Halloween Festivities!

I figure I should post our Halloween pictures before Thanksgiving arrives! We've just had a lot going on lately and I am finally getting around to blogging!
Halloween is only one day right?! Well we celebrated it almost everyday here for a week! Between school, church, and community parties...and finally trick-or-treating it was a week long celebration!

Caleb turned into a little pumpkin head! Funny kid!

Presenting: Toy Story--Woody, Jessee, & Buzz!!
Ty's school always does a Halloween carnival which is always a lot of fun!

I love going over to the insurance agency here and picking out pumpkins! It's a great fund-raiser, all the money goes to Angel Tree.

There are so many pumpkins to choose from it's always a hard choice!

We went to Ty's school and watched the Halloween Parade. It was fun seeing all the creative and cute costumes!

Ty's class had a Halloween party, but they had so many mom's helping out I didn't stay. It's always fun for Mara & Caleb to see Ty at school.

Now it's pumpkin carving time! We cheated and printed off patterns off the computer! It worked out really well for the kids, they had fun choosing the faces and I helped them carve the faces.

Mara didn't want a jack-o-lantern face! She chose a moon and bat, which was actually harder than it looked!!

The kids took their pumpkin carvings over to the church for the Halloween Party. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of their finished pumpkins with candles!

They had a costume parade at the church party. Here goes Jesse strutting her stuff!!

And I must say...Caleb makes one cute Buzz Lightyear! "To Infinity and Beyond!"

Here are two cute cowboys!! Ty with Caleb's little friend Will!

And here is the rest of the Toy Story Family: I dressed up as Malibu Barbie! It was kind of fun being a blond for a night!
And I was so proud of Nate! He not only came up with his costume but made it himself! He is Sid--the neighbor next door that blows up toys! I LOVE IT!
It was sure fun all dressing up as a family! The kids talk non stop about what they want to be next year as a family....I guess we'll just have to see what we can come up with! Glad it's a year away and I don't have to think about it now!

It's finally Halloween Night! Yay! It's trick-or-treating time!! The kids were so excited but I think Nate was the most excited! He took the kids this year and we put a big bowl of candy on the porch and I laid on the couch sick, sick, sick!!!

The kids actually made two rounds of trick-or-treating! They came home and dumped out all their candy to show me, and then Nate said "Come on guys! Let's go get more candy!" So they went back out and got twice as much! They all had a fun time and the weather was perfect!
