It’s November 9, so that means it’s time for a Halloween post, right? Oh, yeah…sorry…such is the life of a busy working mom.<\/p>\n

However, we did have a fun and fabulous Halloween, complete with pumpkin searching:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

It's almost as big as Caleb! (sorry, folks, we didn't buy that one)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

No, Mommy, it's not a pumpkin, it's a BALL.<\/p><\/div>\n

And what’s the point of having pumpkins if you’re not going to carve them?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The boys did all their own pumpkin clean-out and carving. Dad just helped cut the tops open with the big knife.<\/p><\/div>\n

And, the finished scary pumpkins!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sorry it's a little blurry, but aren't they awesome?<\/p><\/div>\n

The pumpkin artists (and their puppy dog):<\/p>\n

A rare photo where Jacob is smiling, but nobody else is. <\/p><\/div>\n

And a quick recap of Halloween night:<\/p>\n

The big boys were with their mom, so unfortunately I don’t have any pics of all three boys together\u00a0in costume. She did text me individual\u00a0pictures of Jacob and Caleb in their super-scary costumes, but I’m having technical difficulties\u00a0finding<\/span> posting them.<\/p>\n

Sam went trick-or-treating at Lily’s house, our friends Brett and Makala’s house, our friends Dawn and Chris’s house, and our two neighbor’s houses (Reuben and Dina and Adam and Blair). He had a good time, I think. At times he seemed overwhelmed, but he never screamed or cried. And the big kids who came trick-or-treating at our house\u00a0were all really nice and nobody tried to scare him.<\/p>\n

We had a successful Halloween, I think. Next year will be even bigger and better, I’m sure!<\/p>\n

Oh, and just for your viewing amusement…here’s the Halloween night aftermath (and I didn’t get\u00a0him dancing around in circles on camera, bummer)\u00a0– I promise he got NO candy that night! (Pay no attention to the piles of laundry in the background…and yes, I am the great and powerful Oz.)<\/p>\n
