Halloween Sunday

Today, it was fun to dress up in our matching Halloween church clothes (I know, that is a funny concept, Halloween church clothes!) I made the boys ties, baby girl's dress and headband, and my flower pins out of the same material, and we wore orange and black. We got quite a few compliments, and got to have a little family fun for church. Heard some great speakers at Stake Conference, then got to have some friends and the Elders over for dinner. Dinner was really good and pumpkin themed. Black bean pumpkin chili, and rice and beef pilaf cooked inside a whole pumpkin. The pumpkin is a Halloween tradition for our friends that they shared with us, which we are going to adopt. It was really tasty, and really fun. We only got one little trick or treater though, which was a bummer for the boy; he really wanted to pass out candy.

We love a theme!

We have fun in our family theme costumes! The boy was A-stinkin'-dorable in his white rabbit costume, and baby girl made a fine Alice. The downtown businesses and the retirement homes did trick or treating today, so we did that, and the carnival at the high school. What a fun Halloweekend!

Trick or treat, baby's sweet!

I couldn't get over how stinkin' cute baby girl looked in her little outfit today. I bought it last year after Halloween, when I found out I was having a girl, so it was super cheap, but she looks so cute in it! She is such a sweet girl, she sat for a long time for pictures. I have the cutest kids!

Down the rabbit hole

Tonight was the "Harvest festival" at church. It was really clever. Instead of trunk or treat, they decorated all the classrooms like front doors and had people handing out candy. There were games and crafts, as well as a pumpkin carving contest. Unfortunately the only picture someone took of all of us is fuzzy, but I love this one I got of baby girl and daddy. I imagine it is just the way Alice would look at the Mad Hatter!

I found it!

The boy picked out the perfect pumpkin. He was so excited! We had to replace the ones we carved, the weather has been so weird lately, hot cold hot cold, that they just fell apart. The boy is really stoked for Halloween this year. I think this is the first year he really "gets" it. Every day he asks if it is Halloween night yet.

Pumpkin time!

One of our favorite things to do is carve pumpkins for Halloween. The boy wanted a classic jack o'lantern...the scarier the better. He wanted sharp scary teeth. Daddy and he did that one. Momma and baby girl did a spider and a web. We have a few more pumpkins to carve, but we just did two for tonight. They turned out pretty cute!!

Lil' punkin' head

Baby girl looked so cute in a little Halloween outfit and pigtails. I love Halloween, so the entire month of October is full of pumpkins, black cats, and witches around here!
