Halloween

i love HALLOWEEN finally the day has come...getting ready was crazy. We had a BASEBALL PLAYER ZOMBIE, a cute COWGIRL and a SHARK or VAMPIRE*.

The children had a awesome time with their friends. Daniel had a cute program, Matthew and Anna had an awesome parade. That night we went to the Sager's for dinner, then the Dad's took the children Trick or Treating!

*Daniel does not like to dress up..first he wanted to be a SHARK.. I love the cute costume...

but when the time came to wear it he felt to embarassed.

Finally we talked him into HALLOWEEN shirt...and then he became a VAMPIRE!

carving pumpkins

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Usually we have a huge party..but I just wasn't up for the work this year. SO we tried to make halloween fun. We had our annual pumpkin carving. The children really wanted to make cookies first soooo after lots of frosting, sprinkles and tons of cute cookies...we started carving PUMPKINS. Allen has always been the best at getting the seeds out..but this year the children did not really want our help. The more we tried to help madder they got as us ( sooo hard to let them grow up:(....)! Finally, much to the children's relief, we got it, and only helped when asked (Next year we get our OWN pumpkins). The pumpkins turned out great and we had a fun night...

take note of Matthews 'barfing pumpkin'!
