happy halloween. 2014.

Last year, the only superhero we had in the family was Beer Man. This year, big brother and little sister donned Captain America costumes and prepared to join Beer Man in their mission to save the world. 

Capt. Cassidy ready for action.

Capt. Lincoln ready to use his shield.


Big bro and little sis.

Super family. 

Mmmm....candy.

This is awesome! 

The kids both immediately sort their candy each year after trick-or-treating.
I just love the neat rows that Cassidy created this year!
Our first halloween in Arizona sure was different as far as weather is concerned. Last year, we trick-or-treated in the rain. This year, we experienced unseasonably warm temperatures, even for Arizona. The daytime high was 92 degrees! It was in the 80s by the time the sun set and we were outside trick-or-treating. I must say it was pretty enjoyable. 

Cassidy enjoyed Halloween so much this year that she cried after she was in bed because she was SO sad that it was all over. 
One day later,..
- Cassidy is asking how many more days 'til next Halloween. Oh boy. 
- Lincoln is in the family room watching football with his Captain American costume on. Apparently he's not ready to let Halloween go yet either. 

Hope you all got a few tricks and a lot of treats! 


pumpkins become jack-o-lanterns.

Time to clean out the pumpkins!
Cassidy giving her pumpkin a hug before we stab it and dig the innards out! 

Lincoln getting ready to carve. 

Their expressions look as if they're so surprised by what's inside.

And then they're mortified by the eeewy gooeyness of it. 

Look...I got one seed out!

Ewww...I got some goop on my hand. 
 I love this next series of 4 pictures:
Ok, I'm just gonna go in with my hand.

This is pretty icky, but I can get this stuff out. No biggie. 

Ok, maybe it is a biggie. This is icky.

Eeeeeewwww! Yuck!

Finally digging in to get the pumpkins cleaned out without all the drama of getting messy.

Matt's handiwork.
Lincoln's pumpkin is on the left: Captain America shield (in honor of his costume this year)
Cassidy's pumpkin is on the right: She wanted a big pumpkin eating a little pumpkin. Look at that poor little guy: "Please don't eat me!"
