Trick or Treat!









Zack wanted to be Link from the Nintendo game Zelda this year. I loved that idea and as soon as Maycee heard that she decided that she wanted to be Princess Zelda. It was so fun coming up with these costumes. It really only took me a couple of hours to sew Zack's and it turned out awesome. They even had the pointy ears! So cute! Avery was a little bear this year. Don't ya love the hand-me-downs? I made this costume for Zack about 6 years ago. She loved it- I was surprised that she didn't mind wearing the hat at all. And, she loved growling like a bear at everyone.

I Love a Parade...Halloween Style





Zack and Maycee both had Halloween costume parades for their schools. I love to go and see all the costumes that creative people come up with.

The Great Pumpkin...search!










Last Friday we took the kids and my niece, Emma, to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins for jack-o-lanterns. We had never been to this patch before, but we will definitely go again. As you can see, it's huge! But, our kids picked out their pumpkins in about 30 seconds. Then, they wanted to pick out more. Too bad they could just get one. I think we'll make this a tradition. It's much better than picking out a pumpkin out of the big bins at Walmart!!
