Are you ready for Halloween

I love Halloween,  mostly because Grandma Jackie loved it and because it was almost as much about seeing family as a kid as it was about getting candy.  This year the girls are super excited for Halloween.

 Weeks ago we went and picked out costumes with Aunt Kate, Aunt Kelly and Grandma,  Jackie is going to be Elsa, Grace is Anna, Kate is Olaf, Kelly is Sven and my dad is Kristof.  (MORE pictures to come when everybody gets together I Promise.) The girls have already worn the costumes a lot.
We went Trick or Treating in Holland this past weekend, I think that Holland may have been just a busy on then as it is during Tulip Time.  We also made treat bags for all the kids in Jacqueline's class at school.  
Yesterday we carved pumpkins with Aunt Kate.  Jacqueline wanted Elsa on her pumpkin, and Grace wanted an M&M.  Every time I asked she would go point to the candy jar of M&M's.  Jackie was not so sure about gutting the pumpkin, but she did help a little with poking the design.  Grace really liked scooping the pumpkin guts and loved eating the roasted seeds.


We are all looking forward to some more fun this week.
