Halloween in Hershey



Halloween is held the Thursday before the 31st in our township. Im not exactly why, there are many explanations. But, the event went on as usual. Mike and the boys carved pumpkins while I was gone. It was nice to not have to clean up pumpkin guts.
Wednesday we went to the Hershey Parade. The kids get too much candy from the parade. Its sponsored by the Chocolate Factory, so you guessed it, tons of chocolate. Which isnt all bad, except its overwhelming for my kids. We usually add some of it to our giveaway bucket to trick or treaters. The kids have too much after they come home anyway. It was freezing cold at the parade, but we had a good time.
The next evening was Trick or Treating. The boys all were Skeletons this year. Zach saw the Pajamas at Gymboree earlier in the fall. He wanted them. I thought "SURE, DUAL PURPOSE PJ'S & COSTUMES?! WHY NOT!". So, Asher followed suit as a skeleton. I was so torn, I have two costumes for every age group from newborn to 4T. I thought about putting him back in my favorite TOM ARMA cow costume, but he stayed home with me to answer the door, so I figured he didnt need to be in a hot costume. I was a black Cat and daddy was well...daddy. No dressing up this year, well, maybe he was a super model, he always looks like one to me!
So, we had a great night! Now its off to the grandparents to scare up some fun over there!

Each of the boys carved a pumpkin. Tanner wanted a mean one. Zach wanted a nice one.

Zach didnt want to be in the picture. Did I mention that 3 yrs old in the worst age!

Mike I am sooo disappointed you're not wearing your famous skeleton shirt from high school to match your kids! Hopefully Eden burned it when you got married!!!
