Halloween

This year Halloween was a two week event for us. We got the season kicked off by going to the Madsen's donut party. Next, we went to Boo at the Zoo for some trick or treating. Ashton had fun, but was ready for more. Then, Paul and Ashton carved a pumpkin. The friday before Halloween, we went trick or treating at local businesses. My brother, John, was in town and joined us. We had a blast. Yet, amazingly enough, Ashton was not satisfied. All of the pre-trick or treating just got him amped up for the main event. Finally the big day came. We were hardcore trick or treating for more than two hours! The kids were exhausted, but everyone had so much fun. I thought Ashton would be asking to go some more, but he must have gotten it out of his system.

Even though it is hard to see his costume, Dominic was a bat. Ashton was Pablo from the Backyardigans. He picked out his costume all by himself.

Ashton now thinks pumpkins are one of the coolest things in the world!
