Getting ready for Halloween

Sometimes I wonder which is more exciting for my kids - Halloween or Christmas. With the frenzied excitement of candy, candy, candy and costumes and pumpkin carving and decorating the house with spooky spider things, it's a close call. This year, we even bought a big fake spider, even though we have plenty of real spiders all year long...



And the real thing, right around the corner...



Last night was cub scouts and activity girls. Since both were short a leader, Brent and I got to fill in, which meant Allison got to participate in pumpkin decorating. She was VERY happy about that turn of events...



Sarah made a witch pumpkin. I'm not sure who has the scarier face...



When it was all over, they were happy with their pumpkins and had lots of fun.
