Parties, parades, programs, pumpkin walk, ooooh alliteration!

I LOVE HALLOWEEN.  I love the fall.  The dressing up.  The candy. THE PUMPKINS!  The trick or treating.  I have always loved it all, even the scary side.  But I have found that as I get older I don't like the "Scary" aspects of Halloween as much... or maybe it is cause that has faded away as we got more and more kids and it became more about FUN than SCARY.  I think I'd still love to go to a haunted house... we just haven't for a few years... but even a scary movie, I have become kind of a wimp.  Nate and I talked about watching "The Ring" again, but I am not sure I can do it!  Sheesh what happened to me.  BUT that said... the "fun" part of Halloween is SO much fun with kids.  I LOVE IT!  Yesterday the kindergarteners got to dress up for their Halloween party and then they had a parade around the school.  I got to help with the party and it was a blast.

Here is her cute class.

Then we headed to Carter's preschool to watch his little Halloween parade.

Handsome Batman!

They did an adorable little Halloween program.  Carter's been singing the songs for weeks.

My mommy.  Doesn't she look like she could be their mom?  I am hoping to age exactly like her.

THat night we headed to the pumpkin walk.  I love this tradition and seeing all the cool carved pumpkins.  The layout was SO much better this year, I was skeptical when I heard there would be NO line but it was true!  We got right in and out.  Which was good cause it was getting SO COLD I was FREEZING!

So the flash was off... and that is why this picture looks so creepy.

We got warm by the fire... then guess who we saw???

Pretty cool.

Now tomorrow is my day to dress up.  I signed up for a Halloween 5k with my friend Naomi and we are gonna make quite the team.... I am excited!
