Halloween Happiness

Our little pumpkins! They really enjoyed carving pumpkins this year. The first year we did it with Derek, it was a mess and he cried the whole time! This time: no tears and three marvelous pumpkins!


Derek was Darth Vader. His buddy was a Clone Trooper, so they were so very excited to trick-or-treat together. He had a blast and is still tired from staying up so late and the blessed time change.



Tucker was a blue Power Ranger and Zane was a basketball player. I wanted to make them really cute costumes, but there wasn't time and I have been consumed by my house! Zane was really very happy as a basketball player anyway.



Zane's first trick-or-treat house. Tucker showed him the ropes. Derek was at a party with some friends, so Tucker and Zane went around the cul-de-sac before Zane turned in and then Tucker went again with Derek and their friends after they got back from the party. Needless to say, Tucker's bucket got mighty full!



Derek and Tucker had to "sort" their candy. That was always so fun! Tucker gave Andy all the ones he didn't like. His favorites are the Reeses and the Tootsie Rolls. Derek likes the nerds and all the gummy things that are shaped like body parts. He even got a long finger-looking sucker.


Zane looks older here. His favorite kind are the suckers. He rarely finishes them, so I wrap them back up until the next time. We are going to find out how many licks Zane can take on the tootsie pop before getting to the center. He doesn't know that there is chocolate patiently waiting for him there!

Your boys have grown so much! I hope life is treating you well. Did you know that Leslie's little boy broke his femur and has to spend 12 weeks in a FULL body cast?
