pumpkins

This year we had A TON of pumpkins...

2 pumpkin patches plus Uncle Jim (and Aunt Barb) bought the kids each a pumpkin too!

I really think we had 12 pumpkins!!

We ran out of time to carve the pumpkins---our nights are just too busy!



SO--we PAINTED our pumpkins!

I saw this on another blog and thought they looked SO CUTE!!!

It was really FUN!

I hope my kids will want to do this again next year.  In my opinion, better than carving!

All 5 of us painted--it was great family FUN!!!

U N T I L.....we found paint on the rug (under the kitchen table).

Oh well, I'll flip the rug around and no one will EVER notice---that is if I EVER EVEN

get to flipping the rug!!

Aren't they SO CUTE!

Paige showing off her pumpkin before the bus comes for school!

Mom did the little polka dot pumpkin....

Paige quickly followed on her pumpkin!

Side note:  Paige is VERY Into copying ME!!  If I am wearing black boots and tights, she wants to wear black boots and tights.  The other day I was wearing a white tee shirt and jeans and guess what she wanted----the problem is...she doesn't always have what I have and then we have melt downs!!!  And, sometimes I feel "dorky" showing up places in the "same outfit" as Paige!!!  It is quite funny though!

I love that girl!

Some of the kids may have left before I remembered to get a picture!

It's such a FUN time for the kids---something more than just TRICK OR TREATING!

Halloween---at school

The Halloween FUN starts at SCHOOL.!!

A parade in the gym and then PARTIES in the classrooms.

This year I had 3 parties to attend at one time!  I am not kidding when I say,

"the next party I will wear tennis shoes". 



One CUTE KITTY CAT!

Ms. Williams' Afternoon class

 Jaden wanted to be a FOOTBALL PLAYER--so he wore Tyler's uniform.

#28 is his new buddy---Carson Roy

Caleb, Carson, and Jaden

Tyler wants to be a Werewolf next year--I am guessing this is why!!

Tyler and Jacob Fawson

Mrs. Whelan--we love her.

She had to wear this witches hat and the kids got to throw rings on her hat.  Pretty funny!

I told the kids last year we were done spending lots of money on Halloween costumes.  I just think it's a waste.  So, Tyler wanted to be a VAMPIRE this year.  Great!  We have a black "cape" already--we just needed teeth and paint!  EASY!  Well, Tyler was determined to have a REAL vampire cape. So much so that he spent his own money to buy this cape.  It was super cute (well, if a vampire can be cute!)  I helped him get $5 off the cape so he only had to pay $3!!!
