Prepping for Halloween

This weekend we finished prepping for Halloween aka All Hallow's Eve! We carved pumpkins, got the finishing touches for the girls' costumes, and carved pumpkins. Ava got to go to a Halloween party in her costume (she already has all the candy one kid could possibly need)
Our lawn kitty
Violet had a blast

 She got right in there and dug out those pumpkin guts!
 
Ava had to take her clothes off before she would start.
She didn't like the slimy feeling, so of course she couldn't touch the guts with her bare hands!

 Cheese!!!
 "Ok I want to get down now Mom"
 " I'm Serious, I'm done Mom"
 Being a ham
 Goofball!!
As we get ready for the big night tomorrow, it seems almost bittersweet. It's such an exciting night for little kids, and big kids a like.
Our biggest worry is if it will rain tomorrow and make for a short, miserable trick-or-treating session, probably more disappointing to us as parents then the kids! However, there are other people (in states not so far away) losing their houses, being separated from their families and enduring much higher winds, fires and losing power in the cold. I am glad I do not have family in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, any of the affected states, but for those who do I hope you are able to locate and account for everyone. They are saying that " Frankenstorm" is not over yet, and just wait folks, it will get worse. This is devastating news, and I hope they are wrong!
So if you find yourself complaining about the weather today, or tomorrow....just stop and think how much worse it could be. A lot more could be at stake then child's costume.
So put an extra layer on them, grab an umbrella and go make the best of the night!!
Our Little Monsters!!
