Halloween 2013

Halloween was especially fun at our house this year, thanks to a certain 2 year old.  Jens was so funny, he was totally into Halloween and knew exactly what was going on.  He had been watching a Little Einsteins Halloween episode and he was into it!  First up, pumpkin carving...

There was no hesitation here! He loved helping Dad carve his pumpkin! You can see his lovely artwork that he enjoyed before the carving began.  He may have had some help from Sissy.

The big night!  Here's Pierce, the Ninja!

Madi was a lovely Dorthy this year, and she was beautiful!  She had wanted me to buy her these red sparkly shoes early in the year and I told her I would buy them only if she would wear them for Halloween and be Dorthy.  She liked that idea and that is how Ryan and I became the Scarecrow and Elfeba.  We had tried going for the whole matching family thing again this year, but Pierce was not going for that.  We were lucky to have our wonderful neighbors, the Hancocks, bring their cute puppy, Jersey (who we all adore!) over for some pictures with Madi.  Jersey is a perfect little Toto!

Jens was so funny about his costumes this year.  He was very excited when I first got out Madi's old Rocket costume for him, he loved it!  But after wearing it for about 2 minutes he was done, I think he didn't like being slowed down.  I had just enough time to snap one picture and he took it off.  I told him he could not go Trick or Treating with out a costume, so he decided on the puppy.  Madi was happy about that since Jersey couldn't go Trick or Treating with her, now she still had a Toto!

After a fun night of Trick or Treating we come home and enjoyed our traditional Halloween sugar cookies.  Here's Pierce with his goods and his angry cookie.

And here's Miss Madi, too busy organizing her candy to look at Mom, and very pleased with her happy face pumpkin cookie.

A very happy Halloween!
