Halloween

We've had a fun few days with pumpkin carving, class parties, fall family fun night, haunted houses, and trick-or-treating.

This year Chase gutted, designed, carved, etc his entire pumpkin by himself. It is very hard for me to justsit back and not fix it or make suggestions, but he was so excited to do everything solo! Crew had the cutest Mr Potato Head-like pieces from Grandma Gayle for his pumpkins. He had so much fun with them.

For school, Chase was a hip-hop gangster and Caden was Beckham. It wasn't until I showed up to do class parties in the afternoon that I found out that they weren't supposed to dress up for school. Oops! I asked Chase if he was embarrassed and he responded "are you kidding me? I would choose to dress like this. I look like a pimp!" ...... oh dear.
Caden was a darling Beckham with tatooed arms and all.
In Caden's class we made carmel apples and I made Witches Brew for them. They were so excited for the brew and drank every last drop!

I made Jack-O-Lantern tortillas with Chase's class and quickly learned that they are SO not too old for parties. They were so excited and appreciative, I can't wait to do another party for his class. They just loved it!
Halloween Night. I missed my girlfriends and all the traditions of the holiday but we had such a fun night. Pictures by the beach, dinner at Longhis, trick-or-treating, ..... It is so fun to make new traditions and explore new things. We LOVED the warmth of the evening and walking with the kids as they ran from house to house.
