Halloween 2009

Halloween just gets more fun each year as our kids get older and get more into it. We had 2 Thomas the Trains this year because our kids are train crazy!

Matthew with his pumpkin. I wasn't feeling all that great the week before Halloween so we didn't get out to get pumpkins until Halloween day and all of the stores were sold out! Luckily our neighbors had grown some and gave one to Matthew. It was pretty small and hard to carve but Matthew enjoyed watching me do it!


He was very spooky according to Matthew.
It has also been hilarious to see the boys with their candy. Brayden is very protective of his. On Halloween his bucket was pretty full but he wouldn't let anyone help him carry it, he wasn't letting it out of his sight!
When we get out the candy Matthew very carefully picks out 4 pieces (that is his favorite number, everything has to be done in 4s. Like when we are at the park I can't say, "2 more minutes and then we need to go" it has to be 4 minutes!). Then he unwraps each piece and slowly eats each one. Brayden on the other hand can't get the candy in his mouth fast enough. He doesn't always finish each piece because he is so excited to get another one in his mouth! It is too funny to see their very different personalities. It makes me very curious to see what number 3 will be like!

Branden was Thomas, too! He has actually been Thomas for the past three years, but actually decided to wear his costume this year! So fun!
