Well, we were a Vampire family. Anyone for a bite?
The kids didn't have school on Friday, so we dressed up and visited my work, to see everyone who had dressed up. The kids did a little trick or treating there. Aren't we scary?
But oh so cute.
After that, we headed home to carve pumpkins. Gracie worked hard on her pumpkin. It had a really thick skin. Woo eee!
Yes, those are pumpkin guts on TJ's spoon! No, he did not dig them out himself! TJ still wouldn't clean out his own pumpkin this year. He made faces and tried hard not to gag. But it makes a good picture.
TJ's friend was there while we were doing pumpkins. Lucky for TJ, Jaden didn't mind sticking his hands in the pumpkin. So Jaden cleaned the pumpkin while TJ looked on in disgust. LOL
The it was time to carve. Gracie made her own kitty design, and got right to work.
TJ used a bat design. We taped it on and both boys started cutting.
The finished product! A cat and a bunch of bats in the moon. Gracie had a light that changed colors and TJ's light was a strobe. They looked awesome, but I didn't even attempt pictures of that this time.
After that, we got hair cuts and then did the main street parade. Basically, kids line up and go down main street and back up, while businesses hand out candy. We got 1 block in an hour and said forget it. It was crappy candy anyway.
Saturday, we headed to the local Corn Maze! This is a yearly tradition. Afterward, we always stop at the Bluebell store and get a hand dipped ice cream cone. Here is Gracie in the corn bin, pretending to be a scarecrow.
Here they are on the Cow Train. They're getting almost to big for it.
And we always take a picture in the old wagon. This year they had the wagon decorated with corn stalks and a pumpkin. Such cuties!
They have a little maze set up with bales of hay, and a big slide. Here is TJ above the entrance.
In the maze....lost, but smiling and having fun, we stop for a photo. Okay we weren't really lost. We knew right where we were. We even got eaten by a dinosaur.....you'll see what I mean later.
We took a hay ride to the pumpkin patch, to see if any pumpkins survived the snow. We found a couple little ones, which is good enough.
Gracie buried in the corn bin.
TJ buried in the corn bin.
Here is the aerial view of the maze...see the dinosaur? We were in it's mouth...we climbed on it's back...and we escaped!
Great fun! Halloween night we trick or treated and the kids got WAY TOO MUCH candy. But we had a fun time. Hope you did too!

Cynthia, I thought your hair looked shorter in the vampire..and then it got even shorter! Looks nice and a lot of fun. Glad TJ's feeling better.
