Halloween 2013

Happy Halloween 2013
 Our traditional carving took place two nights before Halloween.  In the South, pumpkins tend to go south once they have been carved due to the rampant heat that sometimes lingers this time of year.  We carved and carved only for Colin to come as the pumpkin seeds were coming out of the oven - he paused and then asked, "Did you really carve the pumpkins without me???"  Oh dear.  
Back to the store I went to get C his very own pumpkin which, by the way, has still yet to feel the prick of a knife.  P, however, was very pleased with how his turned out! (For the record, C was doing school work and has selective hearing at times)
 Halloween morning began with the annual Boo Basket surprises, a few treats for everyone.
 And then it was photo time....our beautiful peacock....
 and our exquisite Aerial....
 and an original MindCraft Creeper
This guy was an original creation designed by P and handcrafted by Ry along with P's assistance....
With photos well behind us, it was time to set off for some good ole' candy loot....
 Trick or Treat.....
 Our sweet neighbor, Ann.  She always has such fun costumes on and never forgets to bring us sweet treats for special occasions!  
 A photo outtake....MK can be so photogenic.  And then there are the silly moments.
 Peacock radiance
 The great candy swap
Halloween 2013 proved to bring in a change for our family.....no C dressing up and dashing from house to house with us.  Instead, he made his way over to a friend's house where they all did a last minute costuming and hit the neighborhood together....
