Halloween

Chad is in the midst of interviewing for internships for this upcoming summer. He just received an offer from Dow Chemical which is located in Midland, Michigan. He really wanted to check it out before any decisions were made, so we decided to make a trip of it. After I got home from class on Thursday evening we took off for my sister's house in Belleville, MI. Chad was visiting Dow for most of Friday morning and afternoon, so I stayed at my sister's house for the Halloween festivities. The kids carved pumpkins after they got home from a 1/2 day of school. Carving pumpkins is one of my favorite Halloween activities. Alexa carved a spider, Michael carved a witch brewing in her cauldron, Gregory carved a scary lookin' guy, and Zachary carved (well, Jen carved...) Thomas the Tank Engine. Jen had already picked out a simple scary face for her and Zach to carve, but he really wanted to carve Thomas. I think the pumpkins turned out great!






Zach loved his pumpkin so much he gave it a hug. =)

Chad got home for chili dinner (which was delectable) and then the kids got ready to go trick-or-treating.






Pretty Lexa was Cleopatra, the twins were mimes, and Zach was of course...Thomas. He was so funny. There was another little kid in the neighborhood that had the same costume and when Zach saw he went running over shouting, "Thomas! Come on!" Absolutely hilarious. The twins had a whole routine down for when poeple answered their doors. Everyone thought it was so great they gave them extra candy. Check out the loot:

We had a great Halloween weekend with family! It's fun to be so close.
