| Adren's pumpkin |
It's a month of decking the house, deciding on and creating costumes, carving pumpkins and anticipating earning that big bag of candy, and we did it all!
I hadn't planned on throwing the big party, so therefore didn't have a costume together. Then after a few texts from people saying they actually were available and planning on coming to party, we got in party mode big time! I felt like it was Christmas with the Kranks- Halloween style. We threw up some Halloween streamers, straightened up the decor, and threw costumes and dinner together. It all came together spectacularly, if I must say so!
 |
| Our enormous group! |
|
 |
| The Whitmore's and Granny Taylor! |
 |
| The Bocanegra's and Hess'! |
 |
| Cash Family~ Harry Potter themed! |
 |
| Marriage is really aging them. |
 |
| Geertsen's! |
 |
| Taylor's! |
It was a full, rockin' house! We formed a parade around the neighborhood while jamming to Ghostbusters, Thriller and other Halloween music.
Before we left, Abby had the kids decorate clear cups with Halloween stickers as a "Ghost Trap" and placed them on a paper plate...
Sure enough, when we arrived back from our parade the kids had captured ghosts in their cups!
We wedged in some pumpkin carving~
On Halloween Day I watched the kids parade around again~ It's odd to only have three to look for, and this will be Eli's last.
 |
| Eli as "Horse Man"~ I love it! |
 |
| Zeke in his Blue Morph Suit! He insisted this is what he wanted to be for Halloween. I suggested the many FREE costumes we already had. He patted my arm and said, "Mom, your just going to buy me a morph suit, OK?" He was right... |
 |
| Paisley as a DARLING Indian Princess. This was fun to create, down to her furry leg warmers. |
I made some yummy soups and Grandparents Geertsen's and Taylor's arrived, and the kids and friends were off!
 |
| The pug and the bear. |
 |
| A real variety of cuties! |
Another balmy, warm Halloween!
Trick or Treat!
The kids and friends ended up at our house, eating candy and hanging out afterwards. A really fantastic Halloween!
 |
| They arrived back exhausted and satisfied. |
The day after Halloween the next countdown arrived...
 |
| Nine days until this girl celebrates her big day! |
