Kids and Halloween equals a hundred times more fun. Actually
kids and any holiday equals a hundred times more fun! This year has been a bit
busier than normal and I wasn't quite in the mood for Halloween. But we had one
gorgeous afternoon pop up out of nowhere, so Cait and I decorated our front
porch for the Holiday and then had a little picnic
lunch. Later that day when the girls came home from school we got the house all
decked out. I have so much fun decorating for Halloween...it can be as tacky as
you'd like and it's still cool. Right?? At least that's my opinion!
Anyway, earlier in October Ben took the girls to the store to buy their Halloween Pumpkins. We have a little tradition in our house where we like to let them design their own pumpkins 100%! It's not about pinterest, or how fancy other people do their pumpkins, it's about expressing our creativity! So the girls picked the biggest pumpkins they could and waited for the big carving day! Well...it finally came! Just barely in time. The girls got in on everything...from drawing their designs to scraping the insides out. Even Cait gave it a try!

In the end, even though I wasn't all that excited at first
for the work of a Holiday like Halloween, I was happy we
followed through on our traditions. It
seems like lots of work upfront, but the payout is so worth it! And really,
Halloween is one of my favourite Holidays! How could I not make it awesome?
