The Halloween Entry

Here are pictures of all things Halloween...pumpkin carving, trunk or treating, table or treating and parading.

Cole named his pumpkin "Happy". He didn't want to put his hand inside the pumpkin, so I did it for him! (He didn't want to touch the pumpkin b/c he said it smelled like stink! That is one of his favorite sayings by the way..."It smells like stink!") He just wanted to poke the pumpkin. We ate the seeds after, but he didn't like them. Maybe they tasted like stink? :)

Before we moved here we had never "trunk or treat"ed or even heard about it. It is pretty big here. A lot of churches offer it for the kids. People park in a row with their trunks facing out and decorate their trunks and give out candy. The kids just walk down the row and collect tons of treats. We went to one at night where the church members put it on and we didn't have to decorate our trunk. Then we went to one during the day with our MOPS group...we got to decorate for that. We also did a "table or treat" inside with our play group where the kids paraded around and took treats from the tables the moms decorated.

One last thing before the pictures...Cole was a Ford Flex for Halloween. He wanted it a "crazy green color". I know a lot of the details are not in proper proportion, but we did the best we could with the supplies we had. We got the big symbol on the front from a local Ford dealership. Oh, the headlights work!
