Happy Halloween

Johnna set her alarm last night and I asked, "what for?". She said that she was going to get up early to start a new tradition; pumpkin pancakes. What? Gross. There were no pumpkins

harmed in the making of this breakfast. They were real pancakes and tasted terrific. I was impressed.

After breakfast, we carved the pumpkin

Every time I would lift the lid Carter would try with all of his might to close it.

I totally LET Him win.

But he warmed up to it and tried to eat it.

I bet he's thinking, I wonder if I could fit down in there. ;)

"I knew I could fit."

I would make a joke about Carter leaving a surprise in the pumpkin but that would be gross

The Cul-de-sac street party. It originally was going to include a haunted house which was dropped from the plans, but I don't see how it could have been any cooler. The neighbors all grilled and brought other food and deserts and sat outside and handed out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Everyone had a great time.

Here is a video

Sometimes they remind me more of Looney Tunes but we sure love watching these three Disney characters having fun. They were so good about keeping their costumes on.

Oh yeah, here are Tatum and Granddad sitting by the finished product.

All of the older kids were throwing the football in the street so Tanner ran in to get his mouse-sized football so that he could play too. Tatum joined in and I wish we had video taped these two little mice running around the cul-de-sac chasing each other with the football. It was hilarious how they ran in these costumes.

Off to trick-or-treat for Carter's first Halloween!

He knew exactly what to do with his first candy. (I'm sure there is a guilty grandparent somewhere who is responsible).

By the end of the night, the Twins had the "trick-0r-treat" thing down. Most of the night they would yell "Trick-or-Treat" walking down the street between houses and on the porch but when someone would come to the door, the cat got there little mice tongues and they stood there silent.
