We began celebrating Halloween by carving pumpkins about 2 weeks ago with Caga and Miriam at their beautiful new house. Miriam made us the most wonderful butternut squash and black bean chili that was even served in real pumpkins. Then we moved onto the deck to carve the pumpkins. You can see that the girls were so excited that they were jumping up and down.
Andy can't stand the smell of pumpkin, so I was outside with the carving guy, Jarrett. The girls loved scooping out the junk, which was just fine with Andy. I hope Jarrett will carve pumpkins with them every year if something ever happens to me. I don't think Andy could do it.

Our school had a fish fry and Trunk-or-Treat on Friday night. Mamie made the girls fairy skirts when Bennett was born and Ellison gave them two sets of wings that she didn't like. The girls decided to be ballerina fairies, so they wore their leotards too. Carly is in the purple and Joiner is here in the pink. You have to know Joiner to know why she added the hat!

The fairies with Bennett. He has a monkey csotume, but we saved it for Halloween night
He was perfectly happy without a costume! He loved to people watch.
After the trunk-or-treating the girls discovered the booths. We can't be near face painting without getting our faces done. Here Carly is watching Joiner
Now it's Carly's turn
Joiner's butterfly (she picks that every time)
Carly's flower. She had all this gitter and even a stone on it. Very elaborate.
Now, if you know Andy, you know what his favorite part of the night was....FISH FRY. So he bought tickets for us to eat as he parked the car. When it was getting dark, we headed in with the Townsends to get our food. Carly has gotten into hotdogs(yuck), thanks to school, so that is what she got. The rest of us got fish and it was really yummy. Bennett thought so too!
Here are the kids with all their loot
We went to Leah's church on Saturday night for the Fall Festival she plans, but it was too dark to get any good pictures. So for Halloween, we got all dressed again for round 3 of Halloween fun. Andy was in bed with a cold, so the kids and I headed to the Townsend's for dinner and trick-or-treating. This time my little monkey was there! Look how cute!
The fairies, Ellison, and Mr. Dave on the prowl
The first house
The girls with the big pumpkin
I think this house was the favorite because they each got a full pack of silly bands! Wow!
Say cheese. There is no hope of all of them looking at the same time. I am shocked that Joiner is looking at me!
Here's the monkey. I would just hear him talking and laughing as he was watching all the lights and people.
Now that we get it, we are running!
Trying to get another group shot
Just a few more houses
Kinda looking
We came in and everybody got to pick one piece to enjoy. This selection took a few minutes!
Bennett and mommy. My teeth look really terrible here, but I am posting it anyway.
We headed home and after getting all three clean (and 1 fed) and in bed, I was exhausted. At least there was a little bit of candy to revive me:)
