Halloween 2014


The night before Halloween, daddy came home from work with a few pumpkins...



Daddy was a little meticulous about pumpkin carving and nervous (understandably) about handing over a knife to Nat, even if it is kid-safe.  At one point I overheard Natalie say "Daddy, if you don't let me help, I'm going to put the eyes back IN the pumpkin."

This year for Halloween, Katie disappeared right after school and went to a neighborhood friend's house and participated in their Haunted Asylum experience.  She dressed up in normal clothes splattered with blood, laid on a bench quietly and after people entered the haunted house, sat up screaming as loud as she could.  She came home happy and said she had lots of fun (especially scaring some of the boys on her bus) - but we have no pictures of her.

 
Hot-Dog-Gus was less than impressed with Halloween this year.  He laid in the courtyard and tried his best to nap, but there were just too many noises, kids, smells to be able to successfully take a nap.  I think he got up once to bark at someone who brought their dog up our driveway.
 
After an evening full of trick-or-treating with daddy, Natalie decided she would like to give out candy for a while.  She sat patiently in the driveway and very nicely told people "Happy Halloween - please take two candies."
