First OK Halloween!

Halloween is definitely Jack's favorite holiday, so there was a lot of excitement leading up to the big day.  While my parents were in town Jack and my mom painted a pumpkin and put spider stickers on it.  We hung fake spider webs and spiders around the house, and Jack had bat stickers in his window for the entire month of October. 

We went to a pumpkin patch a week or two before Halloween, and the boys picked out some pumpkins that we could carve.  We did a smiley face, a bat, and a bad minion from Despicable Me 2 since the boys love that movie:
 Owen was into pumpkin carving more than Jack was.  He had the best time helping:
Halloween day they wore their Halloween outfits.  Jack also had an orange jack-o-lantern shirt and Owen had a shirt that said "Fang-tastic" that they wore the day before.
Halloween night was pretty cold, which is much different than our past 3 Halloweens in California.  We got the firefighter, minion, and black cat all bundled up and headed out to trick-or-treat.
Jack was super shy this year and wouldn't say trick-or-treat to anyone.  He wanted Jonathan or me to go up to each door with him.  Owen had a blast collecting candy from each house.  They both carried little pumpkin lights to be easily seen walking through the dark neighborhood.  
When we got home each boy got a piece of candy and the treat I made for them.  I made each of them a dirt and worms pudding cup in their monster bowls.
It was a fun night, and we're happy to still be in the little years where you only have to go trick or treating for 30 minutes and can easily hide their candy from them :).
