The last two days have been packed with Halloween fun. Friday afternoon Sam had a Halloween party at school and I volunteered to help out. First graders are pretty hilarious (and clueless!) but they were all SOOO excited about the costume parade. I forgot my camera, but another teacher friend took a pic of Sam, so hopefully I can upload that soon. Then, on Friday evening we spent time carving pumpkins. In typical Beckham style, we waited until the last minute to do this, but it was still a fun family tradition that Sam really looks forward to every year. This year he wanted a scary face. He designed it, I traced it onto his pumpkin, and he and daddy carved it while I carved a happy pumpkin for Carter.
Carter getting ready to dig in...
Carter displaying his dislike for anything stick or gooey.
NOT a fan!
After that, he completely lost interest in the pumpkin festivities.
Why mess with yucky orange goo when you can play with trains instead??!!
However, they were both pretty excited with the final product...
Saturday was busy as usual with raking leaves, groceries, haircuts for all (including the neighbor boy) and then it was time to go Trick or Treating!
First stop, Grandma and Grandpa Kleinheksel's...
My Michigan Men
Super Carter!
Papa Ron and his little Cat in the Hat
Owen the Builder
Great-Grandpa Rudy & his annual attempt to scare the kids!
Cousins
Next stop, Trunk or Treating at Zion Lutheran Church with Sam's best buddy Kaedan
Then, we found more loot at Bethany CRC!
Next up, hotdogs, donuts, and more candy at Maplewood CRC.
Can you tell I've had sugar???
I'm out of control...can't stop me now!
Last stop, the "scary haunted house" in Colonial Court.
And for the first time ever, my baby went without me. All by himself. And didn't need me to hold his hand. And I didn't like it.
But, I am liking eating all his candy while he sleeps off a sugar induced coma. :)
