Halloween and Painting!

Julie painted her pumpkin a few days before Halloween, didn't quite get into it at first, but got the hang of it later on. 

We are not big pumpkin carvers, but next year we will have to for sure do the pumpkin carving.

 Julie's first Halloween was a success, she had a great time! Rob's brother and sister in law and their little son came over around 5:30, and we made homemade pizza, and then went trick or treating. We got a lot of kids at our house and I felt bad when we headed out and turned all our lights out so no one came to our door. I am sure we missed a lot of trick or treaters, but we sure had fun taking Julie out together with her little cousin Matthew and his parents. Julie caught on pretty fast and by the 4th house or so, started saying "Trick or Treat", she would say it over and over in between houses, but when we got up to the door, she never would say it. Although, we did get her to say "Thank You" after getting a treat. It was so funny. We just went around our small little block and it was just perfect, it was cold but not freezing cold. And it didn't rain until later. We will definitely have to order pizza or something next year and go trick or treating first at around 5:30, we started after dinner at about 7:45, and didn't finish until around 8:30, and then after Mike and Heidi left, we made a quick trip to my parents house. So, it ended up being a little late, especially for little ones. But, in all it was a great night. Here are some pictures, we were trying to find a Winnie the Pooh costume for Julie, but we procrastinated and also didn't want to spend 30 bucks on a costume, so we just used a costume from my parents that I wore when I was that age. She was a little witch. I will have to find the picture of me when I was that age and scan it in. Here she is. She is doing her cheeser smile, and don't you just love our Christmas decoration on the door that has been up all year long.

What a great night!
