Halloween

We carved pumpkins a few days before. The kids had fun getting the guts out. Lyla did a great job helping me outline her pattern and did a little bit of cutting.

We went with Mary Nelson and her family again this year. We were the Mario clan, and thought it came together nicely. Lyla especially enjoyed Halloween this year and ran to each house giggling and laughing with Quinn. At each house she would turn around, hop off the porch and then shout "MOM! Look what I got!" and then run off to the next house. It was so much fun to watch her get excited. 

Mac on the other hand got super excited to get the candy and then sobbed between each house because it had to go in his bucket instead of directly into his mouth. He got about 10 pieces but after that I made him stop and after a few houses of not eating the candy right after he just threw himself on the ground crying. We just laughed, gave him a sucker and put him in the stroller. That was the end of his trick or treating experience for this year. We'll try again next year :) 

Mac's sad face. Its the most pathethic but adorable thing I've ever seen

 Mario was a good theme for us because Lyla got to still be a princess (Princess Peach) but also went along with the family theme 

Mac's overalls from the DI were a little short...at least the hat turned out cute!
