Our Halloween Festivities!

Pumpkin Carving:


We carved pumpkins two days before Halloween. I opted for something easy-as usual...
...and Josh picked something quite difficult-as usual!
He even pulled out the power tools after awhile.
Here is Josh's pumpkin. Can you tell who it is? I'll give you a clue, He's a glorious man who's name we say A LOT of things in!! (You know..."In the name of.....")


Halloween Party #1
On the day before Halloween our ward had a party at the church. Here is Tessa doing the cake walk with her Daddy. Tessa was little Red Riding Hood, and Josh...I'll get to what he was if you can't already tell.

Here is Matthew as Johnny Apple Seed, and by his side is Super Man and Tinkerbell.

And Tessa Dunking for Duckies

Maggie the Kangaroo
Tessa-Little Red Riding Hood
Our little family!

And I was a 50's house wife.




Halloween Party #2

On Halloween (after Maggie and I had a costume change) we went to part of my dad's ward's party, and then on to Trick-or-Treating. This is us at Barb's house.

Emily and her kids

Kaleb the Dalmatian (Matthew and Sally's Kids)

Sydnee and Hannah-A rich witch and an angel


Tinkerbell (Charlotte's Daughter Allison)

Superman and a Pirate (My brothers might recognize that pirate costume)

Maggie as Piglet. I had two costumes for her and couldn't decide which to use so I did the kangaroo one night and Piglet the next.

Okay, and now Josh's costume-What else would Josh wear an earring for! Mr. Clean!!! I have had a crush on Mr. Clean since I was a teenager. I even have the Barbie Doll of him, which Josh gave me when we were dating. So yay!!! Now I have my own full size version of him!!

And I traded my housewife costume for a Scarecrow...which was easier to wear going around trick-or-treating. :)

And here are my two sugar filled children. They loved it!

Happy Halloween!
