Halloween

We carved pumpkins the night before Halloween. Daniel wasn't convinced he wanted to put his hands in the pumpkin, but Abby talked him into it.

Will and I did the carving/scraping.

Daniel's pumpkin had his special letter "D." And Abby's pumpkin was a vampire. She painted on lots of blood after Will finished carving it for her.

Our friend Carlene made Abby's costume again this year. Abby chose Medusa.

Carlene's new puppy LOVES Abby and quickly tackled her and kissed her!

Daniel and his friend Elly had fun trick or treating at their school.

Daniel really wanted to be an egg carton for Halloween, but I simply could not figure out how to make an egg carton costume (and I really did try and try). Luckily, I was able to talk him into being an egg. He made a fantastic Egg Man! Everyone who knows Daniel, thought the costume was perfect because the boy is slightly obsessed with eggs and egg boxes.

Grandma and Grandpa Engelhardt joined us for the festivities.

Abby went trick or treating with her friends Isabel and Olivia. We thought the sisters' costumes were rather clever -- the devil and an angel.
