The Great Pumpkin

So I stressed for weeks about whether to take A out for Halloween. I definitely felt pulled in both directions. On one hand, growing up, we started trick or treating but then later stopped and did other things with church to celebrate Reformation Day instead. K has no issues with it and thinks it's just a fun time. So in the end, I did take her out to a few houses. We went with friends who were taking their boys and Auntie J.

 We got a pumpkin from Grandpa W that K had lots of fun deciding how to make it geeky... we debated putting the Pi symbol on it. And if you get that, you're a geek too!

Instead he went for the storm trooper from Star Wars. Did an awesome job of it too! Though he was disappointed with how few Trick or Treaters were out and how few got to see it....

 It was a bit on the chilly side and the wind picked up while we were out so we only went to maybe 10 houses. "A" had lots of smiles for everyone. :) Except the camera it would seem.

 Aunty J found the costume at a garage sale this past summer and bought it for A for Halloween.

The Great Pumpkin hanging out with Daddy. Definitely needed the black hat when we were outside. That little bit of orange fabric would have done nothing to keep her head warm!
