Halloween

The kids had a great time trick-or-treating.  Here is "A" getting into the spirit of Halloween!

a photo of the whole crew...

we have:

Anakin Skywalker, Spider Man, a ghost and a sweet little bee!

As we were going door to door trick-or-treating, we came across a house where they built a Halloween snow witch.  Of course I had to take a picture because you just never know when we will see snow again as early as Halloween!

We had a good time!!

The Pumpkin Carving and The Costumes...

After breakfast this morning, we carved pumpkins!

Each one of the kids designed their own pumpkin and then we helped them do the carving.

Lots of seed and goo emptying took place...

And finally, after what seemed like an eternity to them, we went trick-or-treating!

but not before lots of costume photos!

The kids got to go out with their cousins ~ they loved it. It's so much fun when we do that!!

Here they are all together. "A" is a strawberry, although it's hard to tell because she is all bent over trying to pick up something off of the floor.

Here they are again and this one is kind of funny because you can tell they're getting antsy and want to go out. I like how they're all looking at each other. Plus, now the strawberry has the clone gun. Too funny!

and here's the last group shot ~ again, cute how they're all looking at each other. Kind of like there is something funny going on that only they know about. A bit blurry...they're ready to go and are getting wiggly.

the strawberry

the Arf Trooper

the beautiful witch

and Pooh Bear

These are the only ones I could get individual shots of.

and they're off!

They had a good time, saw lots of their friends, and we even ran into our parish priest who was out in the neighborhood! Good times!

Oh, and we ran into a Sumo Wrestler as well. Had to get a photo of this one! My only question is this: How do you think he keeps the costume inflated? I mean, do they come with one of those fans like inflatable lawn ornaments you see at Christmas?

Hmmmm...

Happy Halloween!
