Pumpkins and Costumes

Our little town in Arkansas decided to have Halloween on Thursday instead of Friday so it wouldn't interfere with the Friday night High School Football game. So, we carved pumpkins on Wednesday. The children love carving pumpkins (except Christian he didn't like the way the "guts" felt) and were very creative this year. Then on Thursday we went Trick-or Treating to all of the businesses on Main Street and to our church. This year we decided not to buy Halloween costumes. The ones the boys wanted were quite expensive and we have several costumes at home. I told them they had to be creative and come up with a costume using what we already had. Christian was Superman, Anthony was Batman, Alex was a Boxer, Nick was a Jedi, and Chelsea was a Nurse (she borrowed her outfit from my mom.) Everyone had a great time dressing up and seeing all of the other costumes.
