Happy Halloween!

Harding is wound up and ready for Halloween. Every morning this week, the first words out of his mouth have been, "Is it Halloween yet"? This morning, he was overjoyed when the answer was yes.

The kids and I paid a surprise visit to Burney yesterday morning. Here is Harding and Shelby with their great-grandmother.
Pumpkin carving with daddy:

Harding dressed as a skeleton for his Halloween party at school on Friday. He is fascinated with all things "scary" and wanted to be either a spider or a skeleton or a ghost. At 1:00 today, he is still undecided about what he will wear this evening.

Sweet little butterfly Shelby (who is not thrilled with her costume):

Our afternoon will include the trunk-or-treat at church and then trick-or-treating in West Asheville later tonight. Stay tuned for more pictures.
