I love when Halloween is on a Saturday. I actually have time to do everything I want to do. I miss living in Vegas where we'd always get Halloween off because it was Nevada Day.
This year we actually carved pumpkins,
which we haven't done in a few years.
We invited our friends the Morley's over for dinner,
complete with homemade rootbeer in a pumpkin.
Tyler was a ghost. He wouldn't wear his costume for long, so this was the best picture I could get. He shed it about ten minutes into Trick-or-Treating and asked for his coat instead.
Brock was Harry Potter. He found his wand (it's a stick)
when we went camping, and saved it for months.
He said a new spell from the book with every pose.
"Expelliarmus!"
"Expecto Patronum!"
Brock, Adam, and Nate, waiting for the toddlers to get dressed.
Tyler and Ella (or for tonight "Cinder-Ella")
This is Tyler's favorite song. Only the encouragement of "Sing it for Grandma!" would get him to sing it on camera. Of course, he hid behind his cracker the whole time, but I'll take what I can get!
Translation:
Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo!
I'm a ghost to scare you!
From Halloween town
I've come this night,
All dressed from head
to toe in white!
BOOOooooooo!
BOOOOooooo!
BOOO!
It was a good test for how we'd handle three kids. It's good to know that, when the time comes, we'll be able to handle it just fine.
