Happy Halloween!

We had such a great Halloween this year! The kids were so excited about all the parties, candy & costumes. Here we are all dressed up for a family party. Our kids told us we were lame because we weren't dressing up! So Keith & I pulled these outfits together that afternoon. Not bad for a 50's girl and Harry Potter!

We carved & painted pumpkins last weekend! It's so much work & mess to carve so we just did one. Hannah picked a heart eye, Nick chose a circle eye, Jack chose a diamond nose & we compromised between a scary & happy mouth! What teamwork!

Jack was a cowboy, Nick was a skeleton & Hannah was an angel. Jack was terrified of Nick's costume and didn't want to wear his hat most of the time but he was a major trooper when it came to trick or treating! He lugged his pumpkin all around the neighborhood & ward trunk or treat. He wouldn't let anyone carry him or his pumpkin. What a hard worker! And he was so polite, always thanking people for all that free candy! :)

We got way too much candy & we couldn't have asked for better weather. Today it's rainy and cold but last night we didn't even need jackets! It was a very fun & fabulous Halloween!

You all look great! I'm very impressed that you blogged about Halloween the day after. Who knows when I'll get around to that :)

Looks like you had a great Halloween! I was just thinking the other day about Kieth's "Chicks on the run" costume a few years back:) It made me laugh:) You guys are so fun.

You guys all look so great! I love the picture of Jack holding the pumpkin, he looks adorable :) Miss you all (and need to return your vest) hope to see you soon!

Holy cow, you and Keith's "Throw something together really quick" costumes are awesome!! And the kids look darling, of course ... actually, Hannah and Jack look darling ... Nick looks pretty freaky, to be honest ... I don't blame Jack for being a little weirded out by that mask. P.S. We had Raising Canes last night (because of a fund raiser thing for Avery's school), thought of you guys, wish you could have joined us. =( Is it time for you guys to move back yet??

Your kids look so cute. I can see why Jack was afraid of Nick's mask. I think it is so fun that you and Keith both dressed up, you are cute!
