Halloween Fun!

Halloween is quite the affair around our house.  It isn't because we are huge "Halloween people", but there just seems to be a ton of things going on around this time, and we celebrate it in 100 different ways.  It's always a great time for the kids, but Mom is generally never sorry to see November 1...  

Here is a look at some of our festivities from Halloween 2013:

Prepping for Hannah's school pumpkin contest

This year she chose to decorate her pumpkin as Lightning McQueen

Incidentally, do you know how hard it is to turn a pumpkin into a racecar?

Next to the competition (and no, we didn't win - we never win, but it isn't for lack of trying)

Megan's annual two seconds spent helping to clean out the pumpkins - gee, thanks Meg!


This year they wanted Lalaloopsy pumpkins, which happened to match their costumes (coincidence?  not when left in the hands of this Momma)


Annual Halloween get-together with Haley & Mikayla

...and "the sisters" in their matching Halloween vests
Jewel Sparkles is ready to trick-or-treat!
No, like she is reeeeally ready

Jewel Sparkles and Pillow Featherbed

The wigs turned out to be a major pain in the rear AND it was raining, so we ditched them and got on with our business

Our neighbors spooky garage - Megan is still talking about this months later


Love Pillow's pajama costume - perfect for our Hannah
Trick-or-treating with her little boyfriend, Nico

Sorting the loot - very important to keep an eye on Daddy during this process
Hannah quickly figured out it was a lot less effort to just steal candy right from OUR bowl
