3 little pumpkins @ Halloween

Halloween Mania is over, but it is one of my favorite holidays, which is why I uploaded about 40 pictures!  We've got quite a halloween tradition going.  It involves a trip to the Louisville Zoo's Halloween party, pumpkin carving on the front porch, and a 10+ year chili dinner/trick or treating/scary movie Halloween night!  Only since the arrival of kids, the scary movie has gone from scary/goofy horror flick to Mickey's villians or the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.  

Anyway, so I'll just clip on the pictures and narrate as needed! 

Halloween at the Zoo...Vincent is a puppy, although since he refuses any head clothing (aka hats) he would not to keep on his ears for more than 2 seconds.

That's a giant lego..you know we had to get our picture on that!


Barrel of monkey's indeed

It's nearly impossible to get 3 kids looking at the camera...wait till #4 arrives.

Isabella and Snow White

Can we take this home?

Great picture of Zach and the Harry Potter crew.

Popcorn anyone?

Here are the boyscouts..wolf and tigers I think.  Since Kyle is the leader, it was our job to throw the party.  We did a pretty good job, but I think we can improve on it next year.  It was my job to come up with the games to play so I did an internet search and came up with several games that sounded fun.  Main lesson learned:  Don't dismiss a warning that suggests that the game may cause some children to vomit.  One of the poor boy scouts spent nearly 5 minutes at the trash can after the food relay.


Pumpkin Carving!

Vincents standard pumpkin, Isabella's dog faced pumpkin, and Zachary's toothy guy




Halloween night...chili dinner and strawberries.

Do we have to sit for this picture?

Headed down the street to trick or treat.  It was absolutely perfect weather!

Trick or treat!

On the move...there will be no holding hands.

It must be Halloween...


This is the Happy Halloween entry...one of my most favorite holidays!!  Halloween fell on a school night this year, which meant early trick-or-treating.  We hit up 3 streets this year, one more than last.  Zachary was dressed as a ninja, Isa switched to a princess cat at the last minute, and Vin was a gator.


The kids got a boat load of candy.  Halloween got started 2 weeks early with a Boo that was left on our front door from a school family.  One of the SSM traditions is to leave a pumpkin of candy on someone's front porch, then you have to fill up two additional pumpkins and pass them along.  It's a bit of work, but the kids love the sneakiness of dropping off the Boo on someone's porch.  Then we got a pumpkin from Uncle Jed and Miss Katie!  The kids were super surprised and excited to come home and find more candy! :)
Zachary was really into trick or treating this year!  He had a blast running from house to house.





                                            Vincent was telling me about a dog he saw!

                    Zachary was checking out the smoke while carrying his and Vin's treats!


                                    Watch out Dad...a gator's got ya!
                                                    Happy Halloween!

                                                  That gator's sneakin' up the stairs!
