Halloween Night

Phew- the last Halloween post for this year! We had a perfect All Hallow's Eve! I made our traditional dinner in a pumpkin with orange jell-o, cooked carrots, and rolls. After dinner all we had to do was slip on the girls' dresses and we were ready for trick-or-treating. We snapped a few pictures in our front yard... and even managed to get one with Caitlyn smiling.
Part way through our route we found the train stop so the girls took a ride to rest their feet. A big thanks to the Hulet's for sharing their train with the whole neighborhood- we all LOVE it!
And then it was on to more trick-or-treating. Madisen really caught the spirit of running from house to house, knocking, getting the candy, thanking the people, and running to the next house. Caitlyn enjoyed being pushed in the stroller & wanted to get out at each house. She was not too shy to hold out her bucket & say 'Trick-er-Treat'! Followed by 'Thank You'! (Sadly we didn't get a great picture of the kids on the door step.)

We were lucky enough to run in to Sarah Palin. She was campaigining right here in our neighborhood that night! This lady was hamming it up- accent and all!

Halloween was so much fun, but I am kind of glad it is over. It seemed to go on and on this year.

We do a night with dinner in a pumpkin also. We'll have to compare recipes and see how close they are to one another.
