Halloween Night 2011

Shrek Dragon and Baby Shrek had fun tagging along with the big kids who had fun showing Tommy the ropes..."Now this is how you trick-or-treat." Shrek Dragon had a bit of a hard time keeping up with the big kids but, thank You, God, he remained cheerful and content throughout the activity. It had just a wee bit to do with the fact he was collecting candy and anticipated enjoying his bucketful of goodies!
No one wanted to slow down for a quick pic of the trick-or-treating...least of all Noah!


Fletcher, one of the Musketeers, was glad to switch from Shrek to more of an action figure...he just wanted to duel with his sword and found any opportunity to whip it out to battle the bad guys, namely his siblings!

After strongly urging him to wear Sarah's boots for the Shrek ensemble, he was an easy sell tonight when he put together a Musketeer's outfit. We copied the mustache idea from Sarah's Puss-n-boots character because people had asked her at the fall festival if she was a Musketeer. She opted for eyelinered whiskers tonight on her cheeks rather than the Puss-n-boots mustache. She was happy tonight when a teenager said to her friend, "Hey, there's a Puss-n-Boots!" Sarah was looking forward to being allowed to trick-or-treat alone with a friend this year for the first time. She hung with the family like a good sport for the hour or so that we all went together, and then met up with her friend, Olivia, our neighbor to finish trick-or-treating while we stayed home to pass out candy and put Noah to bed.



Love Noah's expression while the Musketeer holds him...Noah loves Fletcher; his face lights up when Noah interacts with his siblings.





Fletch loved his French mustache and was so pleased with it that he asked to "keep it on" overnight.

Pumpkin Fun

Our little pumpkin with Pay Pay's pumpkin. (Tommy calls Paris, "Pay Pay," so now we all do!)
I think our pumpkin is ready for his Superman costume...he looks like he is ready to fly away!

Paris and our friend, Chris Page, who joined in the family carving fun are proud of their creations.


Paris so carefully planned out her jack-o-lantern's face all by herself. She couldn't have been more thrilled with her results. :)



Halloween 2010

Our Cowgirl Diva was excited about getting to wear make-up!
Our Ninja and Batman loved wrestling together and being as wild as possible in their tough guy costumes!

Sarah enjoyed carving her What Would Jesus Do jack-o-lantern with her best friend, Chantal, and Charlie. We came home to the three of them engrossed in their pumpkin carving project and seed baking party. SO cute to see this Daddy daughter (and friend) activity happening at our kitchen table.


Fletcher joined in the fun and designed his Flash Gordon pumpkin complete with lightning bolts above the eyes. My favorite part is the cute crooked smile.



Our three superheroes were ready for action! Wonderwoman
