Halloween

We had a great Halloween! Our family is a big fan of Halloween and everything that comes with it!

We carved our pumpkin, and oh my word I promise to start being a better photographer... I didn't get a pic of the finished masterpiece!! Ah well, the kids were much cuter and more fun to take pics of.

It is just downright funny to me to watch these two little munchkins and their different personalities. As you can tell, KynnLee thought the pumpkin guts were totally gross...


... and Jaden thought it was the coolest thing ever! Trevor suggested gloves, otherwise Jaden would have just dug in. He IS a little weird about the cleanliness of his hands though. :)


And of course Jaden just wouldn't be a real brother if he didn't tease his sister!





We have some plywood and other stuff sitting in our garage and I had the wild idea to make a haunted house out of it. I bought a bunch of little wooden Halloween nick-nacks a couple years ago and haven't done anything with them, so a Haunted House it is!

We started with the big piece of plywood and painted it all black. Yes KynnLee's jammies are too small, but they were the first ones I came across that I didn't care if they got paint on them.



And here is the finished (scary voice) Haunted House! We had a lot of fun doing it! The best part was that we already had all the supplies lying around the house!



We all had fun Trick-or-Treating. We let the kids go in the Viper, although I'm thinking a wagon would be ideal for Trick-or-Treating. You just can't trust a 6yr old to park a car in a good spot and be quick about it (it was cold doggonnit!). Ha ha, no Jaden did ok driving and parking. :)


Oh my word, this was hysterical! There's a house down the street that always goes all-out for Halloween with all kinds of monsters and such in their yard. Well, as I send the kids up to the door, I'm on the sidewalk by the guy you see below and he starts moving toward me!!! Scared the bajeebers out of me! He didn't move fast, or even say anything. So I motion for him to go after Jaden as he comes back... didn't even phase him! I'm such a sucker!



This random pic was on with my Halloween pics.... yes he was actually stuck.
