Next came pumpkin carving and painting. Tate and Heidi got Reese and Noah ceramic pumkins with their names in the teeth for them to paint. And Noah carved an awesome skeleton hand into his pumkin this year using his wood carving knowledge and tools.
Then we went to a party at My Gym. A place where Reese goes to play and climb once a week. They had even set up a little "haunted house" for the kids. She had a blast there and was excited to show her dad and brother all the things she can do there.
The next day we went to a party at a friend of Noah's. While Noah ran and ate lots of candy with his buddies, Reese directed Dave and I around - we spent time flapping our arms and "bok"ing like chickens and scratched in the dirt with sticks.
Finally came Halloween and we all dressed up and went trick-or-treating. Nobody knew who Reese, Dave and I were, so we just let people think we were whatever they guessed - "Are you veggietales?" yes, "Are you those birds from that Pixar short film?" yes, etc. Just for the record, we were Peep, Chirp and Quack from the cartoon series Peep and the Big Wide World.
Noah was the downtrodden ninja who's mother made him get his picture taken.
First we went early with Reese and her friend Ruby and then later I took Noah with his friend Sam. We all had chili and donuts in between rounds of trick-or-treating. Everyone ended up getting tons of candy, of course. I wasn't sure how Reese would do, but she really got into it. She carried her bag herself and knocked on doors herself. And being as social as she is, when the doors opened, she took that as an invitation to come right in.
