Happy Halloween

Hailey loves the movie "Hotel Transylvania" so she decided to be Mavis (teenage vampire).  Of course everyone really thought she was a witch.

Josh was anti-Halloween.  We couldn't get him to tell us what he wanted to be, so in the end he just put on a black-hooded cape and looked unhappy.

 Megan threw a Halloween party for some friends.  She's little Red Riding Hood.

Julie and her friend Allie were genies.  They love the jingly belts so much, I think they're going to wear them to school on Monday.

We almost didn't carve pumpkins this year.  I've not felt well most of the week.  But I couldn't disappoint Josh.  So after work today I frantically gutted 5 pumpkins and carved faces into 3 of them.  Not bad for a worn out mom!

Pumpkins

We normally get pumpkins at the end of September, but this year our favorite farm was slow on the pumpkin harvest.  Then I had to go back to work and stay extra late for parent teacher conferences.  So it's the middle of October before we picked out our pumpkins this year.

Tom's disappointed I said no to a straw bale and corn stalk this year.  (I had just vacuumed out the van and didn't want my efforts to go to waste!)

Julie

Hailey's smile might be inspiration for some jack-o-lanterns this year!  She still hasn't had those top front teeth come in yet!

 Cutest kids in the patch!

Everyone decided to choose smaller pumpkins this year.  I guess the kids finally realized bigger pumpkins equal more goop to scoop.
