Amannda got a pumpkin from the kbull 93 pumpkin drop, so we didn't have to brake tradition and go a Halloween with out a jack-o-lantern. Oct 30 at around 10:00 pm we finally carved our pumpkin! Dad helpped make a scary face. The kids had a great time staying up late.
We got the jack-o-latter pizza from papa Murphy's for lunch. The kids were excited to bake there orange chocolate chip cookies that they got for going in dressed up in there costumes.
All day long the kids had big smiles on their faces. It was lots of fun for me to see them having such a fun day!
Hannah got all dressed up to head of for school. She was excited to be a cat this year. We got this cute costume from My sister. All I had to do was make the ears and tale. So much less sewing than last year! Hannah was really excited to wear fake eyelashes. She was so good with getting them on, but they only lasted until about 11:00. She called me from school and said that they were bugging her and she wanted them off. I was glad that I had instructed her not to pull them off on her own. With makeup remover they come off very easily, but pulling them off will rip the skin off and possibly some eyelashes out. She was good to give me a call. When I took them off she made a deal that she would put them back on for the evening, so her dad could see how cute she is!
We made a second trip to Hannah's school to see the Halloween parade. It is always fun to see all the kids and teachers dressed up.
After the parade I took Hannah out of school so that we could head over to the cornbelly maze. I got tickets two tickets from the pumpkin drop, so we figured we had better use them. Hannah really wanted to go into this scary dragon. Connor and Bonnie really had no desire. I told Bonnie to close her eyes, and dragged Connor by the arm into this scary dragon. As you get in it gets very dark. You really can't see well, so I told Hannah to stay close so that I didn't lose her. In the middle of the dragon is the beating of the dragons heart. That kind of freaked the kiddos out, but then as we turned the corner there was some kind of air and quick noise that startled me. I screamed all the kids started crying. At that point all I could do is laugh. We found our way out of the belly of the dragon. I made the kids all go and stand in front of it so that we could have a picture to remember the scary dragon that they all hated. They talked about that dragon all night long!
The kids ended up having a lot of fun. They really enjoyed the princess area. Both the girls dressed up and Connor loved climbing up in the tower. They played for over two hours and when I told them that we had to go home to get ready to go trick or treating they didn't want to leave.

For the evening we head over to Paul's brother's house Mike. It was lots of fun to have everyone together. We all had taken time to dress up in costume. We took the kids around the neighborhood to go trick or treating. They got lots of fun treats. I must say that my very favorite was the new tooth brushes. The little boy that passed them out was even very careful to give the girls princess ones and Connor got a batman tooth brush. I believe he has taken it to bed every night since he got it. The evening was wonder we couldn't have asked for better weather. Well, it was a little rainy by our house, but at Mike's it didn't rain until just as we were going back home.
Paul had decided it would be fun to get into the spirit of Halloween and dress up this year. He spent three weeks growing out his facial hair, so that he could transform into Wolverine.
Before heading home the girls tried out Mike's coffin. I was told it was pretty comfortable. Connor is the scary skeleton in the back!
All in all Halloween was a really fun day for the family!
