We had several Halloween activities in October, which works out great since at least one of our kids never settles on just one costume. Enoch was Obi Wan Kenobi, a chef, and a knight this year. Hilde made her own costume for the second year in a row. This year she was bubble bath. She was adorable, but it was a little hard for her to walk around in her costume. Phinn picked out a costume from our local consignment shop and wore it all month, a race car driver. Which is funny since he has almost zero interest in cars. He loved the mask though. Freya was a cute bunny rabbit.
Pumpkin carving was a lot of fun this year. Enoch and Hilde got to help with all the slimy pumpkin guts. We even made a decent batch of pumpkin seeds, a first for us.
We baked and decorated pumpkin sugar cookies.
We went to both Enoch and Hilde's elementary school dances. It was fun for Enoch to be able to see some of his old friends.
I got to help out with Phinn's preschool Halloween party. He insisted on wearing his Hawaiian button down shirt underneath his costume.
And then Halloween night was finally here. Phinn thought that anytime it was dark outside it meant that it was Halloween, but we did wait until the 31st to go trick or treating. I took the kids, assuming I would be home after a few minutes with the little ones. Boy was I wrong. Freya insisted on carrying her bag by herself, dragging it over a mile as we went all around our neighborhood. She would cry when I tried to help out, as if I would steal her candy. These kids really made a haul too!
