We were very busy this Halloween. With two kids so spread out in ages, we had to do different activities for each one.We carved pumpkins all together. Noah di most all of the carving and did a great job. Reese just played in the pumpkin guts and loved it. She really loves textures and wants to know how everything feels. She could have played with the pumpkin for hours if we let her - I'm thinking of getting her one for Christmas, spreading out a big tarp and just letting her go to town. It would be her favorite present I'm sure. She is like a pet - more interested in the boxes and paper than in the actual toys.
Reese and I have been going to a place called My Gym. Each week we go and do dances and songs and swing and play on the equipment and have a great time. So, the day before Halloween, we attended a party held there for little kids. They had a "Funhouse" to climb through, bubbles filled with smoke, and funky things to touch. On Halloween, Noah had a friend spend the night. We all went to a party held by a friend of theirs from school, then went trick or treating and then watched Gremlins while eating tons of candy. Noah dressed as Darth Vader and this is the only picture of him with his mask on - because of course, as with all Halloween costumes, he could not see throught the eyeholes. His friend also did not wear his mask because it smashed his nose. I told them both that that is all part of the tradition - you can't have a costume that didn't bug the crap out of you by the end of the night or it wouldn't be a true Halloween experience.
