Halloween FUN

I decided to take the kids to Disneyland for some spooktacular fun on Friday before Halloween. This was probably not one of my brighter ideas since Disneyland closed at 7 for Mickey's Halloween Party BUT, we ended up having a great time and we talked Aaron into going in the Haunted House. The decorations were awesome! That was my first time seeing it decorated asThe Nightmare Before Christmas and guess who ended up liking it? Aaron! He wants to take Mike on it now.

Here are our trick-or-treaters! We went trick-or-treating with our friends the Hernandez family. The kids had a great time and our neighborhood did not disappoint! I was happy to see Aaron get use out of his Jedi costume once again and Connor wore Aaron's skeleton costume from last year. Aubrey was our little pink princess thanks to Grandma's mad sewing skills!

 Nothing like waiting to the last minute to carve pumpkins. On Hallow's Eve we got busy scooping, cutting, poking, slicing, gutting, mwuh-ha-ha and finally lighting our jack-o-lanterns. Aaron had the idea to have a happy face on one side of his jack-o-lantern and a scary face on the other side. Mike suggested placing the happy face towards oncoming trick-or-treaters and then as they'd leave, they'd see the scary face. Aaron really got into the Halloween spirit and helped me with a lot of the front yard decorations! I wish we would have gotten a picture! bah. It got to be late so I decided to make mine in the morning.

I really wanted to make a pretty pumpkin this year. Had smoochy lips all prepared and everything but Connor thought it was way to nice and frankly not my style. He was absolutely right! What was I thinking? So I turned Vicky into a vampire much to Connor's delight.
