The kids had a lot of fun planning and carving their pumpkins this year. Kyrie has had hers planned out for a few weeks, she needed a pink pumpkin. I had this great plan to paint her whole pumpkin pink and carve out a butterfly for her. The butterfly was carved, the pumpkin was half way painted, then the butterfly collapsed! Chris came to her rescue and used his pumpkin to make her a pink kitty! Our pumpkins were loaded with seeds this year, that is the best part of it all - We love toasted pumpkin seeds! 
Chris's employer held a Halloween party at the roller skating rink for the kids. They had a lot of fun, they loved their first experience on real skates. Kyrie did really good as long as she was holding on to something or was on the carpet. Dusty and Hayden spent a good portion of the first hour on the floor. And ?lucky? Hayden got to spend the second hour in the trailblazer. You'd think that he'd rather be skating, but I guess kicking and screaming and having an awesome meltdown was much funner. Oh the things he misses out on. Just about everytime we do something fun, we find out he can't handle it for some reason.
The meltdowns I was talking about, well he almost didn't make it into these pictures either. He spent a couple hours on the stairs to the basement - kicking and screaming - all because we asked him to pick up a few toys. Maybe I should start taking pictures of these events, because they are what our lives are really filled with! Hayden was finally able to get control of things just in time for pics and trick-or-treating!
There is something about being a girl that can make life a little complicated at times. Choices... sometimes we want them all, and how do we choose just one? The boys decided almost instantly what the wanted to be for Halloween, Spiderman and a Power Ranger. Camden didn't know it, but he wanted to be a frog - just like Dusty and Hayden were at that age. But Kyrie wanted to be everything: a Princess, Tinkerbell, she wanted an Ariel and Minnie Mouse "cos soon", she needed to be a kitty Kyrie like Dora, but she finally decided to be a Cowboy Princess. She chose the crown over her cowgirl hat. So many choices!
Her cowboy princess hair. Several people ask me if she has a hard time sitting still or if she cries when I do her hair. Not this little girl, she tells me how she wants her hair for the day! She will cry if I don't give her the ponytail style of her choice!
Here is part of our trick-or-treating group. We all had fun going door to door, then back to our friends house for homemade chili, yum!
