This year Halloween kind of sneaked up on us, but we still managed to get the house decorated, pumpkins carved and costumes together. We had one weekend at home between our trip to Ohio for the wedding and Ben and I going to Charlottesville for homecoming. The weather was nice that weekend so we got our Halloween decorations up while we had the chance.

We spent the evening of Ben's birthday carving pumpkins. Paige and Virginia each had their own pumpkin and they drew the faces on them and helped us do the carving. They also helped clean all of the innards out of their pumpkins. They weren't big fans of that part, but they got in there and got dirty. Somehow, though, I managed to not get pictures of the completed pumpkins. I don't know how that happened.
I think Paige's face says it all in this picture.

The afternoon of Halloween there was a costume parade at the girls' daycare, so Ben and I went to watch. The kids were all so cute in their costumes.

Halloween night- ready to go trick or treating!

We went around our block and to one other street to trick or treat and then we headed home because the girls wanted to hand out candy. While we were trick or treating Mimi and Pops we handing out candy at our house, but they were happy to let Paige and Virginia take over when we got back home. It wasn't long before we ran out of candy once Paige and Virginia started giving 3-4 pieces to each child who came along! That was fine, though, because then we went in, had a piece or two of candy and then headed to bed. We had a fun Halloween once again!
