KELLEN'S BIRTHDAY & HALLOWEEN

Kellen is 5! Kellen thinks he is officially the age after the "Birthday Song" and the candles are out, and no sooner. He did not think he was five that day until we actually had all of the festivities.
For his birthday we went to the Pumpkin Patch, we rode in the tractor pulley wagon, got a few pumpkins, and went through the maze.
We are pretty sunflowers. My boys might be angry with this picture when they are older. However, they were both willing participants.
So Jakob really did not want anything to do with his scarecrow costume. While I was making it I would show it to him and he would cry. Scott did not think we would be able to get him into it for the big day. I knew that once Jakob saw his reward, he would have no problem getting into the AWESOME COSTUME I made.
OK so Jakob is still not thrilled at the Trunk-or-Treat. His bucket is still empty.
Kellen was a skeleton. He found his costume himself at Value Village and was so excited to be a green skeleton. He kept asking us if we liked his costume.
I know Jakob does not look happy in this picture either, but he really was. He was thrilled with his bucket of JUNK trunk-or-treat candy.
I know there are a lot of pictures, but I have to rant for a moment (and Jakob is smiling here). After the trunk-or-treat we took the boys around our neighborhood to get some good candy. Come on folks- If you are the ones that go to WinCo and buy bulk candy for the trunk-or-treat PLEASE STOP! We all know that we take our kids out on Halloween so we too can have free candy. So how about next year we all help each other out and buy good candy for the trunk-or-treat. I am just doing my part to help us all. :)
