We had a great Halloween this year - though we were all sick the week of Halloween I was really happy that we were vomit-free by the time Halloween rolled around on Saturday. Kira was the first one to get sick from daycare Monday night. The virus spread like wild fire after that...Mike got sick, then Jonah, then Jake, then me, then my mom, and then my sister. But thankfully the virus was pretty short-lived.
Friday night, the boys school had their annual Harvest Festival where the kids can go play games and get together in their costumes. I worked at the popcorn station for half the time so I really didn't get to do much with the kids. However I did entered into the pumpkin carving contest and I won $10! I felt really bad afterwards because a little girl was crying since she didn't win.
Our neighbor was nice enough to invite us over for her Halloween party. There were lots of people and some of them in crazy costumes. We kind of wanted to be home to hand candy out to the trick-or-treaters, but Mike's dad and my sister volunteered to do that for us. Kira came home early from the party because she was just too tired...but she LOVED handing candy out. Everytime the doorbell would ring, she'd run to the door and pick out a specific candy bar for the trick-or-treater and said "happy halloween" to them as they leave. She had a great time.
Gutting the pumpkins. It took awhile for me to convince Kira that it was OK to get her hands dirty to dig the seeds out of her pumpkin.
