Happy Halloween!

I took this picture one week ago on a beautiful afternoon.  We were out enjoying the weather when I decided on a whim that it would be fun to get a good picture of the kids in their costumes.  So I quickly put their costumes together and this was our finished product.
 Later the same evening, we decided to carve one of our pumpkins.





 The kids had a great time trick-or treating this evening.  The weather even stayed relatively mild,  We went to a few neighbor places (couldn't forget Grandpa and Grandma's house!) and then headed into Kensington for a little while.  My favorite thing about Halloween evening in Kensington is the Fire Department.  The volunteers open their hall and serve hot apple cider and taco salad in a bag along with handing out candy.  It's so nice to not worry about getting the kids fed a meal before we head out.  We just sit and take a nice break and eat in the warm fire hall.  Small-town living at its best!
Daddy got to visit Dane's classroom last week.  They made "Humbug Witch" together.

Great idea to get a costume picture ahead of time. It turned out great!
