Halloween Fun

Monday night we had fun carving our pumpkins.

Both RJ and Savannah designed their own jack-o-lantern faces

After Savannah drew all over her pumpkin, she was real upset when I started cutting it out. She was afraid to hurt her pumpkin or mess up it's face. But after some reassurance she was OK with it and then thrilled with the results.

We made a special Pumpkin for both RJ and Savannah's first Halloween, I had to continue the tradition with Zachery.

On Halloween night we had our traditional dinner in a pumpkin, yum!!

All month RJ said he was going to be Indiana Jones but the the week before Halloween he became very indecisive. He suddenly thought he would rather be Darth Vader. But the costume in Target was $40 and very cheap, his mom wouldn't give in. And after some thought he knew he wouldn't be able to wear it to school anyway. Then he decided on a Ninja but couldn't decided on what color. After debating the different color options he decided to be a Ninja Turtle but soon changed his mind once more to a Karate Kid. We thought it was over and done with but then he had once last final thought and decided that Indiana Jones was the way to go. Before he changed his mind again, I went to the Goodwill to get a few things to finalize his Indiana Jones costume.

Savannah had problems choosing a costume as well. Everyday it was something new. A bunny, a princess, a witch, an angel, a pirate, a ballerina. Once we were at Target to look at costume she found a purple fairy she just loved. It was $10, I could handle that. She was then very happy and didn't change her mind. We went to the trunk-or-treat and carnival at the Church Wednesday night and she was the prettiest purple Fairy ever to be seen.

Friday Morning the library was having a trick-or treat and parade. I got out the fairy costume and Savannah said "No, I was already a fairy. I want to be a princess." Luckily we all ready have plenty of princess dress up items. And she went to the library as a pretty pink princess.

It was cute, the little boy in the parade in front of her was a frog and people thought they were together. The princess and the frog prince.

Final on Halloween I asked her if she was going to be a Fairy or a Princess. "A princess" she said. So I got her pink princess outfit out again and she said "No mommy, I already did that one. I want to be princess Belle." Luckily we had that pretty yellow dress as well. And I keep asking, why I even bothered buying her the fairy outfit?? Oh, well. One more item to add to the dress up box.

The only group pictures we could get.

And here is Zachery in his CUTE puppy dog costume.

Jared came home with costumes for us as well.

We enjoyed our time trick-or-treating and then finished off the evening at a fun Halloween Fair that one of the churches put on.
