Halloween Activities

It's Halloween Time.  This year for our festivities, we carved pumpkins and for the first time in a long time, we had everyone here for the pumpkin carving.  Two of the pumpkins we carved were volunteers grown in our garden from last year's pumpkins.

EEEEWWWWW!!!!!

Kaytie wasn't sure what to think of the pumpkin carving.

The traditional someone eats the pumpkin guts!

Stephanie doesn't like the natural moisturizer of pumpkin guts, so she was the baby tender and co-photographer.  In other words EEEEWWWWW PUMPKIN Guts!!!!

The finished pumpkins, Michael's Jack pumpkin is in the front, one of the home grown ones, and Kaytie's and Stephanie's pumpkin (they shared) is by the baby chair.  It was also homegrown and had a very thick skin.  It was the hardest to carve, it was almost indestructable.

How cute!

For Halloween the kids all dressed up.

Stephanie was dressed up as Stephen.  She was very convincing, even fooling her grandpa at the mutual Halloween party until she gave him a hug.

Friday for school everyone dressed up.  Stephie left before I got the camera out, that's why she's missing from the picture and Kaytie was still asleep.

Jared was Harry Potter - complete with the BLACK hair.

Shawn also went with the black hair as superman.  This is his costume parade at the Early Childhood Center.

Saturday Trick or Treating

David was Woody (we've gotten a lot of use out of that costume)  Shawn was Superman and Kaytie was a little mouse (same as Stephie's first Halloween - I kept the costume)

Here's the whole gang, Michael put on the Buzz Lightyear hat and Stephanie put on the toy bar from Kaytie's baby seat just to be silly like the rest of them.

Scott and Holly came up and went trick or treating with us. Stephanie and Michael hung out with friends and went to the haunted house at the Hinckley academy, so the little boys had to share their Halloween candy with the big kids.  It was a fun evening.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
