Our first pumpkin rotted after being gnawed on by some squirrels, so the kids and I ran out to buy a substitute the day before Halloween so that we could carve it.  Blaine wanted to carve it into a vampire!  The result ended up scaring the kids somewhat.

Here’s Blaine with the pumpkins his class carved at school.

Sarah had off from school on Halloween, so we met up with some of her friends at the Willow Park playground in the morning, and then we went to a Halloween party at the Larchmont library.

Blaine got to take his costume to school that day for a Halloween parade at 2pm!

After school the kids discovered that the Mr. Softee truck was giving away free vanilla soft serve.  As if we needed more sugar.

Here are my two little firefighters with Blaine’s best friend from Kindergarten, who also decided to dress up as a firefighter!  So cute.

We decided to walk over to the fire department to get a pic.  The doors were closed but Blaine went and peered in the window and got some firefighters to open up for him!

They were so nice, and even gave the kids candy and glow necklaces.

Back at home we had pizza for dinner, then got ready to do some trick-or-treating!

We made it all the way to Vanderburgh (2 blocks!) this year before crossing the street and coming back on the other side.

Happy Halloween, everyone!
