Happy Halloween!

We've had a fantastic Halloween this year. To me it seems like there was a lot more going on this year than in the past. The kids all enjoyed their parties, trunk or treating at church and trick or treating in our usual place. Hannah was the most fun for us all this was the first year she truly understood what trick or treating was all about. The poor girl wore herself out from running house to house by the time we got to the second street.
This is pretty much how Hannah carved her pumpkin this year, she did a lot of "supervising"f Daddy. I found a great website with free pumpkin carving patterns. Hannah was so excited to have Mickey Mouse on her pumpkin.
Carter poking his pattern onto the pumpkin, he had a lot of fun stabbing the pokers into the pumpkin (it's got to be a boy thing to find that exciting)
Ashleigh was very precise with every poke she made. It was very important to her that we knew where exactly to carve her pumpkin. Let's just say it took her FOREVER!!!!!


The finished product, I thought they turned out well. Hannah made Mickey, Carter did the skull, and Ash did the ghost and goblins.


And Finally, their costumes. Ashleigh was Amelia Earhart, Carter a Red Wings hockey player, and Hannah was Dorothy. Usually I have to sew every part of their costumes, this year I got lucky. Not one bit of sewing went into Carter's, I only had to make Ashleigh's aviator jacket, and Hannah's dress. Although I did have to make that plane which was a real pain, but Ashleigh loved it! Don't you just love how Hannah isn't looking at the camera, I never did get a picture of her face she looked everywhere except at the camera!
