Halloween!!

Happy Halloween

Yes, I'm finally blogging about Halloween. Granted it was a couple of weeks ago, but hey but late than never is always my philosophy.

Michael was a rock star. Alex was Obi-wan. Emily was little red riding hood.

We picked pumpkins from a great pumpkin patch, backyard pumpkin patch.

Boy oh boy!! Those pumpkins would not give up their vine. After dragging it across the yard it they finally let go.

Maybe not the biggest and roundest but hey I wasn't tricked into paying for those fraud patches were they just toss them out of trucks. This was the real deal, vines and all.

We went to the school parade. The kids were very excited!!

Take a quick look as all the kids run past!

Emily missed walking in the parade so we went to her class and took a picture!

After school we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to carve pumpkins, play games, and make a craft. Zach, Tonya, and Amanda must have got this beauty at the store. See how round and perfect it is.

Michael loved the pumpkin guts the best! Ahhh, Smells good! NOT!

Grandpa, always the perfectionist follows the proper protocol and procedure for pumpkin carving.

Alex, go get those nasty pumpkin guts!!

We even got Mike involved! It was a hard task but proof is in the picture!

After carving his pumpkin, Michael wrote a whole story on his pumpkin about who this pumpkin was and where he came from.

Alex loved his teeny, tiny pumpkin!

Emily's proud display!

Grandpa's pumpkin mouth! Yumm!!

We all made Halloween pictures! How exciting!

Alex was very scary!

Emily chose a cute pumpkin. Ohhh! How precious!

Then we ate donuts on a string. Tonya, Amanda, Alex, and Grandpa. Go get them!!

It took Alex forever, but he stuck with it until the end. We never take food from this guy!!

Finally!!! This is much easier than chasing it around the string.

Emily and Michael ate sugar free life savers off the string. That took all of 5 seconds! Done!!

And what party would be complete without bobbing for apple quarters. Michael took forever. He was not about to get his face wet. However the higher your hinney the better chance you have.

Emily was so proud of her apple quarter.

Zach dove right in the bowl for his.

Amanda swore she was the best at this game so you better watch out!

Halloween night we are all doped up on candy! One last picture face paint and all!

Alex loved going from house to house and getting candy. "That was so nice of all those people to just give us candy!" He was not happy to have to go home and call it quit.

Little red made it the whole way this year! And they even gave out pixie sticks! Which by the way are not made from sugar!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
