Halloween 2016

 On October 30 we carved our pumpkins. The kids really had a good time doing this. Brooke designed and carved her own pumpkin this year. Porter got right in and liked scooping out all the goopy pumpkin guts and Grant wandered around and inspected our work.

 The kids each had a Halloween party at school

 I've loved that the last few years have been warm and light enough that it's still light out when we go trick or treating and we don't need coats for the first hour or so.

 I made the kids' costumes (except Porters) and it was so fun to see them running around the backyard playing superheroes together.

 Grant really got into Halloween this year. It was so cute to see him run up to the houses and get so excited to show us the candy in his bucket. We let the kids tell us when they're done and this year we only did a couple streets before they were cold and tired, which was fine with us. We didn't end up with a ton of extra candy and Porter and Brooke actually really liked helping me hand out candy at home.
