Halloween fun

I can't believe it's November already!

We almost missed going to the pumpkin patch this year. But we promised Merritt, so we squeezed in an hour on Wednesday.

This was the whole reason he wanted to go...

He did a pretty good job, with only a little help from dad.

We had a rather uneventful Halloween (compared to last year). Bruce and Molly stayed home and passed out candy, while the boys and I joined the Parsons and the Gillums for some trick-or-treating. I love it when Halloween falls on a Friday, because the late night doesn't affect the next school day.

Here are some pictures....

Mason started out the morning wearing a Mr. Incredible costume, which he decided was too itchy before he left for school.

So after some hard decisions for him, he went to school as Batman (the costume he actually asked for this year).

When he got home, he changed into Peter Pevensie (from the Chronicles of Narnia) for the evening trick-or-treating. (He got this costume last year some time and it still fits.)

At one point he asked me if he could just not dress up and be absent for the day.

I am including this picture so you can see Mason's evening costume...

Here is our whole trick-or-treating group

Thanks Parsons and Gillums. We had a lot of fun!

And here are the cupcakes I made on Thursday night and Friday morning, for Merritt's class party...

On to November...
