Halloween and Pumpkins 2016

Dear Leah and Logan,


The Halloween season arrived and left in a hurry, but, as always, we had a great time. Plus, it was October and the Summer weather never really left. It's still 80 degrees!!

We hosted our annual 'Pumpkin and Pizza Party', and this year it got bigger and better.

Attending this year were the McCartys (Ian, Tiffany, and Cadence), the Fontanettas (Tony, Jody, AJ, and Aria), and the Grahams (Greg, Kim, Ellerie, and Fletcher).

You kids actually did more scooping of pumpkin guts than you did carving. After 15 minutes of scooping, you kids were done with pumpkins and on to making the house into a giant playroom. The adults made the best of it, though, and got some good inner child time in as we chatted and did the carving.

We went costume shopping at Sprit Halloween, and neither of you wanted to leave because the place
was decorated like a creepy Haunted House. A Sparkly Witch and a Donkey Kong. Both costumes were perfect and matched your personalities- especially the fact that Logan has played 1,200 hours of Donkey Kong Country Returns in the last 2 months.

Then came Halloween. October 31 came on a Monday this year, so we started ramping up as soon as
we got home from school.  After the costumes were on, we did a quick trip to Sonic to get us fueled up for the walking....Then it began.  I had every intention of going to 3 neighborhoods, but you guys hit Blackman Farms so hard, we didn't need to! Mommy met us there after she got off work. You guys were champs, and you made out like burglars with sooooooooooooooo much candy!! 


We tried to save Grandma some Whoppers, but Logan ended up liking them and ate every one in site.


You guys make parenting so much fun, and I look forward to the fun costumes you'll choose next year.
By the way, as the night went on, you guys got tired of wearing and carrying your costumes. So guess who ended up carrying them? (see below)

Love,

Daddy
