Happy Halloween!

The kids had a fantastic Halloween. I kind of feel like they got gypped a little because mom was so sick and miserable we all kind of had to stick close to home. We wanted to take them out where a bunch of our friends were trick-or-treating so they would have some little friends to go with. Oh well, they had fun, and actually our neighborhood was awesome! A few houses were giving out whole candy bars... just what we need, but Jaden thought it was so cool.

Here's the Halloween decor we made this year. Jaden absolutely LOVED the monster on the door! After we got it all done (late at night), we had to go outside and see it from the sidewalk. Then he says, "Let's stay out here all night and watch it scare people!!! That will be funny!!", he cracks me up! Then he wanted to make one for every door in the house, on each side! What a crazy little man...

We were able to make this spooky sign with stuff we had laying around the garage.


The kids were in their costumes all day. Jaden was The Human Torch from the Fantastic 4. He actually had a really good idea for his costume, and thought of it all by himself. He has a little basketball with a rubberband attached to it (for his Build-a-Bear). He put it around his wrist and would throw it, he said "it looks like I'm throwing a FIRE BALL!!!". Don't know where he gets his craziness...

KynnLee was.... (drum roll) ..... STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, of course!! And the *cutest* one I've ever seen, by far!!. I sprayed her hair red with some glitter. She also had some freckles on her nose and cheeks. Beeda made the hat, so the rest was pretty darn easy.

I wanted to take them out and about to places giving away free stuff for kids in their costumes. A couple restaurants were giving away kid's meals, it would have been fun to go to lunch. But again, mom was too sick to leave, so they ended up at home all day in their costumes.


We weren't sure if KynnLee was going to leave her hat on, but she did really good!!


It was so funny watching her, it didn't take long for her to catch on to the whole trick-or-treating thing. Jaden is such a good brother, he would help her and wait for her.

LOVE all those Fall leaves!

A house down the street always puts out an amazing Halloween display. Every time we would drive by through the month Jaden would ask why we can't have a "scary car and scary people" in our yard. So we made sure to take them down there and get some pics.

(The camera lens fogged up when we came in the warm house) She was so funny!! Just amazed at all the "nummies" she got.

I'm a little disappointed I didn't get any really good pics of them in their costumes. Grrr, wish I could just hire a photographer so I could chill with the kids and then go home to enjoy a bunch of amazing pics. :)

That was Halloween at the Haynes household!
