Trick or Treat

Here are some Halloween (and preparation for Halloween) pics. A couple things to note... there is one picture from pumpkin carving night of Joel crying and Mitchell working on gutting his pumpkin, the look on Joel's face was his reaction every time he even LOOKED inside the pumpkin... he didn't even try touching it! He was scared of the "guts" of the pumpkin. However, he loved them when they were all done, cleaned up, and lit up. Also, Joel is a surgeon for Halloween (which I didn't think was a very fun or cute costume for a 2 year old), because he didn't want anything to do with any costumes. In fact, I brought a couple home that were much cuter, but I should have known it wasn't going to work out when he didn't allow them to even be next to him in the cart when we bought them. So, I put the scrubs of his costume on him when he got dressed on Halloween, so he just though they were his clothes for the day, and he finally allowed us to put the hat and stethescope on him after we bribed him with candy (good parenting technique in a pinch :)

It was Joel's first time trick or treating. He went with dad, Grant, Nora (the little girl across the street), and her parents. He did really well, but never stopped wanting to go inside of each and every house we went to. I suppose he didn't understand why we were knocking on all these doors and then leaving right away... Mitchell did his own thing for the first time this year. Him and 2 other friends went around the neighborhood and then ended up at a Halloween party a friend of his was having a couple blocks away. It was a fun one for him too.
