Halloween 2012

 Well, ours was a good Halloween this year. Filled with plenty of dressing up, pumpkin carving, and of course, treats! Here is a pic of our pumpkins we carved Sunday night with Uncle Kurtis and the gang. The order from left to right is Amy, Sam, Robert, mine. I had seen on Pinterest an idea to paint the outside of the pumpkins black. I think it turned out cool. I think next year we might try what our neighbors did and simply paint the pumpkins instead of carving them. We'll see. We also tried using glow sticks to light them this year. If you get the big stick ones they work pretty well, but the ones for bracelets aren't quite enough. So next year we will fiddle around with it more.

 Here's Sam in his Spiderman costume. Thanks so much to my parents for giving us my little brothers' costume all we had to get him was the face paint since no masks were allowed at preschool. He was so excited for his preschool Halloween party and had a great time!

 Here are both kiddos waiting to go trunk-or-treating. We also got to go to the Halloween storytime at the library. They had a "pumpkin patch" they went through and then got spider suckers at the end :)

And a sweet smile from Miss Amy at the trunk-or-treat. She was Snow White this year with a tutu I had seen online and thought was adorable! I had bought black hair spraypaint, but just didn't feel like it was worth the mess/risk/effort this year. I also decided at the last second to make myself a costume since I was supposed to help serve the apple cider with my Beehives (but nope, no pics of it). I opted for a ghost costume so that way no matter where I am in life (pregnant, not, etc) it will work. And it can be as simple or as involved as I want it to. I tried the hair spraypaint on myself for the first time ever (pinkish/purple) - it was kinda fun to go crazy with it! Hope you all had a fun Halloween, too!
