Happy Halloween!!

 What a great Halloween!! The weather was perfect and it fell on a Saturday. I wish every Halloween was on a Saturday. It was so much more relaxed. The kids were able to run around and play with their friends with no worries of school the next day. So fun! We started out with carving our pumpkins. This year we went the traditional route and let the kids make their own faces and carve them out.

 Getting ready to scoop out all the guts!

 Jackson drawing his masterpiece.

 Beckett's turn!

 This was the first year that Jackson was actually able to carve his own pumpkin :)

 The finished product!

 Beckett's :)









 Next it was time for trunk or treat at the church! Beckett got some super cool vampire fangs.

 This year was a little different. Jackson spent most of the time running around playing some sort of tag game with his friends and Beckett hung out with me with the animals. He loves the animals!

 Now that's a hairy cow!

I was lucky enough to be able to go to both kids Halloween parties this year which is not usual for this working mom. At Jackson's, we carved pumpkins and guessed how many seeds it would have. We then had to count all of them. There were over 400 seeds!!

 This was the first party that I have ever been able to attend for this cutie! Funny story. These teachers are the same teachers that Jackson had at this age. They asked me how Jackson was doing. Said they remembered he was so smart and serious and asked me if I thought he was going to be a doctor. They then started talking about Beckett.They said he is so nice and the life of the party. They then told me they thought he was going to be great frat boy! I didn't know quite how to respond but then my girlfriend told me that at least it means he is going to college! ;)

 Sweet kiddos getting ready for the Halloween treats!

Praying before they eat. So sweet! I am always so impressed how well behaved these 3 year olds are!!

 They end each day saying the pledge of allegiance. Could they be any cuter?

This year was a little different for Halloween. We usually go to a big Halloween parade in our neighborhood, but this year we had a birthday party at the club. It was so cute! The kids dressed up, there was a costume contest, dance floor with dancing, and puppet show. And of course....lots of fun treats!

 Jackson and his "future wife"...Mary :)

 The time had finally arrived to trick or treat! The kids could not wait!!

 One last pic before we head out!

 Right as we were leaving, some trick or treaters came by. The kids were so cute giving them candy.

 Beckett ran over to give the little tiger some candy too.

 I have very few pics of the kids because they just ran way too fast! Beckett had a hard time keeping up, but he tried :)

 Candy!!!! I think Beckett would have been satisfied getting 1 piece of candy and heading home.

 Some of the crew before they took off again!

We always have to go to the "scary" house in the neighborhood. Jackson didn't want to go at first but got super brave and conquered his fear!










Beckett was not scared at all. He just kept staring at the wolf man. Surprisingly, the kids had enough trick or treating after only about 45 minutes. We all then headed to the Eubanks so the kids could burn off some candy energy! It was so nice!! The kids ran around outside while the adults ate and hung out. Best Halloween ever!!!
