Halloween!!

The kids had a great time trick or treating last night! Lily dressed up as Merida, the princess from Brave:

Riley was a ghoul:

And Zach was a skeleton:

What Zach really wanted to go as was a walking coffin. So, Jeff built one for him out of cardboard:

Of course walking in the coffin only lasted around our street. That's why we had the back-up costume of him being a skeleton inside the coffin. =)

Here are the kids' pumpkins lit up with glow sticks. (Zach's is supposed to be purple, and it was, but the picture makes it look pink.)

All three kids had fun & got a lot of candy! They got hot chocolate and ate candy while watching a movie afterwards. I love that they don't have school the day after Halloween! =)

Halloween Fun!

Last night, we carved our pumpkins! Lily actually helped clean hers out this year!

I love their faces in these pictures. They don't look too happy about sticking their hands in that gooey mess. (Not that I blame them, of course!)

Zach was a serious pumpkin cleaner this year!

While we were carving our pumpkins, these three cuties came to our house to do a little early Trick or Treating!

When we got back inside, the kids got down to business, deciding what they were going to carve.

Lily is even a girly-girl in her pumpkin carving. She drew eyelashes on her pumpkin & made me carve them out too. 

I carved Lily's pumpkin, but the boys did most of their own carving.

Here are their pumpkins!

Lily's girl jack-o-lantern:

Riley's vampire:

(Shocking...I know...)

And Zach's wizard hat, moon, and star:

I can't wait to light them up tonight! (We use glow sticks so they have colored lights in them, but I didn't have enough to light them up twice.)

Later on, we went to Halloween Street to see all of the houses decorated for Halloween!

Now all we have to do is get our costumes on & go Trick or Treating tonight!!

Speaking of candy, Emma was trying to eat all of our candy this morning! ;0)

Happy Halloween!!
