A Pirate says, "Arrhh!"
Halloween was a BLAST this year. We had a great time the Monday prior carving pumpkins and making caramel apples. Blake and Wesley need a little help with the carving part, but Astella was a STAR carving her pumpkin with limited supervision! She did a fantastic job.
On Halloween I helped out with Astella's kinder-carnival and then the boys and I went to watch Astella in the costume parade. Luckily the rain held off long enough for the kids to have a decent parade!
That night we enjoyed a little nutritious dinner before setting out to accumulate the largest amount of candy in the least amount of time. Astella, Blake and Wesley all obliged me by allowing me to make them matching pirate costumes this year. I must say they were the cutest band of pirates around.
After a little trick-or-treating and a little bit of rain, we returned home to assess the "booty". We let the kids eat as much candy as they wanted thinking it would deter them from wanting any the next day (not so). They had a fun time trying out new flavors and new chocolates--Nerds being the new favorite!
All in all, it was a REALLY fun event! Enjoy the pictures!
