Halloween is my favorite Holiday

It is official! I LOVE HALLOWEEN! It is my very favorite holiday...here are the top ten reasons why I love Halloween!
#10-Pumpkin Carving! Almost every year I love to carve pumpkins! We didn't have a great experience this year. Landon accidentally sliced Chad's finger. It was all Landon's fault...it was all Landon's fault...it was all Landon's fault.
#9-Dressing up! I love to dress up on Halloween! It helps me come out of my shell a bit!
#8-Pumpkin Shaped Pizza's-for some reason, pizza always tastes better when it is shaped like a little pumpkin!
#7-Cousins-We get to see cousins on Halloween. Cloe comes to trunk or treat with us and then we head over to Grandma's and trick or treat with Chad's brother kids!
#6-Class Parties! I went to all of my kids' Halloween party this year! I made slime for all three classes! They all loved it!
#5-No Gifts! Halloween is the only "big" holiday that you don't have to give someone a gift! I am a terrible gift giver!
#4-Trick or Treating-I love to answer the door and see all of the kids in their costumes!
#3-Excitement all day long!
#2-Memories! I have some great memories of Halloween when I was little!
#1-Candy! Everyone knows I am candy freak especially chocolate. I love knocking on random doors of people I don't know and seeing what candy they are giving away! I think it tells a lot about a person!

Landon:Red Power Ranger. Jared: Ninja. Kyle: Goul at school, and motorcycle guy trick or treating! Spencer: Knight
We took a very cool train ride! Thanks Konnie!

Poor Chad. I hope it doesn't effect his landing.

DITTO!!!! I love it too BUT definately glad when it's done. I hope the pumpkin won the contest. It was probably the only pumpkin that had real blood on it.

We gave out butterfingers, snickers, baby ruth, kit kat, peanut butter cups. What does that say about me.

I make sure that the kids carve pumpkins every year. This was the first year I didn't have to clean them out for anyone - the older kids took that on. I so appreciate my older kids - I don't like the slime factor of pumpkin guts.

But they are fun to carve!
