I Do Believe in Spooks, I Do Believe in Spooks, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do Believe in Spooks!

I have to say that this Halloween has been the best one yet!  Everyone wanted to get their Halloween costumes on, everyone wanted to go Trick or Treating and everyone listened and behaved themselves!  We had a wonderful 2 hours of Trick or Treating with our neighbors!  Beware – LOTS of photos ahead!!

Lexi with her rollers in shortly before getting ready!

Watching for Daddy!  He came home early to go Trick or Treating with us!

Pumpkin Carving 2008

Yep, it’s that time again – pumpkin carving time! :)   We spent part of the day cutting, cleaning out and carving up the pumpkins.  All 5 of us had a great time.  Take a peek!

Lexi smiling for me while pulling out pumpkin guts!


Miss Madison waiting for her turn to clean out her pumpkin!


Anyone that knows Nathaniel and his journey thus far being on the autism spectrum, you’ll already know that less than 2 years ago, he would freak out and break down a bit if he had to put his hands/fingers into anything icky (such as finger paint).  So these photos really show a huge milestone for Nate.  He cleaned out his own pumpkin!  And even though after just 30 seconds of having his hands in the pumpkin, he said “mine’s all done!”, he continued on and cleaned out quite a bit of his pumpkin guts!  You can see his obvious discomfort!!


Maddie getting some help from Daddy!


Maddie smiling for me while Daddy worked hard at the carving!


And the results!!  Scooby Doo, Blue from Blues Clues and a Frankensteinish face!

Lexi with her Frankenstein face pumpkin!


Nate and his Blues Clues pumpkin!


We took them outside after dark and lit up their pumpkins so they could see them.  They thought it was the coolest thing ever!


The pumpkins glowing!
