And so it begins...

Halloween is here!  Allison's school got the party started with a parade and Halloween party on Friday.

We hit Treat Street at the local high school and trick-or-treated through the school hallways.  We even made it through a pretty scary haunted house!  
Then it was pumpkin time.  Last year, Allison insisted that her pumpkin was NOT going to have a mouth.  It was the quietest pumpkin ever.  This year, she initially insisted that a hand-drawn face would suffice.  
Allison's Law:  Why bother with carving when a Sharpie works just fine?
When we finally convinced her to carve the pumpkin, she insisted on a simple yet sad face.  We tried to get her to agree to turn the frown upside down, but she wasn't having any of that.  So, a sad pumpkin it is: 
Elisabeth had grand plans for her family of pumpkins and kept Fred busy custom-carving each one:
 
What a fine looking bunch of pumpkins, sad or not!
Happy Halloween Eve!
