This year was a big year for us. It was the first time Liam went real trick-or-treating (and Amelie too) and the first time we ever had real trick-or-treaters (not just friends stopping by). It was also the first year Liam really anticipated Halloween and our first year carving a pumpkin. For months, Liam has been really interested in the "scary guys" at every Halloween store. Yesterday, he watched the Thriller music video at least 5 times and listened to "Monster Mash" at least a dozen.
He became so interested in showing his bravery and scary guys, that he altered his Halloween costume from being a pig (his favorite animal) to being a scary pig (combination skeleton and pig). In the end, he decided he just wanted to be a skeleton.

Liam was so excited to carve the pumpkin and scoop out the inside. When we went to carve the pumpkin, Liam said he wanted a scary face with a happy mouth.
This picture perfectly explains what Liam thought of pumpkin carving.
Amelie was a kitty, since that is her favorite animal. She was as enthusiastic about trick-or-treating as Liam was. Amelie was even saying candy by the end of the night, although she didn't get to eat much more than a couple of M& M's.
Everyone had lots of fun on Halloween and all are now suffering from "Halloween hangovers" (=really grouchy from not enough sleep/too much sugar and excitement).

We can relate to the hangovers and poor Tolman has HFM disease to top it off. :( Loved hearing Liam's thoughts on Halloween and of course the pumpkin pic! He is so cute.
