Halloween Fun

The month of October was full of excitement over Halloween.  Wegman's parking lot was lined with a ridiculous amount of large pumpkins that caught the kid's attention every time we shopped.  Debby treated Tyler to one and then we ended up getting two more.  Brennan couldn't wait to roast the seeds and we finally got our act together and cleaned out and carved the pumpkins.  They looked great for a couple of days then 80 degree temps arrived.  By the time Halloween rolled around, the pumpkins were sad, wilted and falling into themselves.

On Halloween, Tyler's preschool had their annual parade.  Although Tyler asked to be Spiderman (and I purchased the costume), when the day came, he insisted on being Batman and wore Brennan's costume from 3 years ago.  He also wore this costume last year... we've gotten our money's worth out of it!

Tyler didn't know my parents would be at the parade and as soon as he walked by where we were standing, he looked at my parents and started crying.  He didn't want to continue in the parade, he just wanted Baba.  So, my dad was a good sport and joined the parade :)

That night, the boys were ready for trick-or-treating.  We had friends over for dinner and trick-or-treating, and when the time came to head out, it was a little hectic and I did not get photos of the boys on the stoop like I normally do.  This picture below was actually taken a week earlier, when we were heading to the Monster Mash at Brennan's school.   This year, the boys made it all the way around the circle trick or treating - about a mile!  They came home with their bags FULL!
