Halloween Weekend

Halloween was so much fun this year. Belle was so excited to go see pumpkins and get candy. We started the night before with the carving of a pumpkin.

Belle thought the stuff inside the pumpkin was pretty icky and had to be coaxed into putting her hand in there for this shot. If we would fill her little "shovel" up with the goo she would throw it in the trash for us:)

After everything was carved (and two teeth were glued back in... the pumpkin) we lit his candle and put him on the porch.

The on Friday morning we went to the Arboretum to see all the fall flowers and of course the pumpkins.

Belle literally took off running as soon as we got in. She would stop and examine any large groups of pumpkins and then she was off again searching for more.

Needless to say, we found plenty more to look at:)

That evening, we took her to the mall to trick-or-treat at the stores with Gran and Grandad and then we stopped by the church for their trunk-or-treat.

Then it was finally back home to check out all the loot (and eat some too, of course:).
