"Cute gets more candy than scary."
-Ashlyn
The kids had a day off this week for teacher parent conferences so Mommy took the opportunity to take them to play Laser Tag. Because, you know, why not? It turns out they were the only ones there for Laser Tag so they got the whole arena to themselves. There were lots of blurry phone pictures of the kids running and laughing through the arena, but Mommy was able to grab a few good ones along the way too.
We didn’t end up carving a big pumpkin this year. Instead, the kids decorated the smaller pumpkins we got from the farm a few weekends back. It made for a well decorated porch.
Halloween finally arrived and Grandma came over to paint Ashlyn’s face. This year the kids decided to go as a deer, monkey, and panda in the hopes that being cute would result in more candy. Whether it was the cuteness or the rain that prevented a lot of the normal kids from going out, the bags were full as houses tried to get rid of all the candy they bought expecting a larger turnout.
We also celebrated one more birthday this weekend, Cousin Ben turned 6! Happy birthday Ben, we enjoyed playing with you on Sunday!
