Blake's Halloween

Oh yeah...Blake got to celebrate Halloween too! He cuddled up to anyone who would hold him!

Next year I'll teach him how to get the candy!

Happy Halloween!

After several discussions, a few shopping trips, and last minute pressure to have a costume, I decided I wanted to be a Mummy this year. Mom and Dad told me I could use my favorite word..."Boo!" if I wore the costume!

I got to wear it 3 times....
At Trunk or Treat:

At Dad's Boo Bash for work:

The ghost of the factory. It's not every day a white-clad figure runs the hallways!

Showing off my strength!

The spook house! I loved it! It was full of people jumping at us, scary pictures on the wall, smoke, and scary music. We walked out the exit and I promply said, "More!" Grandpa--I'm ready to go Haunted Housing with you!

The obligatory M&M picture...

And for the real thing:

I'm going to be honest...I had already worn the costume a few times, I had already gotten candy, and I didn't take a good nap this day. All of these things added up to make me not so thrilled about trick-or-treating! Grammy helped me and Mia came with us! I hestitantly walked up to the door. They brought out the candy and told me I could pick two. Then they took the bowl away and I burst into tears because I wanted, "More!" So I got more.

Checking out the loot.
Caught eating sugar before bed!

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Getting in the mood...

Halloween is coming!

Mom and I made cookies...Mom is accepting the fact that black cat cookies may have 6 eyes and 4 noses when I help her.

Dad's work decorated for the holiday. Can you guess whose idea it was to put the Jason mask on the pinata?

Pumpkin Guts

Remember that pumpkin that I picked out at the pumpkin patch? Well, Mom and Dad tried to CUT IT OPEN!!!! After some severe protesting by me, Dad went and bought another one to use. Do you know what's inside the pumpkin?! Dad pulled out that first handful of gunk and I gave a nice "Ewwwww..." and moved several steps away. Luckily Dad handled that part of the pumpkin!

This is my "You're going to do what?!" face

I drew the pattern on the pumpkin. Triangle eyes, oval nose, and a toothy grin!

I attempted to carve it myself. The little toothpick tool thing they gave me didn't really work...
So I let Dad use his sharper tools to help.
The family with the finished product.
