Dress Up

The kids had a great Halloween. Tuesday evening the kids and Aaron carved their pumpkins. Caleb was not at all pleased with the scary pumpkin that Aaron did for Campbell. So, Caleb got a happy pumpkin. Both of the kids had a great time pulling all the insides out of the pumpkin. Caleb thougt this was the best game ever.

On Wednesday, Campbell got to dress up for school. She decided this year that she would be a witch. Aaron and I were so happy to have her out of the princesses. She has done the princesses to death. Caleb and I joined her at school for her party. We only spent about 45 min there but Campbell was happy to have us and Caleb enjoyed all the stimulation. After Campbell's party Caleb and I went to Daddy's office. Caleb got dressed in his costume and made the rounds around the office. He had a lot of fun.

That evening we started by going out to dinner. We then met up with a few people and did the trick-or-treat thing in an outdoor mall. It was a lot of fun. The event was put on by the police department and the police were there in force so it was very safe. The stores all did a great job handing out candy to the kids. Caleb really understood that he was getting candy this year. Although, he really only cared about the doddy bop (lolly pops). He made sure that he had one in his hand at all times.

We spent about an hour before Campbell said that she was done. We can always count on her to tell us when she is done. She has always been that way. When she's done, she's done. She really doesn't do if for the candy as much as the experience. She is an odd child; mature beyond her years. Caleb was worn out after the first 15 minutes, but he hung in there well with his sister.
