Mom had a birthday the beginning of October so I made a cake for her and we celebrated after the Iowa vs Michigan football win!! Might have been 11pm and cold, but the awesome win made it feel just fine!!
Carving pumpkins for the first time this year. Mason and Mallory both enjoyed pulling all the good stuff out of the inside and then choosing what I got to carve on them
Here were the finished products
Last year the kids were sick around Halloween so we did nothing more than trick or treating, this year however we made it to Living History farms one afternoon. I think the perfect time to go to this would be dusk when they have the pumpkins lit up and the lights on, but yet not too dark that you can't see where you are walking. Kids had a great time getting dressed up...
Mason's class at school had a little 'parade' of sorts in which they walked ourside in front of all the parents to show us their costumes.. costume #2 :)
Trick or Treat night actually fell on halloween night this year, and was a perfect night!! I don't remember the last time it wasn't freezing outside.. and here is costume #3 (Thanks Vicki for letting us borrow some costumes... Mason could never choose which was his favorite, so he just chose to wear a different one to each event!!! )
They came home with quite a bit of candy.. and since Mason only really likes Tootsie rolls, and Mallory, well she will eat any candy you put in front of her so I don't give her much.. the candy mostly got eaten by mom and some by dad.. and then passed it on to my sister!!!
