Halloween

For Halloween this year, the kids dressed up in costumes as usual.  Jason was an alien.  Megan was a Queen, and Kora was Ladybug Girl.  Kora loves the Ladybug Girl books, and always wants a new one when we go to the library, so she really wanted to be Ladybug girl for Halloween.  Not just a plain lady bug, but Ladybug Girl with the dress since in the books she wears a tutu.  Megan and Jason were excited as usual to be able to wear their costumes at school.  That's what they were looking forward to the most.   

 

We went to some of the parties in town and did a little trick-or-treating.  Kora didn't remember anything from last year, so dressing up and getting candy was all new to her.  She was very excited about it all.  Kora wanted to have her own bag to hold, and she said trick-or-treat to everyone she saw when Megan and Jason helped her go around to the houses.  She was also very good about holding open her bag and saying thank you.

   

 

 

They also carved pumpkins earlier in the week.  They each had their own pumpkin that we helped them with.  Megan and Jason drew on their faces, and Jesse helped them cut it out.  Kora had a good time scooping out the seeds and innards from her pumpkin.  She had no problem sticking her hands inside to clean it out.  Jason had fun with the big pumpkin Grandpa Jim gave us.
