Jacob is at a basketball game, and I'm trying very hard not to spend the night watching the election coverage and throwing things at the TV. I decided the best course of action was to blog and eat leftover Halloween candy. Which brings me to the topic of this post... Halloween!!
Our festivities really began the Saturday before, with Boo at the Zoo and our church Halloween party. We made Lucy wear the Tigger costume to the zoo because it was freezing, but we let her wear her Super Cupcake Girl costume to the church party. I'd like to recognize my husband for his mad skills in turning black snow boots into red Superman boots using only plastic wrap and red duct tape. McGyver ain't got squat on you.
The Monday before Halloween, we carved our pumpkin. After looking through our jack-o-lantern carving book, Simon decided he wasn't impressed with any designs and came up with his own. Since we are basically subjects to our kids on Halloween, we followed his lead.
As was the case last year, Lucy couldn't keep her hands out of the pumpkin guts, while Simon refused to go near it. Regardless, both kids were satisfied with the end result.
On Halloween, we started with our usual fondue. Lucy was especially impressed with the chocolate portion of the dinner.
After dinner, we hit the streets for some serious trick-or-treating
After our 45 minute begging fest, we came home and watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (for the fifth time that week) and ate miniature candy bars. Halloween was once again a huge success in our house.

Thanks for sharing the details. Makes it better for the grandma who misses these bobkins. Oh, and I miss you and Jacob, of course. But you usually don't dress up and be cute enough to feed treats....
Jacob is pretty amazing with duct tape, but you hold the prize for the pumpkin carving.
