Halloween 2009

Our house is now flu free.  Eriks will return to school tomorrow (thank goodness!) and there will be peace once more in this currently chaotic house.

Both kids went trick-or-treating last night in the very cool, drizzly weather.  I had hoped for a much better All Hallow's Eve but at least it wasn't pouring.  It still would've been better if the kids had been out in 58-60 degree weather.

We carved our pumpkins yesterday morning.  Why?  Because we procrastinated.  With the sickness we didn't even buy them until yesterday morning.  But I think we got our pumpkins pretty cheap waiting until last minute.  So I took a picture of the inside after I had taken the top off and a picture of the finished products.  I wish I had been able to get a photo of work in progress but the kids were...well...kids and both were causing trouble.

Lane only took the kids around the block while I stayed home and passed out candy.  We had tons of candy here at the house and they were both content.  I know Emilija didn't really understand what was going on but she sure did love her costume.  I'm sure next year as she approaches age 3, she'll be more into it.  Eriks was almost 3 before he really began to enjoy it.

And this last photo is for my mom.  She & my dad sent the kids Halloween goody packages and Eriks absolutely loved this funny sucker.  So we snapped a few photos of him being silly with it.
