This morning I dressed all the kids up and we all went to Abigail's preschool Halloween party. The kids had a lot of fun and Lukas asked me as we were leaving if we could "play Halloween party at that kid's house again." To which I replied, sorry no, but better things were yet to come.
We (I) carved our jack-o-lanterns. The got about 45 minutes of light time. Derek didn't want to leave them burning while we were trick-or-treating so we didn't light the candles until we got home, and then, like I said, after about 45 minutes or so Derek decided Halloween was over so he blew them out. That was sad. But oh well.
Also, I almost forgot to mention, we were all excited for our annual sweet and salty roasted pumpkin seeds. Now, I am not a pumpkin seed expert, but I have made these before, and not once have they caramelized on me this these did today. We were all kind of disappointed. Until we tasted them. Caramelized pumpkin seeds! Who knew.
After dinner (which no one ate of course, it's Halloween after all. You have to save room for all that candy!) Grampy and Grammy came by and we all went trick-or-treating. We were out for a little over an hour but at the end Abigail was asking when we were going home and Grampy had to carry Lukas because he just couldn't move his little legs anymore. It may be because their candy buckets were so heavy.
And after we got home Grammy read the children a sweet little Halloween book before she and Grampy had to leave. Then we herded the children into bed. I was so surprised that Kaleb made it the entire time! He was actually singing and laughing and squealing as we were trick-or-treating, even though it was 2 hours past his bed time. Maybe they'll all sleep in tomorrow?
