Pre-Halloween Fun

After church/naps, we decided to have a little Pre-Halloween fun.  The kids got to wear their costumes around and carve the pumpkin with Daddy.  Cade loved using the "tools" to carve the pumpkin, and INSISTED on a pumpkin with triangles like "the others" (referring to all the decorative pumpkins around the house).  Charles was ALL on board with that as he knew that would be MUCH easier!  Caelin on the other hand was not phased by the pumpkin.  In fact she thought it was gross and grunted when we held the "guts" near her (pic below).
After our pumpkin carving, I thought we would try out the costumes and play a bit.  They both loved this and Cade continued to show us how he transforms as Megatron (the costume is actually Optimus Prime from the Transformers, but Cade insists it is Megatron).  He also continues to let us know Caelin wants to be a Dinosaur for Halloween.  I think this is his way of getting the best of both worlds.  Smart boy.
Caelin will be a little lady bug for Halloween and doesn't seem to mind the costume too much.  She refused to put her black tights on...so we have a few diaper shots for now.  Once she got her costume on, she was very proud and kept running up and down the sidewalk.  She is the cutest "bug" I have ever seen!
