The trick or treaters were all very polite, took only one unless prompted to take a second, and always said thanks. And the biggest surprise of all was that they LOVED the little mini playdough (imported, leftover from last year's Utah Halloween) I gave out in addition to candy. Even the older (meaning 10 year olds!) kids.
Eugene and Mia carving the pumpkin we were lucky to get.
Doesn't he looked relaxed? He had taken the DAY OFF and it was such a lovely day for us as both girls were in school. We went out for coffee, lunch and just had a great day - seven (waking) hours on our own! I think we've only had that once or twice in the last 7.5 years.
Scary witches!
NOW FOR MORE SCARY...
I had promised the girls that they could turn my 38.5 week belly into a pumpkin! They had fun, even though I admit I was a little "done" with the project when they kept sticking prickly brushes on my belly button while doing the mouth. Euge took over. Not a sight you will forget for a while, no?

I LOVE that Vanessa!!!! Nothing better than getting your belly painted ;)
That cracks me up! Love your tummy as a pumpkin - too funny.
And the girls look great as witches.
Was fab chatting today - thanks for the call, info and support!
Oh and so envious of the hours alone with your hubby! I dream of such things...sadly I might choose a nap over a nice coffee and chat with him if given the opportunity right now.
I laughed so hard I almost peed my preg-o pants when I saw this post!
I love your Jack-O-Belly. The girls look great. How about the election??? How was it to experience it over seas?
I love your pumpkin!!! It sounds like a lovely day, indeed. I am impressed that in the last little bit you came up with THREE costumes for your kids. That's great that the trick or treaters loved the playdough--we had erasers and pencils to go with our candy and the kids liked those too... but I love candy too much to do away with it entirely :).
this is the best!!! You are hilarious! -Aina
