Trick-or-Treat

Trick-or-Treat night always falls on Madison's birthday here in Glen Carbon due to the big Halloween parade being on Halloween. So it is always fun for her to dress up for her birthday! Before we went trick-or-treating we had the Purcells' over to carve pumpkins. I think Jenna and I both appreiciated not being huge and pregnant this year!! It's crazy how time flys!

Jenna helped Maddie aka "Rapunzel" with her pumpkin decorating. Grant just wasn't having it being in the pack-n-play! So Mommy and Grant read directions while Maddie and Jenna decorated. Thanks Jenna for all your help!! We couldn't have done it without you......or at least it wouldn't have looked as nice!!!
Madison and her final product. Too cute. A princess pumpkin for the princess!

I really didn't get to take many pictures after that of the carving. Grant was hungry, so I feed him. We had trick-or-treaters starting to come, so I handed out candy. Then Madison saw their costumes and wanted hers on, so I got her dressed and ready. Then, I finally got to carve my pumpkin! I think I literally carved it in 5 minutes! Oh well, I think it turned out ok!!

Jenna and Bill's masterpieces!!

Mark, Madison, and my masterpieces.

Then trick-or-treating!!!!

Nolan and Madison all dressed up. Nolan was a very cute sack of taters!!

Dopey finally decided to join the group!!

My very cute men!!

Madison wanted me to be the queen and Mark to be the prince. As you can see, I was the only one who participated!!! It was pretty easy. I just put my costume on from last year. Mark's on the other hand would have required a little bit of work. I just finished Grant's costume that morning. Sorry Daddy, I just ran out of time!!

Snow White and her Dopey!!

Madison had her "poison" apple ate by the first stop.

Dopey looks thrilled!!

Still thrilled to have the costume on!!

Now the fun begins!!

As soon as we got home and took the costumes off, Grant was ready to wrestle with Daddy, and Madison puts back on her Rapunzel costume!! Granties happy to be half naked and Madison wants to be another princess!!

Grant loves to rough house already. He is defiantly all boy!!

It was a good way to end the night!!!

We had a great time carving pumpkins with Jenna, Bill, and Nolan!! We are defiantly starting some traditions. Our new neighborhood was great to trick-or-treat in as well. Everyone decorated their homes and walked the subdivision. I told Mark it was kinda like something out of a movie. It was also nice being able to walk to Uncle Patrick and Aunt Sarah's house to trick-or-treat. I think this house, neighbors, and sub division is going to be a keeper!!!
