Pumpkin Time

I, along with Bonnie do not like Halloween. My reasons are a little bit more different than hers but still- don't like it at all! So on Halloween I thought I wouldn't deprive my kids from everything of Halloween so we painted pumpkins (our pumpkins were to small to carve). I didn't get a picture of the final product. Oh well, I'm a crappy mom.





Halloween night (or 5:00) Brent and I decided to take the kids trick-or-treating early because it was the only time that Brent could actually spend with the kids. We made it to four whole houses before Makenna got grounded from it. She got the candy and said "I don't like this kind!" And then threw the candy in the rocks/plants. I was MORTIFIED. I am so sorry Kelly again. I am raising a brat! Obviously she didn't understand that trick-or-treating isn't for her, but for her parents. Gavin loved it and ate all four pieces of candy before we got home... oh and the awesome sticky hands (thanks Dahls). I don't even have pictures of the kids (like I said, I'm a crappy mom), but Kenna decided to be Snow White again and Gavin didn't want to get out of his cowboy getup so he wore his church clothes he was wearing from the baptism and I stuck his boots and hat on and that was it...

Oh! And Brent is finally home again. He has sat tonight for an hour and it is driving him CA-RAY-ZEE!!! I love it. He even took his clothes off (TMI?!) and put on some shorts which is saying a lot! Welcome home babe!

Painting is definitely better than carving......then you don't have decrepid pumpkins on your porch for three weeks! Your kids are the cutest and you really are super mom so remember to be proud of yourself!

That totally made me laugh about Makenna and the candy - she's a sweet girl - we all have our moments! They looked so cute that night!
