Snow and Pumpkins - perfect together

Happy Halloween 2010!
What a fun night! After MUCH anticipation tonight was trick-or-treating and Halloween for our family... little Paul tried to explain to me tonight that his un-stellar behavior this morning (and fantastic behavior tonight) was due to being soooo excited for trick or treating (and sad that we couldn't do it in the morning)... hmm...he's either very honest or smarter than we think!
We got the kids treat bags from Pottery Barn Kids- too hard to resist this year since they had ones which matched their costumes. Kaitlyn figured out what to do with it a bit quicker....
Either way, we showed up at Gram and BB's by 4pm ready to trick or treat....and managed to successfully pass the time by having dinner, playing outside and then getting ready by 6pm to head out.
Our ghost and cupcake:
Paul and Kate checking out Gram and BB's candy supply to make sure that they have enough.
Can you tell they're excited?
And they're off!
At the first house:
At the second house Kaitlyn hadn't yet gotten the concept of trick-or-treating and figured why not play with the big rock (don't worry, she figured it out.... "trich tree")
We ended up being out for about 30 minutes, and that seemed to be plenty for our gang (no complaints from those of us starting to get cold!). Then back to the house for a treat.
After a busy night, Paul and BB had an intellectual conversation about the 'new' leantoo at Raquette Lake and how it was built.
Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Now onto celebrating Paul's 4th birthday in 9 days....

Pre-halloween activities and silliness around the house
Last Thursday we went with Gram to the Growing Place's Fall Festival- it was lots of fun for the kids to see all of their friends from "school" in costume. Gram even won the pumpkins that both kid's classrooms decorated for a silent auction.In case you can't tall, Paul is a ghost and Kaitlyn is a cupcake this year!
Although it took a while for Paul to warm up to all the activity, he and his friend Elizabeth, who was a great Dorothy, ended up playing for a bit (after he found the masks to play with at one of the stations).
Paul checking out his "Paul" side of the pumpkin at night:
Kaitlyn checking out her side of the pumpkin:
The other day the kids somehow got a hold of their goggles and decided to wear them around the house for a while!
My favorite part of this pictures may actually be the beautiful fall trees outside our front window.

Halloween 2009
Trick or Treat! We headed to Gram and BB's neighborhood for Trick-or-Treating, since as little Paul noted on the way home, there aren't any street lights on our road (or sidewalks).
Kaitlyn came with us in her stroller and Paul got braver at each house- by the end he asked to visit a few more and would ring the doorbell by himself. He certainly knew that candy would be available if he said 'trick or treat'. Our pictures may be better for the blooper real, though.
Paul more excited about the earphones in the garage than trick or treating- these were added to his costume for part of the night:
"Mommy, Kaitlyn hit my nose"
"Are we really taking another picture... really"
Headed to the first house. Note the clouds in the background... I got an extra jog in running back for an umbrella after 15 minutes.
The best part of the night may have been BB trying to decide if our presence at their house resembles more of a tornado or a drive by... albeit a happy one, but a bit louder and busier than normal, especially since Kaitlyn is quiet and quick-moving these days!

Wrap up of the week...
Sorry for the delay in posts- it was a busy week in our house.
Kaitlyn really wanted to try and use the camera in this picture:
"Mommy, Kaitlyn's crawling towards the newspaper basket again. I'll move it!":
How tall is BB?
How tall is daddy?
Playing football with Uncle Ryan and Lauren when they were visiting last Sunday:
Kaitlyn and her Uncle Ry hanging out (the Eli jersey somehow was put on while Lauren and I were out shopping...hmmm....)
Look mom- I got myself up!
And, I'm even in the same outfit (this picture was taken prior to 7am... ;)

Halloween- take 1
Tonight was the Fall Fest party for Paul and Kaitlyn's daycare- what a fun way to finish the day! It was a beautiful day for a walk across camps from the Growing Place to the 'big party' as Paul described it.
In case you can't tell, Kaitlyn is a strawberry this year
and Paul is a "worker"- the slow/stop sign that is used to direct traffic at a construction zone. 
There were tons of fun games for the kids- Paul spent a lot of the time with the play doh but also made a pumpkin face.
And this may be my favorite picture from the night- as you can see, Kaitlyn is "active" ... poor Gram got the bad end of this deal :) and i was laughing while taking the picture:
