We started out the holiday with a party at our friends house. Unfortunately Matt wasn't able to join us as he was addressing our mice issue (it deserves its own post) and doing homework. The boys and I had a good time and we made these donut hole eyeballs to take for a treat!
On Thursday we carved pumpkins. The boys mostly liked to watch and I enjoyed cooking up the seeds afterwards.
We each carved one and then the boys decided they wanted to carve the itty bitty pumpkin that grew in our garden this summer! That was all we got and it was tiny, but the boys liked it. It has a sad face because they carved it for Grandma Mattie and as she isn't here they were sad.
Friday, we of course visited Matt at work because Microsoft sure knows how to throw a good Halloween party. There was lots of trick or treating, a Willy Wonka house and lots of things to do with the kids. We joined Matt for lunch and enjoyed spending the extra time with him.
On Saturday I took the boys to their gymnastics gym where they had a little Halloween party. It was great fun and FREE! The boys got to play at the gym for an hour and then got a little bag to take home filled with goodies. It was really fun.
That night we did our first official trick or treating. Both boys were dressed as Batman this year. That will be two years in a row for Cole. I say, why mess up a good thing! The boys had a great time. Ethan was a little slower so Cole did his best to help him and we had him skip a few houses in between. They loved the idea of knocking on doors and getting candy. Then we visited our friends and hit a halloween party. It was a great night.
