Without trying, the kids both picked out superhero costumes for Halloween this year – Ironman and Supergirl. We packed a lot of activities into this day and only had a couple of minor melt-downs.
After our now traditional “orange lunch” of macaroni and cheese and mandarin oranges, were the obligatory pictures next to the pumpkins. It’s almost impossible to get a good picture of the two of them together these days.
Next we were off to a Fall Festival downtown with friends. The kids played carnival games, Ari went in most of the bounce houses and we enjoyed some corndogs on the lawn in the beautiful weather. Keira was overwhelmed by the people and the loud announcer.
Finally, we were back home from some quick trick-or-treating and handing out candy of our own.
Ari loves handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters and turned it into quite the science this year. Keenan instructed him to hand out 3 candies to each kid. Ari would carefully count out the candies, one kid at a time. After a while, he decided to be prepared. During lulls he would count out the candies into piles and even made sure all 3 were the same kind. Poor kid. That’s what happens when both your parents are engineers :)
Happy Halloween! :)

Great problem solving Ari! Cute little heroes.
That's so funny that Ari was counting those candies ahead of time. Looks like you had a good time. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like a super fun day - with your little super heros! =) Great pics by the pumpkins, they look awesome in their costumes, and I Love Ari's method for handing out Halloween candy. =) That is too cute - and so "engineer-y"... ;)
