Our Halloween Fun

RJ entered the Pumpkin Carving Contest at his school this year with this bloody spider that has been stabbed with a plastic knife. Why are boys so morbid? I gave with the idea of turning his pumpkin into a spider but he insisted of painting blood and stabbing the thing.
Boy will be boys I guess.

Now on to our costume fun. This year a friend gave this awesome Ninja costume to RJ. He was in Ninja heaven and had a blast becoming a Ninja each time he wore it.

Savannah was a darling little witch this year. I found this gorgeous costume 50% off with one left in her size. I couldn't pass it up especially since it wasn't a cheaply made costume. Like last year she wanted to keep changing her outfits but we talked her in to staying a witch for each Halloween event we went to. And I think she is the prettiest witch around.

And our little munchkin sported the Giraffe costume this year. Each kid has worn this for their second Halloween. It has gotten some good use.

Our church held a Trunk-or-Treat Wednesday evening that we attended. Unfortunately is was raining a little so be brought the trick-or-treating indoors.

I think Zach was a little tired after all the trick-or-treating.

Friday morning I took Savannah and Zachery to the city Library for some Trick-or-Treating fun. Zachery did not want to wear the giraffe costume again. I think it was a little too hot for him. I manged to dress him up as a cowboy though.

Zachery has become our biggest sweet tooth. He is always asking for candy.

Friday afternoon RJ school had a Book Character Fashion Show and Fall Classroom Parties. I was able to attend both but don't have any pictures. You were only allowed to attend school in a costume if you had a book that went with it. And then the school had a fashion show and then walked the runway and showing off their costume and highlight their book. It was really fun. We have been reading the Magic Tree House series and RJ LOVES them. One of them is called Night of the Ninjas, so that is what RJ based is costume off of. It turned out that there were about 10 ninjas in the fashion show and they all chose the same book. There must not be a lot of ninja book out there.

Saturday we went to a Halloween Festival at the YMCA. It was a lot of fun but extremely crowded. The kids rode ponies, Zachery even rode one. They watched a magician show and walked trough a not-so-haunted maze. Because Halloween fell on a Sunday we didn't go out and trick-or-treat in the neighborhood. But we did have some friends over after church and enjoyed our traditional dinner in a pumpkin and grave yard pudding with them.

And that was our Halloween.
