A Very Happy Halloween!

This Halloween we were haunted...by cuteness! We stocked up on the Halloween costumes before we left Boston last year. The boys not only donned pumpkin costumes, but they were cows as well. I guess this was the agrarian-themed Halloween, in keeping with Indiana! And as you can imagine, we did take tons of pictures.

Earlier in the week we went to a pumpkin patch right near our house to pick out our special Halloween pumpkin. They had a petting zoo of sorts set up in the barn, so we took the opportunity to introduce the triplets to some large smelly animals.

Of course we had to try on the costumes ahead of time to make sure they fit (and to get some pictures!).

Our first jack-o-lantern!

On Thursday, October 30th, the boys went trick or treating at the law school. Here are the highlights!

Here are the pumpkins, all loaded in the trick-or-treat wagon...



Navigating the hallway in the wagon was lots of fun...we were kind of like a traffic jam for the other trick-or-treaters!



Alex gets the hang of this "candy" thing...



On Friday, Oct. 31st, the boys went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. This time they were dressed as cows. Here's Grandma Madeira posing with the boys on the porch...

We thought we'd round up the cows for another family picture...

Here we are on the big adventure...

Playing until the cows come home!
