Let me start by saying that I am exhausted and more than a little happy that Halloween is finally over. It was fun, but seemed to drag on forever. It all started 3 weeks ago when Harley and her preschool friends attended a Fall Festival in Rockville, MD. (not pictured) Last week all the kids went to a super fun Halloween party at a friends house. Yes, Nash is shooting icing directly into his mouth, completely bypassing the cupcake.
The next day our neighborhood had their costume parade. By the way, Harley insisted on being Minnie Mouse, Nash a Jawa from Star Wars and Atley a fly.
Pumpkin carving came as it always does the Monday before Halloween.
These little chocolate pies are one of my kids favorite treats because they can make them all by themselves with the mini-premade pie crusts, a box of chocolate pudding and whipped cream.
The next day we had a Trunk or Treat activity at our church.
Wednesday was Harley's preschool party at our house. Unfortunately, I didn't snap any pictures because I was too busy teaching but after school Harley taught the boys to play some of the games like Don't Eat Pete and Pumpkin Bowling.
As most activities in our house, even Pumpkin Bowling ended in a wrestling match. I love the picture of Harley above when I caught her sneaking even more candy.
Thursday Halloween finally arrived. Nash had a Halloween parade at his school, that I watched with Harley and Atley's class. In the afternoon Atley and Nash both had class parties and of course Harley was right in the middle of it all. Halloween evening we had some neighborhood families over for dinner. I served soup, bread, cider and some other fun things pictured below. You will also notice that Harley tired of her Minnie Mouse costume and opted for a cowgirl costume instead.
Finally, ready for Trick or Treating!

I must know... did he find out what raw pumpkin tastes like? What a busy week! I love how your carving turned out.
