Halloween - The Process

Posted by Jill Rule Categories:
 
 
 
This week has been an eventful one here at the Rule household.  We have been carving pumpkins, Kayleen went to the Pumpkin Patch wtih her Girl Scout troop, and yesterday we had fun at Jeremy's office and in the neighborhood trick-or-treating.  Here is a rundown of the festive process (sorry, this is a long blog post):
 
 
 
Alexander attached to his pumpkin.
 
 

 

Now, let's see how this tastes.  He spit it out right after this shot.  :-)

 
 
Kayleen was excited to start the carving as well.  I told them I'd have the pumpkins all ready before they got home from school.
 
 
Kids during the carving process.  Alex really wanted to have his picture taken while he stuck his head in the pumpkin.
 
 
Ethan busy picking out pumpkin seeds for roasting.  Too bad Dad burned them all when he tried to cook them.  :-(
 
 
Objective complete!  Ethan said his guy has a beard under the mouth and a pimple above the right eye.  Funny what kids can come up with.
 
 
Kayleen and Ethan made all sorts of hanging decorations for the house and their rooms.

Alexander wanted to make sure we took a picture of his tail.  Then he runs to the camera and says, "Let meeee seeeeee the picture." 
 
 
 
Here is a gem.  Kayleen wrote this note as I was trying to get the kids in their costumes.  We were headed down to Jeremy's office at Microsoft to enjoy the festivities. 
 
 
 
In the lobby at SAMM D, Microsoft, Issaquah, WA.
 
 
Many employees had candy in their cubicles for the kids to trick-r-treat indoors.  It's a great event Microsoft has had for the past few years.  They have fun things for the kids to do, dinner in the cafeteria for everybody, and even a Haunted House!
 
 
 
Well, some people weren't at work anymore, so they just left plates or bowls at their cubicles for the kids.
 
 
 
Having fun with Dad (Jeremy) while Mom (Jill) went to food for everybody.
 
 
"You..must...look...at...the...camera..."  :-)
 
 
 
 
 
SUGAR HIGH!!!!
