Halloween Arizona Style

For FHE on Monday we carved pumpkins. Jagen had the great idea of doing it outside. Here in AZ it is still in the 70's that time of night and I LOVED the idea. It kept the mess outside and not in my newly cleaned house. Asey wanted to clean out her pumpkin all by herself. So after working on it for almost a half hour (to only get out like 10 seeds) we had to step in and help. Reese had a blast. She kept walking through pumpkin guts swinging a big spoon, until she had to go to bed.













Our neighborhood is still under construction and my kids would get maybe 5 pieces of candy if we stayed in our neighborhood. Some friends invited us to come to their neighborhood. (Thanks again Trendlers, so much fun!!) Basically we stepped into Mayberry. They closed the street, potluck dinner, everyone sat in their driveways, some with fire pits (because it is so chilly...NOT), kids running all over the place, a little tractor train, couple of houses had spook allies. It was so much fun for all. I gotta say didn't miss putting on gloves and jackets at all. Check out my cuties below. Check out what a cutie JD is.

Everyone looks adorable! That Reese is so cute I can't stand it, I hate that I don't know her very well! JD is killing me, it is so wrong, but so, so funny! LOVES!

J.D.!!! Gross! I am laughing out loud and disgusted all at the same time! You do make a pretty convincing gay guy though! What a great idea to do it outside. We could have this year. It was 75 degrees!

Your kids look great. Nice shiner to help the baseball uni look more authentic. Looks like you had a great evening. We usually leave our neighborhood for better ones and we don't have a construction excuse.

So cute! I love the little Dorothy! All the other kids look great, too. It was warm in Utah for Halloween, too. But, not as warm! But, now those warm days are gone and it's cold and rainy.
