Sugar High, Oh My!

 Serious cleaning of the pumpkin guts!

 Taylor did not want anything to do with cleaning them, 

she was a pumpkin hugger!

 Back to the OG of carving Jack-O-Lanterns

 Connor's request of a trash truck costume 

and his sister being the stinky trash, came alive!

 Sassy stinky trash, that is.

 Tay was not into her costume, 

until she got handed her first piece of candy.

Then she ate every single piece.

 Connor's favorite part, he LOVED his nickname license plate.

Many times he turned around trying to show whomever gave him candy.

 Yummy Mummy Pizzas!

 Trick-Or-Treat

 

One happy Garbage truck, still in one piece at the end of the night.

Little late on the Halloween posting, but we had a very fun day. Halloween this year was awesome!!! As we sat in the halloween store, Connor was determined he wanted to be a garbage truck, but they did not have the costume. I searched and hunted...did not find a thing, so then put together this garbage truck in two full days with lots of cuts, burns, and cardboard box hunting. It was worth it though. He was the happiest garbage truck ever. Connor had also mentioned he wanted Taylor to be the stinky trash...after thinking and talking with friends, a trash bag was an easy costume to create :D. So you have it. A super cute garbage truck and his stinky trash. Connor adores his sister, likes to tell her what to do...so it was really perfect this year as Taylor is still at the age she has to go with the flow. Next year I am sure she will be telling me exactly what she wants to be. While trick or treating, Taylor would not let anyone put her candy in her bucket. She insisted that each one was opened and eaten along the way. I am still in shock how she never got sick. Connor was a trooper...never did I think it would be really hard to walk up and down stairs in a massive box or battle the 10 other kids in skinny walkways. He just smiled, asked for help and sometimes went back up to the same house after he got candy just to say thank you, again :D. 

We also carved pumpkins on Halloween. After our pumpkins were stolen, Mike took a long lunch break so we could carve some new pumpkins with the kids.
