halloween is over, can I still take pictures?

Trick or treating is over and done and we almost missed it, so I didn't get any pictures of the girls in their costumes. I plan to make them get dressed up again tonight just so I can take those pics! By the time I wanted the girls to get ready, September had a killer of a headache and just couldn't go. I talked her into laying down and she was asleep within 2 minutes! When she finally woke up 2 hours (yes 2) later at 7:20 and said she felt fine, I quick hustled them into their costumes and took them to a church for trunk or treating. Then we hit a couple of friends houses and went to Grandma and Grandpa's. We were home by 8:15, I hurried them out of costumes, fed September supper and hurried them into bed by 9:00. That's when I realized I had forgotten to take any pictures.
That's okay, we are going to carve our pumpkins tonight too. I just figured it has been a busy week, and they don't get to enjoy them anyway on Halloween, so we extended the fun one more night. I just about waited too long to buy pumpkins. There was one florist in town that still had an outside decoration that included pumpkins in the display and they let me buy two of those! Whew! someday I will learn not to procrastinate the important stuff, lol.

You know what? I love that as parents we set the tone...not society. When my kids were little Bill was a police officer. So we scheduled the birthday's and yes even Christmas one year on when he could be with us.

So carve the pumpkins and bake the seeds and take a ton of photos and none will be the wiser. OR it will be a comfort for them as they have their own families and they understand that it is ok to do things your way!!!

Take pictures of the pumpkins for here too!!!!

Oh that is too bad September had a headache. Glad it was short lived.
Sounds like you got a little bit of trick or treating in.
I almost forgot to take my camera along.
I say hey why not just take their pictures today.

I love carving pumpkins but haven't done it with the kids for several years now!

I have forgotten to take pictures many times too...comes with the job...too much going on, not enough time and lots of stress sometimes.
