This year I decided to be well prepared and get the kids their costumes early. So at the beginning of the month the kids chose to be the Grim Reaper and Ariel. A few days before Halloween we got to carving our pumpkins. I didn't want them to rot before Halloween...but the did anyway. Hailey was a little apprehensive about getting all the pumpkin guts on her hands but I talked her into it. Once she got into the swing of it she was a pumpkin gut removing machine! Alec dove right in and started with a spoon getting the seeds out. He quickly decided that his hands were a much easier tool to use.

The night of Halloween the kids got all dressed up to go out trick or treating. We went out with our friend Colleen and her two daughters. The kids loved cruising around the neighborhood getting candy. Alec was a little frustrated by the slow pace of the youngest trick or treator in our group but he tried to hide it well enough. After Colleen's girls got tired we set out on our own to trick or treat at quicker pace. The kids made off with a ton of candy. On top of what they collected we still had a bunch left over since we didn't get a lot of kids that stopped at our house for candy. I'm pretty sure we have enough candy to last us until next Halloween!

It was definitely another successful Halloween for the Border family!
