Halloween Fun

We were away visiting family the weekend before Halloween, so that meant the boys were up late the night before carving pumpkins. Owen wanted to carve a scary face & Noah wanted a bat. Gavin suggested carving a bat signal & Noah loved the idea :) They dug right in & pretty much did all of the yucky work themselves. They needed a bit of help scraping the sides clean, but for the most part did it all. 


Silly boy wanted me to take a photo of him pretending to eat the goop. Yuck!


After carving the pumpkin, they gathered enough seeds & roasted them for a tasty treat :)

The finished pumpkins!


The kids were to wear black & orange at Owen's school on Halloween (they don't wear costumes to school) so I dressed them all in their Halloween shirts. Looking at the camera all at the same time is impossible for my guys.


Grayson's 1st Halloween trick-or-treating :) This monkey costume has made it through all 3 of the kids first Halloweens - I'm sad to say it will be moving on to a new family :( Look how adorable my little monkey is! he loved wearing it. He went to a few of the neighbours houses & then came back home to help me hand out candy. 

This year Owen wanted to be a witch. While shopping for costumes my little boy saw the witches broom & wanted me to buy it for him. I wasn't going to buy it just to have a broom & so owen decided that he would be a witch for Halloween. The evening of Halloween was wet & cold, last minute Owen thought it would be a good idea to leave the broom at home - so it wouldn't get wet & dirty ;) That's my boy! It was also windy & his hat kept blowing off so it was delivered back to the house & all he wore was the cape. I don't think anyone could tell he was a witch but it didn't seem to bother him.



Noah was the cutest clown ever! clown costumes aren't as popular as they used to be & it made me smile that he wanted to be a clown. 


Hannah and her Mom joined us for Halloween again this year & the kids enjoyed their evening together. Doesn't Hannah make a cute Cinderella?

I love this cute photo of them all waiting at the door





Grayson enjoyed his first treat - an Aero chocolate bar

Post chocolate daze

Owen & Noah dumped their candy out on the floor and sorted it all, Grayson thought he'd do the same with his candy :) soooo cute! he only had about four or five different things in his bucket, but I love how he wants to do everything his older brothers are doing :)


Happy Halloween!
