Halloween!!!

I absolutely love Halloween. I love dressing my kids up. I love it when they come up with great ideas for costumes. I love putting those costumes together with the kids. I love decorating pumpkins. I don't really like scary stuff, so I tend not to focus on that part of things (I could write a book entitled 25 different reasons to wear fairy wings.)

We decorated pumpkins early last week. Golden wanted a simple one, Lincoln wanted a scary one, Shaunie wanted one with eyelashes, Gage wanted a blue one, and I did some crazy thing without a face. Sadly, I forgot to take pictures of our finished products, but here are some examples of the process.

Everyone is working intensely on their pumpkin when all of a sudden...

Gage reaches over and paints Daddy's face blue. For no reason. It was funny.

Lincoln and Shaunie wielding swords at gourds.

And now, for the costumes...

I was a Greek Godess. Or Mother Nature. Take your pick. (hint... this is a very easy costume if its October 30th and you don't have a costume)

Lincoln was Mr. Potato Head. Next to him is his lovely bride, Mrs. Potato head (aka Ashton)

Shaunie was a spider girl type thingy.

Gage was Iron Man (ask him to sing the song for you some time).

Lacie was a witch. Her cousin Mason was a black cat.

Yet another successful holiday!
