Enoch's Preschool Program
Enoch has been practicing his Halloween songs for a month. I hear him singing them everyday. His class performed a very cute program with songs and poems. His favorite song is "A Mean Old Witch" (I remember singing that song, too!). It was very cute and he did a great job. He kept winking at me during the program and it just made me laugh.
Kate's Tutu Skirt
This well may be Kate's first and only tutu skirt. It was such a pain to make. But, it was worth it to see her; she loves it. She also loves her kitty Halloween shirt. She wraps her arms around herself and makes cooing noises when she gives her kitties hugs.
Pumpkin Pizza
I tried to be a fun mom and make jack-o-lantern mini pizzas for dinner on Friday night. I cut pepperoni into triangles for the eyes and nose and used green pepper slices for the mouth and stem. I thought they were cute, but the kids freaked out when they saw the peppers. For Pete's sake, pick the peppers off and eat your pizza! Good Grief!
Carving Pumpkins
I have to admit, carving pumpkins isn't really our thing. We finally decided Friday night to do it. I was surprised at how much Enoch got into it - literally. He had a great time helping Greg scoop out the seeds. Gavin and Kate thought it was gross, but Enoch loved it. Gavin did the carving and, of course, we ended up with a 'Y'. It was a great activity for Gavin since he is going through his knife and fire phase!
Halloween Wake-Up Call
Saturday morning at 5:45 am Enoch woke me up by asking, "Is today Halloween?". "Yes, go back to bed." I replied. "Mom, you told me that when it was Halloween and it was dark outside, we could go trick-or-treating." ARRGGG! A few minutes later I could hear him saying, "Kate, wake up, today is Halloweeen." I got up and went into Kate's room to find the two of them sitting by her crib with Enoch reading to her. It was so cute; I was slightly less mad at him; slightly.
Donuts
We had our traditional Randall donut party on Halloween afternoon. It was so much fun to see everyone in their costumes. The kids had a great time playing and I hope everyone enjoyed the donuts.

Can you share your donut recipe?
Fun fun. The donuts were delicious. I wish I could have seen Kate in her orange and black costume, she looks adorable and she was smiling for that picture, none of the pictures i took of her she would smile in.
You'll have to teach me how to make donuts. But then I would eat them. Maybe not such a good idea.
Cute apron. :p
i'm impressed with the pumpkin pizza. I am pretty sure my kids would have freaked out with the green peppers too. I had great ideas for some fun things to eat, but they kind of got ruined by the sickness! The tutus cute, I suggest the tie way, it was super easy if you want to do another one.
Tresa, you look so cute in that picture at the stove. Such a happy mother! Is it true, then? Did Kate have TWO Halloween costumes!? Wow! Oh, it looks like so much fun and the costumes were so perfect! Still miss the doughnuts! I had to laugh at the pumpkin pizza. Don't be discouraged! Just keep making it every year. They'll appreciate the tradition of it (and they'll make a tradition of picking off the peppers, too) :-) Thanks for the post!
