New-ish tradition for us is "booing." Someone drops a halloween package on your front porch with a poem inside saying you've been "booed." You tape the boo poem on your front door so everyone knows you've been booed. In turn, you then boo someone. George and Magnolia each chose someone on the street to boo. Here are the packages ready to be delivered. Later that night when it got dark we crept up to the houses and left our treats...it was a lot of fun!
Old tradition is carving pumpkins. I asked them to draw what they wanted carved out. George proceeded to completely color his entire white pumpkin with every color imaginable. It was quite stunning. Then he asked me to carve out a dog bone which I did. Definitely a winner for most creative. Magnolia colored the classic pumpkin face. We lit them up on Trick or Treat night.
Introduction of the newest Judy Family tradition is Saturday Night Sleepovers. I always intended for these two to share a bedroom. I guess I always imagined a house crammed with kids where everyone would be sharing rooms. Since we have just two and we realized how much work it would be to combine rooms, we decided to let them have sleepovers every Saturday night instead. This way sleeping together would remain a special treat (like they do in hotels and on the island). The first night went beautifully. They fell right asleep and stayed in bed all night long.
I love how close these two are.
