Trick or Treating

On Monday October 31st, we got Matthew into his costume and went out to find some candy.

Going across the street to Dennis and Janice's.

Up the steps.

Demonstrating proper trick or treating protocol.

Trying to go inside. Apparently he has completely forgotten the lessons we learned last year.

Down the steps and off to the next house.

Showing off the booty.

Getting into Godzilla while enjoying a piece of candy.

Snuggling with Daddy and winding down with Gozilla. He took his pointy Gozilla's to bed with him.

Pumpkin Carving 2011

Ok, I realize it has been a few weeks since I posted and that this post is way past due but the Wednesday after we returned from Colleen's I came down with a nasty cold that totally sapped all my energy. Truly, I was so tired that the thought of doing a blog post almost made me cry. So a couple weeks late, here is the pumpkin carving (with Trick or Treating to follow).

This year Matthew got to dig some of the pumpkin guts out by himself.

A BIG scoop of gloop.

Digging goop out of pumpkins gets old fast so I snapped a couple close ups of M on the slide.

At the end, Matthew insisted I take a picture of him sitting on the big rock.

The final product. This year we only have two carved master pieces because my pumpkin became ill and rotted into a pile of mush while we were in Edmonton. So: Aaron's is on the left and is Cartman from South Park and Matthew's is on the right and turned out to be a vampire kitty.
