We didn’t make it to the orchard this year to pick our own pumpkins due to me being so sick, so I was very excited when Hy-Vee had giant pumpkins for $4 each. Each boy picked one out.
A few days later we open them up to carve them, and unfortunately they were somewhat rotten and moldy inside. See Lewis’ face? Accurate. Turns out they had some cracks in the bottoms.
Elias really enjoyed scooping out his pumpkin. We were able to scoop them out and carve them anyway, but someone was quite disappointed nonetheless.
Team breakfast was at our house on Halloween morning, and Jack was in charge. He wowed is all! He made his family’s sausage soufflé recipe for us, which was amazing. He also decorated the tables and hung a sign, had festive paper goods, AND dressed up like a shark. Elias wanted the shark to read him a book (see pic above).
That evening we went trick or treating with friends, and Augustine was adamant that the kids have a dance party afterwards. I think because he recently made up some sweet moves and he wanted to wow his girl. ;) Lewis went trick or treating with us for the first time ever! He usually stays home and passes out candy with Grandma. And Logan threw together an impressive last minute costume...a traffic cone (he wore the pointy hood on his jacket to complete the look).
The pumpkins turned out great despite being quite mushy by that evening. We had fun trick or treating a few blocks away in the old ‘hood.
As always, we visited the Sisters and Jesus on our trick or treat route.
And Augustine got his dance party in at the end of the night!
