Halloween

Yes, it is the last day in November and I am just posting Halloween. What can I say....time just goes too fast. Surprisingly enough Halloween was so much fun this year. (It ranks low on my favorite holiday list. Kind of right at the bottom with Valentine's Day...) Calvin went from wanting to be a ghost, to a Air Force guy, to Batman, to a ghost again, and finally settled on a knight! Whew! I think it had something to do with him being able to have a sword. Just a guess though. So what better than to have a knight without a drooling dragon to fight off! Our friend Mary did the kids photos and they turned out so cute!

Our brave knight!

 Our fierce dragon!

We were able to carve pumpkins with our neighbors for the 2nd year in a row. I made pumpkin seeds, which Calvin remembered from the year before, while Daddy carved two awesome super hero pumpkins. Batman was Caden's and Calvin selected Spider Man. This being Caden's first Halloween, we put his hand in the pumpkin goo and he wasn't timid at all. He of course tried putting it in his mouth right away but what else did we expect.

 

 

 

On Halloween night, the whole Bewley family went trick or treating at Troy and Alison's. Calvin was really excited and practiced how to say "trick or treat" because Jake and the Neverland Pirates say "trick or treasure" so we had to tell him what knights say. Calvin made us look in his bowl after every house we went to and was thrilled when we went to a house that had a safe treat! Caden the dragon was very content sitting in his stroller letting Papa push him along while he watched everything that was going on.

 



This is what our pumpkin looked like Halloween night. Guess you aren't supposed to carve it 3 days in advance! So gross!!

 

Bryon and I went to his boss' Halloween party the weekend before. We had a great time. Some people even thought Bryon was a real firefighter. We thought of a great plan for when we showed up because of the rivalry between fire and police. According to the police, fire does not show up on scene until it is safe and secure. So when we went to the party I banged on the front door and when they answered I asked it if was "safe" while Bryon waited around the corner (just like the fire dept. does). Once his boss said it was safe, Bryon came around the corner right when their fog machine went off. Between the fog and the black light it was quite the sight! If only there was slow motion music playing in the background.

 

 

Happy Halloween!
