Halloween 2008

Pumpkins, Pirates and Witches, OH MY!

We had a great halloween! The weather was fabulous for trick or treating! Winter coats weren't part of the costume this year; you gotta love that. ;)

Here are some pictures of the kids hunting for the perfect pumpkin-



Sammy was quite the gentleman and helped Emma navigate through the many squished pumpkins


If only you could hear her... AAAHHHH!! It stopped her dead in her tracks...

What better way to top of the day than with some "Mummy Dogs" for dinner. The kids LOVED them.
Ok, Jim and I did too... :)




"Carving" their perfect pumpkins. I'm so glad we got these kits this year. Sammy and Emma are not big fans of their hands being dirty. So, they loved creating their funny faces on the pumpkins without the mess.













On Halloween we took the kids to their parties at school even though it was Friday and they aren't normally there. It was nice for them to get to see all of their teachers and friends all dressed up!

Here they are fresh up from a nap, raring to go!!!
Looking mildly annoyed at the lady taking too many pictures.. hmmm



What a poser, he did this all on his own.



Emma at her school party filling up her bag with some loot!

Sammy coloring a pumpkin at one of the activity stations.



Posing with their pumpkins before heading out to go trick or treating!






After they were done trick or treating they sat on the porch and yelled "Happy Halloween" to everyone that walked by. :) Jim said that Emma pooped out about halfway down the street and since only real witches have brooms, he thought ahead and brought the next best thing - Her wagon! So, Emma sat in the wagon and Sammy asked each house for some candy for his little sister. Jim said he even went back and rang the doorbell if he forgot to get her some the first time. How sweet is my boy?

Love to you all,

I am so lucky to have THE CUTEST Niece & Nephew in the World! It is so fun to see the pictures, I felt like I was there with you. You're such an Awesome Mom, Heather! I hope someone (hint, Jim) tells you that every day.
I had an aweful Halloween since I went hope with Strep & Sinus Infection that day. Nate had to pull thru for me. I tell him every day that he is a super Dad (JK)! The kids were OK with it but they got about 1/2 as much CANDY as they do with me, since I know where everyone lives.
Love you guys! I look forward to seeing pics from the next adventure, probably SNOW!
Love, Jen
