The twins' 1st Halloween was great! We went to my mom's for dinner, costumes, and a pumpkin decorating contest. Brooklyn was a lion, Tayden was a monkey, Tim was Chef from South Park, and I was Ben Roethlisberger. My mom greeted us at the door dressed as Paula Deen - hilarious. The twins looked precious in their costumes, but they were super hot. They would be great winter gear in 2 feet of snow, so they only kept them on for a little while. Tim and I stayed up until 2 a.m. last night baking and decorating our pumpkins. He decided to carve his, but I painted mine. I tried to be funny, but no one quite got my idea (Little Red Riding Hood). We also carved pumpkins for the twins. Tim's pumpkin won in the Best Carved category, and my niece Mallory's Sponge Bob Square Pants won in the Best Painted category (mine didn't stand a chance). It was a fun evening and a wonderful weekend - hard to believe it is already over!
