Halloween

We went trick-or-treating with both monsters this year. Last year, Drew stayed home with mom to hand out candy, but this year, everyone was interested. Drew was a fireman and Cailin was a Lion - shocker. So, we were invited to trick-or-treat with Christopher and Uncle Dan, so we had dinner, loaded up and headed over to their place to visit and trick or treat. It was a bit chilly, but only when the wind was blowing, (which was kind of strong when it did) but otherwise kiddos stayed fairly warm. No snowsuits needed this year!

Cailin wasn't so sure at first, but then would say "on to the next house right mommy?" So she got the hang of it. We brought the stroller, but that was only good to carry 'stuff', no kiddos. So mommy carried one kiddo between houses and daddy carried the other one. Drew was sort of overwhelmed by it all - he was quiet and still, watching everything!

They both made quite a haul and had fun too!! Then when we came home, Cailin wanted to go across the street and see her friends, Caleb and Dawson for a quick 'hello' and a trick-or-treat there. Busy night!

Carving the Pumpkins

We made our pre-Halloween trip to Chanhassen to carve up some pumpkins with the Lechelts. The kids had a blast, although I don't know if either of them actually touched a pumpkin or not. Drew likes to look at the pumpkin and say "ball", then we say "no, it's a pumpkin". This goes on several times, then he laughs and then says 'pumpkin'. Or some version of it. Cailin was happy to play with Milo, play the piano and everything else in the house, but would come over to check in every once in a while. The Lechelts have a bunch of fun toys in the basement, so Cailin and Drew LOVE to go down there to play as well.

Daddy even made a Lion Bear pumpkin for Cailin - not that she's spoiled at all. Well, needless to say, that was her favorite.
