Anyway, the evening started with pumpkin carving. Shortly after seeing the disgusting mess that fills the pumpkins, all three kids were out on the pumpkins. So, the dads and Great Uncle Al (his visit will be a post of its own later) took to the dirty deed of scooping out the gunk. Apparently, Chris feels the same way about the pumpkin guts.
Look at that tail... seriously, I wanted to eat him up!
Trick-or-Treating. Ahh, yes... The wonderful Halloween tradition where parents teach their children it's ok to take candy from strangers. What about "stranger danger"? Let's just put that on the back burner for one night, so we can get loads of candy, calories, and cavities. Anyway, Andrew indulged in some more trick-or-treating by hitting the hot spots (hots spots like the five houses closest to Martha's).
Chris and I initially took Andrew out there to snap a few shots of the Chubby Cub with his cousins, Tinker Bell and The Ninja. After pictures, GREAT Uncle insisted that the Chubby Cub didn't get dressed up for nothin', and that he should go door to door. Who am I to deny Martha's neighbors the chance to see my super cute kid?
At the first house, the doorbell rings, and the neighbor opens the door to see an adorably confused Tinker Bell (cat ears, really?) , a very fierce Ninja, and an infant holding a pumpkin with 5 pieces of candy that he can't eat yet. Which one of these does not belong?
Where did those five pieces of candy come from if we hadn't started yet? Well, Uncle Jason gave everyone some "Starter" candy. In his words,"You don't want the neighbors to think this was our first house." Of course we wouldn't Jason. There's even a strategy to trick-or-treating. That's good to know. Andrew would have been the laughing stock.
I will be adding to this post as soon as Martha sends me the pumpkin carving pictures... They are hilarious. Until then, I must start a new post for the GREAT Uncle Al.
:) Happy Halloween (two weeks ago)
Anne
