an october 31st for the books

What a grand day we had. The kids smiled and jumped around and talked non stop all day. I love Halloween: the silliness and unbridled adoration for all things bad.

 The school drop off this morning. My new favourite shot of Kate. She loved being a bleached blonde.

Do you think Kate was excited? Especially at pick up when she explained to me that she did "no work all day."

 Home for the afternoon, carving our ten pound pumpkin.

 Kate was an awesome helper cleaning out the guts and separating the seeds.

Showing off some of their loot from their classmates/teacher - vampire teeth for Elliott and green goo for Kate. Those teeth made it into the bathtub tonight and for book time.

And they're off. The first house of Trick or Treating 2013.

 The Halloween classic shot - we get this one annually.

Our handsome Knight. For the records, according to Elliott, "lots of Knights don't wear their helmets. It's okay."

Who can resist a Minion?

Our family's first Jack O' Lantern.

And here's the loot!

Starting to see friends' and families' Halloween shots online and they all look awesome.  Hope everyone had a great day and that no one falls into a sugar coma tonight.

P.S. Wish Cody luck - he and a couple of his good friends are competing in another Crossfit event this Saturday in St. John. Stay tuned for the hard bodies; I can't wait.
