Halloween-ie


I am a bit over due with posting but better late than never! We look forward to Halloween every year but unfortunately, I got sick with the flu a few days before. The day before Halloween, I felt good enough to attend my parents "Truck Or Treat" at their church parking lot. It's the same concept of going door to door trick or treating but there, we went car to car. Afterwards, there were hot dogs and hot chocolate, and a costume and pumpkin contest. My parents decorated were retired tourists. It was pretty funny. It was a good way to spend Halloween Eve :)

On Halloween, the flu finally caught up with Chris so he was not able to take the kids trick or treating. It was raining pretty hard so I took Landon with a huge beach umbrella and Carter stayed inside with Uncle Travis. Landon went trick or treating for about 15 minutes because it was just too cold and he didn't like that. That was okay with me-better luck next year! At least we got to see our cute kids in their cute costumes. Incase you didn't notice, Landon was a knight and Carter was a "dragon." It was actually a dinosaur costume but close enough :)

Pumpkin Carving!

This year, each of the great grandkids got a special home grown pumpkin from their Pa Pa Red Truck. Landon and Carter went and picked up the pumpkins (out of the snow!) and then later that night, Grandma Wagner had a pumpkin carving party. Landon, Carter, and Evie got to decorate their pumpkins with cute little faces. Chris was sick with the flu so I observed and made sure the donuts and apple cider tasted okay ;) Landon slept through the party but woke up just in time to see the pumpkins all done. Of course he got a goody bag from Grandma too!
