Halloween!

Our Halloween fun stretched over a couple of weeks and it was a good time! Below, we were at the local Forest Lawn Cemetery for their annual pumpkin decorating contest. They kids were ready to do their best decorating!

Travis was giving Maizie some pointers from the sidelines. Jack made a ninja pumpkin. It was pretty cool.

Beau was quickly bored with decorating and just decided to color his entire pumpkin black. Oh well, there's always next year! The kids didn't win any prizes but they had a good time, well 2 out of 3 had a good time.

Travis bought some spider webs to decorate the house and it looked so spooky! The kids had a great time decorating. This was their favorite part of Halloween I think.

Travis had some very creative ideas and the house looked very Halloween-y!

Pumpkin carving & decorating! Aunt Nikki sent us these potato-head pumpkin decorating things a couple of years ago and they have been so great!! You just poke the potato-head parts into the pumpkin and they look so cute! We still carved a couple though. Everyone liked getting gooey with pumpkin guts.

The one eyed monster and the pirate potato head guy were Beau's creations. The princess was of course Maizie's and the jack-o-lantern face was Jack's. Travis insisted on painting my big ol' belly. It was lovely. really.

All the kids at the carnival on Halloween! Travis & I volunteered at a booth while the kids meandered around the carnival (it was a small one so it was safe). They got a ridiculous amount of candy before we even went trick-or-treating!! Jack is a white ninja from GI Joe, Beau is Batman and Maizie is Tinkerbell.

After the church carnival we went around the neighborhood a bit with Tiffani. They kids loaded up even more and unfortunately Beau had to quit early due to a candy induced belly ache. Luckily, Tiffani was with us to take Beau home so that the other kids could enjoy a few more streets. It was a super fun holiday!
