Halloween 2012 (Finally!)

So, it's November!  Wait, it's Halloween though!  Due to Hurricane Sandy, trick or treat was moved from October 31 to Sunday November 4 from 5:00-6:30.  It was a good thing.  The weather on October 31 was awful and there were still many residents who did not have power.  November 4 was actually a little cold but it wasn't raining. 

So, our morning started out with cleaning out the pumpkins that we have had now for over a month.  Dad was at a Romney Rally so he wasn't here to do the elabrate pumpkin carvings that we have had in the past, so the girls actually got to draw their own faces on the pumpkins and mom got to cut them out.  They drew circles, rectangles, hearts, U, and other shapes.  Gina even wrote her name on the side in bubble letters.  Gina decided that she needed to name her pumpkins so they were Miss. Claire and Miss Fiona. 

Finally, Dad got home and it was just about time to go Trick or Treating.  Natalie lasted about 10 houses before deciding to sit with Mom and pass out candy.  She might have been a little tired since she got up at 5:15AM (due to the time change).  Gina lasted the entire hour and 1/2 trick or treating.  Our friend from up the street, Caroline, came down and treated with her.  Gina had a homework assignment to count her candy.  She got 188 pieces of candy.  Oh my!

Did you notice that Ernie is voting for Mitt Romney?
