Halloween Weekend

     Halloween weekend was a great time for our family.  Uncle Brad (Matt's brother) drove in for the weekend, and the girls loved spending time with him.  We played outside daily, enjoying the beautiful South Carolina weather.  Claire is walking everywhere now, and she gets in to everything.  In the slideshow, you'll see her digging wet clay out of our chiminea!  Audrey showed Daddy the "scary face" she wanted to carve on her pumpkin.  This was actually a big deal - I kid you not, she took over 15 minutes deciding the right face for the pumpkin.  She even had Matt draw out a sketch on paper before she would agree to it (in the pictures, you'll see her attempting to demonstrate the look she was going for).  The jack-o-lantern was finally created, and it lit up our front porch nicely.
     On Halloween, Audrey and Claire wore beautiful costumes that my mom made.  Audrey was a princess and Claire was a flower fairy, complete with wings!  Claire wasn't so sure about the costume at first (it was almost her bedtime when we walked out the door to start trick-or-treating), but she did enjoy riding around the neighborhood in her stroller.  Audrey collected a pumpkin full of candy before returning to our house to help pass out treats to other kids!
