Halloween

Ella was not afraid to get her hands dirty carving pumpkins

Jack, on the other hand, still won't touch the "gooey".  He saw a picture of himself carving a pumpkin when he was 2 years old and he had a sucker, so now he thinks it's a tradition.  He insisted on having a sucker while he carved.

The finished product!

Photo credit to Jack for this one.  We're centered and everything!

My cute little ladybug!  All creative credit goes to my friend Jess on this one.  She made this for her daughter a few years ago.

Jack wanted to be Optimus Prime from his favorite cartoon "Rescue Bots".  In retrospect I should have ordered up a size, but his little wedgie bum was actually pretty cute.

Checking out the loot!  Jack and his friend Charlie were die hard trick-or-treaters.  They were gone for a couple of hours and even had to have a potty break on an electrical box.  Thanks for that Dad (insert sarcasm).

Ella didn't get as much candy in her brief debut, but Jack was a good sharer and she loved answering the door with me at home.
