Halloween 2011
Halloween has come and gone but somehow we still have POUNDS of candy left! The kids did really well trick or treating this year. It’s so nice that they’re finally at the ages where they can actually trick or treat – like you’re supposed to. Noah and Ayla rang doorbells, said trick or treat, thank you… and Kate was on their heels with her bag wide open most the night. It was awesome!
Noah was a shark again this year, his favorite costume yet! Hopefully he’ll move on next year, especially since his arms “hulk out” of it every time!
Kate was a “scary, pink monster” despite most people calling her a chicken. It wasn’t a character, just a cute costume, but she really animated it!! She also loved how soft and fuzzy she was and constantly petted her belly.
Noah and Kate were very excited to carve a pumpkin this year! I assumed they realized a pumpkin patch meant photo op. Unfortunately it took them a bit to get used to the idea but they finally came around! We went to the pumpkin patch and Lindy, Shane, and Natalie met us. It was a great day!
These squeaky black mice were life savers! The kids loved them!!
As usual, I took my opportunity to torture Shane. Some day he will thank me for all these photos… right?!
This swamp was disgusting! I took of my shoes and walked into it, carefully balancing a baby in a cauldron. The gush between my toes was definitely Halloween inspired! I’m hoping these photos are worth it!!
And though we loved the idea of a baby in a pumpkin, it wasn’t easy and Shane wasn’t a fan!!
And how we went out…
Unfortunately Noah got sick in the car on the way home from school (I think it was too much candy during the day + the whole box of Nerds in his mouth + the balloon he was trying to blow up….oy), so he had to trick or treat in shorts. He didn’t seem to care.
Hope you had as great of a Halloween as we did!!
