Acorns & Cherry Blossoms: ~ Happy Halloween! ~

Thankfully, it turned out to be a pretty mild day. A little chilly, but the wind died down, so it was overall a nice fall evening! Dawson's good friend, Cody, came over for the afternoon and we all carved pumpkins. Then we ordered pizza, dressed up the 'hobos' for trick-or-treating, and off they went. They had a fun night and hit EVERY home in the neighborhood that was giving out candy. They both came back with their hobo-sacks full of candy and other treats! I just heard them in the kitchen 'trading' for their favorites... too funny! Hopefully they haven't consumed too much sugar and I can get them settled down to sleep soon. Here are some fun photos of our day. Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween with your friends and family, too!! :)

BTW, love the music on your blog. I used to listen to Dave Koz back in high school, he's such a wonderful saxophone player.; November 1, 2009 at 1:33 AM

Tara Anderson said...: Wonderful pictures! The pumpkins turned out great, and the "hobos" looked too cute...if they're not too "old" for me to describe them as cute. Maybe I should use "dirty" instead. :) BTW...I am TOTALLY jealous of that big porch of yours! We had a nice Southern Living type porch on our home in SC and I miss it so much!!!

Happy Halloween!; November 1, 2009 at 7:02 AM

Great pumpkins too - we didn't even bother to carve them since it is SO hot (92 yesterday!) and they wouldn't even make it through one hight in the heat & humidity :(.; November 1, 2009 at 2:38 PM

The kiddos look so cute - and great job on the pumpkins! You might have to teach me how to do that so I can actually be a fun mom next year! ;)

Love you!; November 1, 2009 at 6:02 PM
Tami said...: Tanya,

Loved the last picture...lol...looks like the boys were VERY successful in their endeavor;-)!! Owen was almost a hobo too this year, but changed his mind a week before Halloween. Dawson and Cody looked great!

I have to say, I love seeing a picture of YOU!! And you all did a great job carving those
pumpkins:-).

I wonder what Khloe will be next year?!!!

Love and hugs,
