Trick-or-Treat

TRICK-OR-TREAT!

We had so many parties to go to on base but Gavin has been sick for the last 2 days with a fever but he was getting over it. Halloween Day Aeris started getting a fever...but we drugged the kids up with Ibuprofen and went trick or treating anyway. It wasn't too cold outside (last year was a lot colder) but considering I have 2 heaters in my belly maybe I shouldn't be the one to talk about temperature:)

We went to the Chapel on base where there were crafts, games, hot dogs, and drinks. Aeris saw a lot of her friends there. Everyone kept saying, "Oh your costume is sooo creative, or thats a funny costume." Most people didnt know that the pregnant belly was real.

There were so many people out trick-or-treating that there weren't too many people giving out candy...but don't worry, the kids still got plenty of candy. Gavin would say trick-or-treat and they would give him candy and then he would keep looking in the bucket and try to grab more candy. Aeris kept singing trick-or-treat smell my feat, give me somthing good to eat...etc. She also loved looking at all the costumes.

We finished around 7:15 and then we put both kids in the bath and started the normal bed time routine (books, apple, song, tuck in).

Pumpkins

We decided to carve the pumpkins inside because it was so cold and dark outside. We has so much fun. Aeris and I made a traditional pumpkin with the triangle eyes nose and big mouth with teeth and Jory and Gavin made a Vampire pumpkin.
Jory also got this tool thing that hooks up to the electric drill that cleans out the pumpkin (what a time saver) but Aeris kept calling it a wand and wanted to play with it.

Later I also cooked the pumpkin seeds. They were delicious and the kids loved them!

Happy Halloween
Aeris is going to be the cutest little witch this year and Gavin is going to be Spiderman but he wont wear the Spiderman mask.

We attended a church Halloween Party, where we ate a baked potato bar and salad. Then the kids played games and went trick or treating from door to door inside the church. There was also a Halloween Party on post. Aeris and Gavin had sooo much fun. The played games and of course at lots and lots of candy!

Aeris can't wait for Halloween night. Gavin doesnt really know what's going on but he does love to eat the candy, especially suckers
