The Henkel Family enjoyed a wonderful Halloween this year. We carved three pumpkins with a little (a very little) help from Deirdre and Auntie Rachael. We went Trick Or Treating with Mimi Becky and Granddad Gene, and Deirdre (once again a Fairy) ran out of steam on the way back and needed to be carried.
The best pumpkins on our street, hands down.
Rachael taking her time crafting the perfect pumpkin. She found it "nezzezery" (necessary) to make sure that the design of her pumpkin complimented the face shape of Mr. Jack O' Lantern.
Mama's silly Pumpkin. He was supposed to have more teeth, but lost them in the "Great Carving Accident of 2007"
The Henkel girls before venturing out to get Halloween Candy...we were told by some older woman that we should "Take the children to Strawberry Fields...." but we didn't trust her, so we didn't. We should have gone to Strawberry Fields.
Tired Mama and Baby Lorien, the baby pumpkin before going out. She looks like she is giving a thug sign, I didn't realize she was a "Gangsta Pumpkin."
Baby Deirdre with her Halloween Loot. She was very good at saying "Trick Or Treat" and putting out her basket so the neighbors could fill it with candy. That night she enjoyed taking all of her candy out of her basket, and then putting it all back in. Seriously, all night.
The lengths one takes to get this child to stay in one place for a semi- decent, but not really shot of her in her costume without her running up to the camera and saying "I see you".
Baby Lorien, almost 2 months here.
