Halloween 2015

We started our Halloween morning with a special breakfast.

Parker and Claire enjoyed their tradition of carving a jack-o-lantern. Even the messy part!

Ready to head out and get some candy!

After trick-or-treating, we always watch It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Lots and Lots of Catching Up

Well, it's been a while...a long while. I'm still trying to catch up from summer, and here we are at the beginning of the new year.

Halloween 2014

What a fun Halloween! On Thursday, we carved our jack-o-lantern. The kids drew on the face and took turns cutting it out.

On Friday, we made homemade pizza before heading out for a rainy, cold Halloween.

Claire was a beautiful butterfly and Parker wore his woopie cushion costume for the fourth year in a row. I'm not sure if it's just tradition for him now or if he really likes it that much. I don't mind though because it's a whole lot better than the costumes in stores for boys his age. They are all so evil and gross! Not to mention, reusing a costume is free. Mama likes free!

We have a great neighborhood for trick-or-treating. There are kids everywhere, and lots of fun neighbors who enjoy handing out candy.

They both came home with buckets overflowing! We definitely won't run out of candy for a long time!

We hope you had a fun Halloween!

Halloween Through The Years

Happy Halloween! We always have a fun Halloween around our house. Our neighborhood has lots of kids AND lots of friendly neighbors who give out candy. People who don't live in our neighborhood even come because it's the place to be on Halloween night! Parker and Claire love trick or treating with lots of friends. Here are a few pictures from Halloweens past. (I didn't have time to go back farther than 2008!) 

You may notice some recurring themes with Parker: pirate, pirate, pirate, whoopee cushion, whoopee cushion, whoopee cushion 

Any guesses what he is dressing up as this year???

Halloween Activities

We went to a fun party near the lake for Halloween.

 Parker carved pumpkins at Boy Scouts.  He did a great job!

 Claire helped!

 There was also a Boy Scout Halloween party.  The boys made houses out of big boxes.  We thought this one looked really great!
