In the last couple of years my family has really gotten away from celebrating Halloween. We do, however, make a point to come together as a family that night. We all dress up and act goofy and this year we did carve pumpkins. The one rule we consistently follow: NOTHING SCARY! It is a night of family, fun and laughter! This year we were fortunate enough to have Uncle Jimmy and Cousin Jessie join us too! They decided a party looked like more fun than tromping around the woods trying to murder poor innocent animals! What a rowdy group we were! And fortunately, no animals were harmed during the making of this party!
DAD MADE THE MISTAKE OF FALLING ASLEEP WHILE WE WERE PUTTING COSTUMES TOGETHER . . .
HE WOKE UP WITH BLUE EYESHADOW!
HE WAS A GOOD SPORT THOUGH AND EVEN DONNED A WIG FROM OUR EVER GROWING WIG COLLECTION!
UNCLE JIMMY AND COUSIN JESSIE.
OUR WIG COLLECTION IS ACTUALLY QUITE IMPRESSIVE!
JACKSON DRESSED AS HIS CRAZY-HAIRED COUSIN DAISY.
SADIE JO WAS A BEE (IN HONOR OF HER BEE STINGS EARLIER IN THE YEAR).
DAISY WAS A FAIRY PRINCESS!
I WAS THE QUEEN OF CLEAN OF COURSE!
ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PARTS OF THE NIGHT IS SWAPPING WIGS . . .
AND BEING GOOFY! WE CERTAINLY DO LOTS OF GIGGLING!
MAKAYLA WAS A FOXY LADY. DAISY THOUGHT THE COSTUME WAS QUITE CONVINCING AND EVEN SNIFFED HER UM . . . TAIL!
GARRETT WAS ELVIS! AND HE WAS AN AMAZING ELVIS AT THAT! CHECK OUT THE CHEST HAIR!
CLAIRE WAS NI HAO KAI-LAN--FROM THE CRAZY CARTOON THAT TEACHES HER JAPANESE! AND YES, SHE DOES WALK AROUND SAYING RANDOM THINGS IN JAPANESE!
LAURA WAS A FARMER GIRL . . .
AND GABE HER LITTLE PUMPKIN!
I DO LOVE THAT THE PUMPKIN HAS A GREAT BIG AUNT TESS SMOOCH ON HIS CHEEK!
AND EVEN THOUGH HE WAS ON PATROL, DANNY MADE AN APPEARANCE AS BIGFOOT?
THE DOGS WERE VERY IMPRESSED WITH HIS SUIT!
AND THEN THE CARVING BEGAN!
THE FINISHED PUMPKINS!
I CARVED MY PUMPKIN TO LOOK LIKE MY FAVORITE OLDIE AT WORK!
LOUISE
