Halloween Night

We spent Halloween night at our house. Papa Bart, Gigi, Aunt Anna, Beema, Papa Joe, Aunt Amanda, and the Childers' all joined us for trick or treating and dinner. It was so much fun watching Owen and Charley in their costumes going from house to house collecting candy! We only made it to about 8 houses, but the kids had fun and were ready to get out of their costumes.

Mommy and Owen waiting on trick or treaters...

Owen did great handing out candy to all the trick or treaters..... but after the first rush of kids, Owen decided he needed to sit down and go through the candy bucket himself! This was Owen's first Halloween to be into all the candy... and we thought we had planned ahead well enough to allow him to eat candy and stay within his restricted fat intake. Little did we know that he would think that Reece's Peanut Butter Cup looked the best!! Lesson Learned: Only purchase candy that Owen can eat!

Owen and Charley excited to see each other...

About half way through trick or treating, Owen decided to sit down and throw a fit! Ha! He finally decided to get up and finish the journey hand in hand with Charley.

Halloween Carnival

We attended the Circle of Friends Halloween Carnival the week of Halloween. It was a fundraiser benefiting Arkansas Children's Hospital with tons of activities for children of all ages. This was our first year to attend, but Owen had so much fun that we'll definitely be going back!

cool dude...

Owen the "football player" and Mommy the "cheerleader"

Bobbing for ducks...

We spent most of the night with Charley....Owen wanted to do whatever Charley was doing. She got her face painted and Owen jumped up in the chair right after her and got his hand painted. Charley got her hair sprayed red and purple so Owen thought he needed to do the same thing...so we had the girl pretend to spray Owen's as well. These two were inseparable for most of the night!

Trick or Treat

We kicked off Halloween with Trick or Treat on the square Friday afternoon. This was Owen's first year to really participate in all the trick or treating.... and he jumped right in!

Owen knew exactly what to do....he walked right up to the lady and held up his bucket like he had done it a million times before...we were shocked!

At first....he didn't realize you could eat the candy. It was like he thought it was a toy or something...

Owen and Judd

And then...he saw Charley eating all her candy and realized he could eat his candy too!

Mackenzie was all dressed up but decided to nap during all the trick or treating...

And after all the sugar kicked in, Owen was a wild man...

We let the kids run off their extra energy at the shop....

Pumpkin Carving

This years pumpkin carving was eventful! Owen wasn't really a fanof cleaning out the pumkins, but LOVED painting his pumkin.I think we may have an artist on our hands!! Ha!

Owen was not a big fan of touching the pumpkin guts....he's facial expression was priceless!

He didn't like the guts, but he really liked using

the pumpkin carving tools

After cleaning out the big pumpkins, we let Owen paint his pumpkin. This was definitely Owen's favorite part of the night. He was an artist at work with a mission to paint every inch of his pumpkin as well as his legs and toes! Lets just say that we went straight to the bathtub once he finished his masterpiece!

Moving on to his leg and toes...

"look at my artwork"

The finished products....

"wow"
