Halloween

This year Ella was a ladybug for Halloween and I dressed up as a "Mommy-to-Bee." (We couldn't convince Rob to dress as an insect). On Saturday night, we carved our pumpkin and roasted marshmallows over the fire pit to make smores. Sunday, we went to Cynthia, Dave, and Liam's for a party before trick or treating. Ella enjoyed going door to door this year and spent half the time out with Rob while I gave out candy. Then we traded jobs.

(We each drew our own design and then picked which one to carve onto the pumpkin)

  2. I think circle eyes make more sense than triangles anyway

  3. Cute costumes!! I love that you dressed up, Jen. Too bad Rob didn't want to be an insect, haha!
