Ok. Get ready for a ton of Halloween photos! Our revelry started on Monday evening with pumpkin carving! Bruce and Colter got home from Seattle that afternoon and Bruce didn't have to fly out until Tuesday, so we cooked some tortilla soup and went to work! Mason's pumpkin was huge (as noted in the previous pumpkin patch post!)! It took him forever to scoop out all of the seeds and junk! I can't stand to have hanging pumpkin junk in my pumpkin, so it took me forever too! After I helped Mason with his pumpkin and carved mine, it was time to clean, separate and roast the seeds. While I was working on the seeds, Bruce pulled out the electric carving knife and went to work. He and Mason carved the "X" pumpkin! Pretty cool! They also carved Emma's pumpkin (which we grew in our garden). Here is our handy work:
On Halloween I took Mason, Drake and Emma Jayne to the Treehouse museum for the annual Halloween party. I thought Mason and Drake would be bored, but they had a great time....Emma's favorite part was the Halloween sing-a-long. She loved singing, and for the first time, didn't mind me singing with her!
Emma Jayne enjoying her "lady bug picnic" of sushi (my kind of picnic!!)....
I love the Zebra/Lady Bug combo here....
Little miss Halloween song singer!
On Halloween night we were so excited to have Bruce home to Trick-or-Treat! I cooked up a big pot of chili for dinner, then Bruce and I took Emma to the houses on our block. It was her first time Trick-or-treating & she had a great time! Luckily the weather was really warm....she didn't even need a jacket. After we were done, Grandma Sue, Jeni and Nikki came out to eat. I wanted everyone to sit down and eat, but Mason and Drake were going crazy-they couldn't wait, so Bruce took them out. The rest of us had a nice meal, passed out treats and watched "Ghost Hunter's live" on TV. Later, Grandpa Vern and Grandma Joyce stopped by. Bruce and Mason were by our house again, so Grandpa and Bruce took Emma around again. By the end of the night, Bruce was tired and starving and Mason had a huge bag of candy!!!!

Colter is conspicuously absent in these photos.....Too old for all the activites, according to him. He had a good time anyway and we had fun with him helping us pass out the treats!
