Halloween 2012

Halloween was a week-long celebration for Jack and Audrey.  We kicked it off with a party with some my friends and their children.  Susan threw another great party and all of the little one (and adults) had a great time.  Susan and her husband recently purchased a fire truck -- yes, a fire truck.  It was a great backdrop for a Halloween picture!

The Monday before Halloween Jack got to wear his costume to Music Class.  One of Jacob's childhood neighbors Erin (Fischer) Bullard teaches this class every Monday and Jack loves it.  It was fun to see the whole group dressed up!

He was so excited to carve our pumpkin this year -- until he realized what it meant to carve a pumpkin.  All  day we planned and prepared and talked about what we were going to do.  He even woke up from his nap early, calling "Mama, pumpkin!"  Then it came time to do the cleaning and carving. He was completely grossed out by the seeds and bored with the entire process, so I ended up sitting on the kitchen floor carving the pumpkin alone.

And finally, here are the pictures from the big night:

Jack spent the majority of the night passing out candy:

He was so disappointed when there were no kids at the door. He loved his job.  I'm sure next year he'll know what Trick or Treating is, and we'll have to take him out.  This year, I was glad to stay inside!
