Happy Halloween!

When we carved the pumpkin last year Luca wasn't really interested. He helped scrape out some of the insides and then had fun putting the cut outs back in like a shape sorter toy. This year he was even less interested.

Building a duplo train is way more fun than carving a pumpkin

So Josh cut it open, I scooped out the insides and drew on the face, and Josh carved it. Tessa slept.

Playing games on my phone is also more fun than carving a pumpkin

But Luca really liked it when it was done!

And of course, we tried trick-or-treating. I say "tried" because we made it to all of 6 houses--neighbors and family and the fire station. And just doing that was a fight. For whatever reason, Luca is happy to wear his costume around the house but had epic meltdowns when we asked him to wear it for trick or treating.

Still he got candy and saw some friendly faces, so it wasn't bad. The weather was yucky anyway, so we wouldn't have gone to many houses even if he wanted to. There's always next year!
