Oh the Fun We Had....Halloween 2011

Time flies! It was been way to long since I posted so I have some catching up to do! We will start with Halloween! The first item on the agenda was to pick out and carve pumpkins! The boys both picked out their pumpkins and then instructed me on how they wanted their jack-o-lanterns made by telling me “round eyes, cat eyes, fangs/no fangs, etc.” I had to do most of the work since neither of them will pull the “guts” out of the pumpkins! Both said it was “yucky” and I should do it. They both really enjoyed they outcome however and wanted to keep the pumpkins in the house so they could see them glow at night.

This year Koen said he wanted to dress up as a ghost which came as a surprise since he is scared of almost everything. I went online and found a nice “Friendly Ghost” costume and showed him and he said “No, I want to be a scawee (scary) ghost!” So we searched some more and found a “ghoul” costume that he liked. He was very pleased with his costume and told me “I won’t scare the babies and little kids but the big kids are going to be SO scared! They are going to say “AAAAhhh and scary ghost! But it will just be me!” He is so cute! :o)

Tegan had a very hard time deciding what he wanted to be. First he said he wanted to be a lion then he said a shark and finally he settled on an elephant. He practiced stomping his feet while leading up to Halloween to make sure he was ready. On Halloween night we got together with Adam, Kristen, Lisa and Drew and let all the kids make their own ice cream sunday’s and go trick or treating. All of the kids had a great time and were very good while we trick or treated. They were just sad when it was over. We should be able to knock on random strangers doors all year round for candy right??
