Halloween 2011

Every year I hate when Halloween rolls around. Mainly because I hate thinking of costumes for the kids. This year though, it wasn't too bad. Ellie wanted to be a witch. I found her costume at Walmart. Brayden was a hobo, and Tyler was "too old" to dress up or go trick-or-treating. We had fun doing the annual pumpkin carving. Most of the pumpkins were from our garden or the kids got them at the corn maze. Here is Bryce working on Ellie's.

Brayden did most of his by him self and it turned out great. Sorry- no picture of the finished product.

We decided to do the pumpkins in the back garage which worked out well. No messy clean-up inside.

Tyler wanted to carve one for his head. The eyes ended up being too big, but he actually wore it for a while on Halloween night.

Brayden had to try it too!

Here is Ellie at her preschool party.

Brayden enjoyed getting his costume together this year.

I didn't want to post these, but at my school the 5th grade team goes all out and comes up with something for Halloween. This year - The Smurfs! Yes, I am the Smurfette in the middle.

It wasn't much fun getting the blue face paint off.
