Happy halloween

Ryan carved his pumpkin almost all by himself this year. He made a pirate. The pumpkin almost lasted until Halloween. The day before we had to toss it because it was leaking goo all over the front porch.

Presenting Darth Vader. On Halloween night Ryan was complaining that his head hurt. Jeff said he was sorry but couldn't do anything about it. The next day Ryan had a bruise on his forehead from his mask. Just in time for family pictures.





Here is Kaylee's painted pumpkin. I do not love carving pumpkins so I decided to paint mine this year. Kaylee was set on carving hers like scooby doo until she saw the paint. What a budding little artist.

This is the saddest Witch on the block!! Kaylee had decided she wanted to be a mean witch for Halloween. I told her she could even though I was surprised she didn't want to be a princess. We picked out her outfit at the store, and even tried it on before the tags came off. She loved it. So we got ready for the church Halloween party and we had a meltdown. Everything was so itchy. She was running around the house like a Banshee! It was horrible crying and screaming in Kaylee fashion only 10 times worse than normal. I pinned her down (literally with her kicking and hitting me) and put on the long sleeve shirt. Then another wrestling match to get the tights on. You would think that would have eased the itch since her entire body was covered in 100% cotton, but no she was too far gone by this point. So I went into her closet ready to get her a plain old outfit and I saw the tinkerbell costume from last year....and it fit and we all went to the party happy! Well I was still miffed about spending money on the costume. Well at least I convinced her to chill long enough for a picture. She makes a beautiful tinkerbell!


This little bee won the contest at the church for the cutest costume. After this pic, I put on a white onesie underneath, white tights and black mary janes, then I completed it with 2 little ponies on top of her head because of course she didn't leave the headband alone. Sorry no pics of the finshed product. She was adorable!

Taylor's handprint pumpkin. We put about 5 prints and this was the only one that looked like a handprint. It was a fun halloween full of fun activites and now great memories.
