Halloween

We have had quite the busy past few days. Thursday night we went with Benjamin and Tracey to her mom's neighborhood to trick or treat.
This picture was actually from earlier. Mommy had a surprise for Ethan and Benjamin, bubble wrap. It was so much fun.
These pics are from today. Yes, I know, we are slackers and carved the pumpkin on Halloween.
This is from Thursday again, Ethan and Benjamin playing after trick or treating.
Emma enjoying a sucker.
Back to Halloween night. We started out by visiting Nana's house and trick or treating there.
Back to pumpkin carving. Here is Ethan getting the "guts" out of the pumpkin. He didn't like this so much.
Emma dove right in though. Her only problem was keeping her from eating everything. She managed to get a hold, in her mouth, some of the newspaper, some pumpkin guts, and even a seed which Daddy had to go fishing for.
Here is Ethan carving his little pumpkin. We had five pumpkins to carve.
Mommy and Emma trick or treating at the Thompson's.
Uncle Griffin and Bailey trick or treating.
Our cousin Joe and his baby Dane came to our neighborhood also. Dane is a few months younger than Emma and he was a penguin this year.
Here are all three of the kiddos in their costumes ready for some candy.
After everything finally settled down at our house, we hit the road again and went to Mamaw Ann's to trick or treat.
Since we are always out trick or treating with our little ones, Papaw Butch volunteers to come pass out candy at our house. Our neighborhood is a local hot spot on Halloween and we have been known to go through more than 15 bags of candy in one night. Papaw likes to dress up for the occasion. He is Elvis with a mullet here.
About half way around our circle, which is over a mile long, Ethan started to get grouchy and tired so Mommy tried to cheer him up by wearing his race car helmet which he wouldn't wear. Mommy was pretending to race around him.
Jamison and Ethan waiting somewhat patiently for someone to answer the door.
