Halloween Festivities

We spent actual Halloween night buying our van, hitting up the local Golden Corral, and dropping Chris off at the airport. Clark kept looking around at Golden Corral saying, "This isn't Halloween."  But sure enough, loads of kids in costumes (post-trick-or-treaters) came piling into the restaurant. Clark looked around and said, "It IS Halloween!!" with pure joy on his face. We might as well take advantage of the young, naive years where they don't know we are taking the fun away. :)

But we aren't that horrible of parents. They had their fair share of treats and fun. Here's some proof:

I can never get all 3 of them to look at the same time...

Yes, that is a hammock in the background.  It was a cheap replacement for a couch while we save up.

Clark thought decorating the pumpkin meant drawing on it with permanent marker. Not looking so good...

Looks much better at night!

Best job for a 3 year old....unwrapping caramels. Too bad it's only once a year. Kept him busy for 20 minutes!

He was supposed to be a pirate but at the last minute he said, "I don't want to scare the little kids, so I gonna be a monkey."  So our costume from Age 2 got use again...still fits!

George got to be the pirate instead!

Happy Halloween!!!
