I love Halloween this year. Okay, I really have always loved Halloween but this year I have embraced it with open arms. I think all the excitement started with finding the cutest costume for Austin. He is a monster. People think he might be a bug, alien or a frog but he will growl at you to let you know that he is a monster. This first picture is at storytime with Dominic and Bethany the Penguins, Ella the Bee, Reagan as Tinkerbell and Austin the Monster. Let's just say storytime with 20 1 year olds can get a bit hectic but it really was fun!
Here is Austin taking a snack break from all the chaos.
After storytime they get to play with the toys and make a craft (or eat the craft).
This year my friend Heather and I planned an "adult only!" Halloween party. It is not very often we get to hang out with just the adults and have a really good time. Heather and I had so much fun making the decorations for the party. This picture is hard to see but there is a zombie in the window. Heather traced me on cardboard....I have not been traced since Elementary School and it made me giggle.
Here is a ghost we made. The funny part was trying to attach the ghosts to the ceiling. You did a good job Heather (and it only took you 4 hours) lol
Notice the "bleeding" candles we made. Spooky right?
The flaming cauldron.
Hans has been wanting to be Buddy the Elf for like three years now and we finally caved and bought him the costume. He studied up on some Elf quotes and stayed in character all night. He was funny. I am just a pioneer working the plains.
Hans and Jared. Classic
Heather and I and baby pumpkin Cluff
The group. I think I might need to plan a Halloween party every year. Nothing better than dressing up, acting silly and having fun.
The zoo here has something called Boo at the Zoo where they decorate the whole zoo into themes like Shrek, Disney Princess, Finding Nemo ect and the kiddos get to Trick or Treat. We had a great time and Austin LOVED it. He has now also discovered the beauty of candy (much to my dismay). Here is daddy and Austin with the talking pumpkin.
Mommy and Austin with the Shrek characters. I think Austi looks a little like Shrek.
Austin found a peacock to chase and that is why the smile in this picture.
We got Austin's pictures done at the Picture People this year to send out with our cards. What a cutie. We still can't wait to do church trunk or treat tomorrow and real trick or treating on Saturday!
