We had an awesome Halloween. For me Halloween isn't about evil monsters or scary ghosts. It is about the joy I see in my kids eyes as they get dressed up and go trick or treating. And that's exactly what happened this year. Alex was the most excited. He was thrilled about the whole experience, especially when he tried to stuff candy in his mouth constantly. At the end of the night he was sad b/c he thought Halloween was over and his candy would be gone. He was happy to learn that his candy would be waiting for him in his pumpkin at the top of the fridge to be rationed out at dessert times. But, I mean come on, who can eat that much candy? Mackenzie could care less about the whole night. Gabby had the trick-or-treat thing down by now, but she was still very into it. We also carved the pumpkin that we picked at Dewberry. Other than being a little grossed out, Alex and Gabby enjoyed watching a plain ol' pumpkin turn into a real Jack O' Lantern. Halloween was definately the family day we wanted it to be and now I just gotta put away the decorations....ugh. Out with the old and in with the new... Thanksgiving!!!!
