Halloween

Happy Halloween! The trick or treaters are gone, the baby is sleeping, and the dogs are finally done whining/barking. Whew! I really do enjoy handing out candy, and will miss it when Jocelyn is old enough to go trick or treating. However, I will wait at least one more year, because she won't be able to eat any anyway, so I'll have to eat it, and that's just not a good idea. My favorite comment tonight was from a little girl who said to her friend, "Cool! She gave me two pieces of candy and one was a really long Tootsie Roll!"

Jocelyn really enjoyed her first Halloween. She loved watching all the kids and knew to stand at the door you had to have the candy bowl too! Calvin's family comes over every year to help with passing out candy. This year it was just his mom as his dad and brother were off hunting. Calvin had to go to work, so it was just the three girls. Kailee stopped by earlier in the day so we could all see her in costume. All in all, a fun day!


Carving pumpkins last weekend. We bought 3 when we went to pick them out a few weeks ago. However, someone stole 2 of them! Isn't that just awful?! Right off the front porch. Sad. So we had to go pick out 2 more, but of course there weren't many good ones to choose from.

She loved eating the chunk of raw pumpkin...

But didn't like the guts as much.

This one has nothing to do with Halloween, but this is how she slept for her nap today, and it was too cute not to share. That isn't a blanket she's cuddling with, it's the pad from her changing table! She loves to pull it off while she's putting herself to sleep.
