We have an awesome Pumpkin Walk here in our town where people make scenes out of all kinds of pumpkins and squash. Its super fun and we took the kids one night
crafting with Jay
Ari fell asleep reading her book one night
We had a few days off of school and spent it doing some family fun things. The other kiddos were being shy with the camera, but here's Jay ice skating :)
Arianna's dance studio added a Halloween show this year! It was super fun! Ari's class danced to Cruella Deville
Carving our pumpkins
Jay shares this trait with Hailey where they stick out their tongue when they are concentrating hard. lol so cute
I helped Jay draw his face and then he cut it all out by himself! Pretty impressive!
I love the eyes and jagged mouth Hailey did
And Ari did a decorative cutout along the top of hers which she said were eyes- spooky!
Scott has a lot of patience always doing very intricate cutting
Then there's dad just getting down to business haha
Mom's is the little cat cutout
Jay is the king of dress up so of course he was super excited for Halloween! He's also the youngest so he has a huge helping of outfits to pick from! He got to have a party at school the day before and he was batman
Then while the older kids were at school, Jay and I got to trick or trick down main street. He was spiderman!
For me this is such a special time with my kids. I've gotten to do it with each of the kids, sometimes more than one at the same time. This time I was just relishing it up realizing it will be the last time I get to do it with Jay since he is heading off to kindergarten next year! Crazy!
Then one final costume change into a fireman for trick or treating :)
Scott the soldier, Hailey the man pirate, Jay the firefighter and Arianna the leopard
Hailey had a blast at school with some of the mom helpers actually thinking she was a boy. And at the grocery store and several other places. She thought it was the funniest thing on the planet. This girl... lol
Lots of candy so I guess you can say we had a successful Halloween
And then it's time to crash! (Mom's favorite!) :)
