Halloween

My kids were really looking forward to Halloween, so I tried to make it as fun for them as possible...


The day started off with school and then a Homeschool Halloween Party.

 The kiddos and their neighborhood friend

We read a couple Halloween books.  This one was aptly
named, "The Bumpy Little Pumpkin".

We played Halloween Musical Chairs and other games.

And what's Halloween without 'The Great Pumpkin, 

Charlie Brown'??

 After a school parade around the neighborhood, 

we began to carve our pumpkins.

out seeds.

their pumpkins

 The one-line slinging Unknown Comic joined us

And then it was off trick or treating with friends and having a great time!

The most common question I have heard in the last 12 hours is: "Can I have a piece of candy?" and the most common answer: "Not right now." :)
