Halloween

Happy Halloween Everyone. Welcome to our maiden blogging voyage. We decided to do halloween first and catch up on the Hawaiian life later. This year halloween is a two day celebration. Yesterday Rusty came home early so we would have time to carve a pumpkin. Here is a picture of me and the girls with our pre pumpkin. Katelyn was a little hesitant to dive into the pumpkin guts, but her fearless big sister showed her the way. Kyleigh mushed and schmoogled the pumpkin guts until the newspaper underneath was so wet it mixed with the pumpkin guts. She even made us a pumpkin gut pizza!
Oops, wrong picture order. (Hey, it's my first time to blog, give me a break). Rusty and the girls decided on the jack o lantern face. Daddy is a good pumpkin carver. (Kyleigh still mushing pumpkin guts).

Katelyn, rolls and all, eventually started doing a little mushing herself.

We went to our ward's trunk or treat. They had dinner before the trunk or treating and games afterward. One of the games was a cupcake walk. Kyleigh's cupcake was stashed underneath Uncle Mike's chair. Katelyn went over to visit uncle Mike on his chair and when he looked down she had already devoured a majority of the cupcake. It took a while to get her cleaned up but it was well worth this picture.

After the trunk or treating Holly came over for the annual Holly and Kyleigh candy separating. Katelyn wanted to join in the fun. Ward members warned us that in Hawaii any hard candy has to be put in a jar or something airtight or it will go soggy. Who knew?

Kyleigh dressed up as a bride and Katelyn's last minute costume was a bunny rabbit. She cried on the way to trunk or treating and rubbed off her whiskers before we got there.

Kyleigh also got to go trick or treating at Rusty's work after preschool, where each office had candy for the kids. They fed us pizza and soda for lunch. Tonight we are going trick or treating in Mike and Holly's neighborhood in Poipu which is, according to the locals the best place to go on the island. Then we are having our annual dinner in a pumpkin with Mike and Holly. This will be the third state we have lived in and had dinner in a pumpkin. Happy Halloween everyone.
