Halloween Blessings

We enjoyed Conleigh's first Halloween with costumes, pumpkins, candy, and a surprise visit from Grandma and Grandpa. 

The costumes were a steal.  I found them at a thrift store and paid like $3.23 for both of them.  I had to make a dinosaur head for Kenson and hem Conleigh's but they worked great.  (Plus they were nice and warm for the hayrack ride at church.)

We of course made a jack o'lantern.  Conleigh was quite keen on the guts.  And both of my kids actually ate a few roasted pumpkin seeds without complaining and spitting them out.

Sunday night we headed to church for the fall party.  Soup, candy, games, friends...perfect.  We didn't really do too much trick or treating.  We had a handful of people whom we know who we were going to go to but only one of them was home.  We've got a nice little stash that will hopefully be gone by the end of the week, depending on how much D and I sneak out of it.  And so far there's only been one slightly negative moment when the kids reported today that the dog ate a candy wrapper...
