Skimpy Halloween

Monday night before Halloween, Sue came for dinner to visit with my parents. Little did she know, we were also going to do pumpkins! Neither boy liked to do the cleaning, they left that part up to Sue and mom.

Gerrit was into designing his face as well as cutting it out:

Emmit was just as into it - he's just a wee bit small for the knives! Sue let him 'draw' his face which consisted of coloring on the pumpkin:


Emmit and that smile (sporting a fat lip from a fall earlier in the day).


Opa lending a hand with Gerrit's pumpkin:

Attempting to get both boys to look at the camera with a normal smile was not going to happen tonight:

Sad but this is the best looking pumpkin we grew this summer. I have not had to buy a pumpkin in 6 years until this year. We will start over with growing our own from the previous year's seeds:

Gerrit wanted a Spartan S on the little pumpkin...

Another attempt at a picture of the boys and their pumpkins outside.

And where are the pictures from the actual evening....nonexistent.

This is the best I can do - halloween at the BMX park 2 weeks ago...


Halloween was a tough night - Gerrit had a melt down that almost prevented him from going out that night.
I was stuck in night class so Adam was on his own (with Oma and Opa's help).
They were lucky to get the boys fed and dressed without any serious issues....
So, here's hoping for a few more pictures next year when I am not in class and the boys are a bit older!!

Adam said Emmit got into it running up to the houses because he knew it meant candy. He didn't quite get the 'trick or treat' saying but nailed down 'thank you' which is more important anyways!
