Halloween-y weekend

I cannot beleive it tomorrow is Halloween!  It seems like we were just swimming in the 100 degree heat yesterday.  Where does the time go? 
Friday after school, the girls got to go trick or treating at Terracon.  It is a highly anticipated event every Halloween. 


Ellie didn't get to go trick or treating, but she still got dressed up.


We decided to take the girls to the mall for trick or treating afterwards, which resulted in quite a bit of candy!


In true fall spirit, we got the girls outside to play in (rake) the leaves up yesterday.  They loved every minute of it. 



And, if the weekend wasn't exciting enough already, the girls got to sleep over at Mamaw & Papaw's house last night.  They were so excited and were counting down the minutes till they could leave all day yesterday. 
Even though we didn't have the kids with us, Mike and I decided we still wanted to go see the pumpin lighting at Village Point.  Guess who we saw there?
The lighting was pretty neat.  The pumpkins all looked great. 


No witches noses out of stems or anything, but still good.  :) 


The kids really seemed to like it too.

Pumpkin Carving

After school yesterday, the girls and I carved our jack o lanterns.  To my surprise, they carved and cleaned out their pumpkins all on their own!  I just got to sit and watch.
 


Lovely!  The pumpkins turned out super cute.


 Sydney carved a traditional jack o lantern face with vampire teeth.  Her very own design. 


Briana made a singing face on her pumpkin.  Partly because she is being Taylor Swift for Halloween, and partly because she signed up for the school choir yesterday!


See?  There they both are singing a tune.


I made my pumpkin into a mean looking face with a big, long nose.  Possibly my best pumpkin ever. 


Don't they look great?  Unfortunately, Mike had to work late and couldn't carve his pumpkin yet.  I'm sure he'll come up with something good though. 


Happy Halloween!
