Our Top Ten Favorite Things about Halloween 2009....in no particular order.

1. Making Claire’s costume and her wanting to put it on everyday.

2. Picking out pumpkins at the pumpkin patch.

3. Carving pumpkins and seeing Claire’s expression when we turned off the lights

4. Tina getting the best costume award at the YW/YM Halloween party

5. Roasting pumpkin seeds

6. Eating homemade chili and cinnamon rolls.

7. Eating most of Claire’s Halloween candy after we put her to bed. Well, she isn’t supposed to eat it anyway!!

8. Claire getting excited to get so much candy. She would say “please” and “thank you” and then she would take extra candy.

9. Claire refusing to put her hand inside of a pumpkin because she said it was "dross"=gross….but hours earlier she had no problem sticking her hand in the toilet to grab a toy that fell in.

10. Now that Halloween is over I can change the music on our blog….. we thought the Halloween music was a good idea but we got sick of listening to it really fast.
