All Things Halloween

I know Halloween is old news by now, you know me-I'm always two weeks behind on just about everything! Anyway, here's how spent our very happy Halloween...
Saturday we carved our Walmart pumpkin. Victoria thought that was pretty cool and loved helping me clean out the pumpkin.
Here is Victoria helping me pick out the pumpkin seeds so we could roast them. She loved getting her hands dirty with this stuff.
She even tasted it a few times. It took her a few more times of tasting the pumpkin to decide that it wasn't her favorite.
My turn to carve the pumpkin now.
Getting ready to go Trick or treating.

Cute little witch!


Our pumpkin. It's supposed to be a witch stirring her brew with a face in the steam...I'll never carve that pattern again. It took way too long.
Victoria had her friend Seth over on Halloween night for dinner and Trick or Treating. They were pretty cute!
These pictures below are from the night before Halloween, when we had our ward Trunk or Treat.
Peering into her little witches pot and checking out all her candy.

Victoria and Daddy trunk or treating.

Here is Victoria and Sierra as a cute little fairy just before going out to trunk or treat.


Shawn's awsome costume... that he made...he's "Balloon Boy"..ya know, the kid all over the news who was thought to be inside his dad's science balloon thing that floated away, but he wasn't..the whole thing turned out to be a hoax planned out by his parents who told their kid to go hide in a box in their attic while all sorts of rescue teams tried to catch him in the balloon....if you don't know what I'm talking about, you should, so google it! In the picture above Shawn is pretending to throw up...as the kid did on TV during his interview because he was so nervous about lying.

And here we are as a family..haha, kind of a ridiculous picture! We had such a fun Halloween!
