Halloween!

This was definitely a Halloween to remember! Owen's daycare had a Halloween party on Friday, and they must have really talked it up to the kids. Every day last week he asked if he could go to the Halloween party or go trick-or-treating to get some candy. The weekend before Halloween, we were invited to the Conrans' to decorate pumpkins. Below is Owen's beautiful red and blue (hmm, what superhero do you know of that has a red and blue suit?) glitterty pumpkin...

and here is Richie with his masterpiece!

We roasted pumpkin seeds the next day, which was a truly disgusting experience. I didn't really enjoy digging through the slimy pumpkin innerds, but the smell of seeds roasting in the oven more than made up for it!

On Halloween night, Owen and I went trick-or-treating for about an hour. We met some of our neighbors and got a good bit of candy, plus a cool pencil. Owen loved banging on the doors and saying "Trick-or-treat!" He even said 'thank you' without being reminded!

Saturday, we met Holly and Dylan at the Litton School playground, which is where Owen's birthday party is going to be in just a couple of weeks. There was a slight issue with some, um, feces in the tunnel, but the boys were pretty happy trying to go up the slide together.

And in case you are wondering...

...I was a strawberry cupcake for Halloween, and Richie was a zombie nerd (hopefully I can find a picture to post).
