It seems like this time of year we have something going on every day. So I'm a little behind in posting Our Halloween pics. We started last week by carving pumpkins that we grew our very own selves in our garden. We started this with Luke and we continue every year. The kids get up on the counter and dig in.
Its the Great pumpkin Charlie Brown playing in the background.
Pulling out the seeds is always the fun part, who doesn't love slimy?? We let the boys try carving their own pumpkins, with a LOT of supervision. Happy to report no band aids needed and cute pumpkins now sitting on our porch.
So the big reveal...... the boys have spent the last two months looking at costumes and going back and forth between who they wanted to be. The process is half the fun :) After much discussion between the two of them, they choose.....
Obi-Wan Kenobi (or as Kolby calls himself kobe-kenobi)
And Anakin Skywalker
Our little Jedi Knights.
Luke's School had a Halloween carnival on Fri night. Lots of games and activities for the kids. As you walked in the building Luke's Principal was dressed all in black with a hood sitting in a chair. Kolby refused to walk past him. We carried him in and then stopped to get a picture at this frame they had set up. Dew had to stand behind it with Kolby. You can see where he is looking....he was not a fan of the principals costume.
On Saturday was our Heritage festival held every year. This flag was sent from one of our local boys serving in Afghanistan. It was carried by his cousin in the parade. I was so proud of Luke and Kolby. We were at the parade with some of their friends. When they saw the flag coming they stood up and told their friends to do the same. Luke said "that's our flag you put your hand on your heart when it goes by" It doesn't seem like that long ago when we Dewey and I were crying as we landed in Minneapolis because it meant Luke was now a U.S citizen.

A very touching moment in the parade.
My pictures did not turn at that well because we were facing into the sun, but this one was to cute to pass up.
Lots of big tractors, to hold a boys attention.
And the highlight, sheep running down main street
I'm told they bring the sheep down out of the mountains this time of year and that it goes along with the Heritage theme. Its a crowd pleaser for sure :)
The local Calvary church puts on a HUGE Halloween festival each year for the town. There are bible themed games with loads of candy given out. Cotton candy, apple cider and bounce houses, we go every year and love it. This year they had a firetruck and police car with police officer for the boys to talk to. He was so nice and let the kids sit in and check out his car as much as they wanted.

I did not even have to ask Luke to smile, he was just this happy to be sitting in the car.
Same goes for Kolby
We did go trick or treating to a few house in our neighborhood. Luke and Kolby are the only kids, thus only trick or treaters. So once again they made out like little bandits. Our wonderful neighbors spoil them silly. I'm pretty sure they do not have a very accurate idea of what trick or treating really is.

Another fun Halloween come and gone.
