HALLOWEEN!
Pumpkins:
Madi's version of the barfing pumpkin. Yum. If that doesnt make you want pumpkin pie, I dont know what will. Wonder who gave her that idea...???
Katelin's.
Do you see her name? Thats an original. Guess how much of her own carving she did. No really, guess.

Alissa's. She worked hard on carving hers as well. To give her credit, she did poke her own holes in it.

Zack's. A striking resemblance, dont you think?

Brylee's. Cute like her.

All together now!
After having to help carve that many pumpkins, we skipped out on doing our own this time.
Costumes:Madi the vampiress

Katelin, the 50's sock hop diva. Is it just me, or does she look too old in this picture?

Alissa, aka: Tinkerbell

Zack the Train Conductor...complete with Thomas snow boots. (:

"Fairy Princess" Brylee

Yes, we cheaped out on costumes this year. All we had going for us was the ward trunk-or-treat. Tinkerbell has definitely gotten her use from the 3 oldest. Did you recognize it? Zack was thrilled when he saw the train conductor hat, so we just went with it and added the overalls. Brylee is cute as is, so we just added a little wing action. She doesnt know whats going on anyway. Katelin was the lucky one who really got to be what she wanted. We figure that costume will get its use from the younger girls as well. Madison is excited to wear what she was really hoping for...a 50$ costume, next year, but I wont spoil it for her. You'll just have to wait and see!
That about sums it up. Anti-climatic, I know. Halloween was kind of a non-event for us this year. On the upside, Ryan got to have a somewhat normal birthday. Usually it gets thrown in with all the Halloween festivities, but this year, he actually got to celebrate his own day without sharing it with a holiday. Too bad he was sick. Guess thats what happens when you get old.
Hehehehe. Love you hun! (:

Your pumpkins look awesome. They could kick my lame pumpkins down the street. I am so impressed that you had the patience and ability to do that many. Also, I didn't think it looked like you went cheap on costumes. I think your kids always look great. You always do cute Halloween photo shoots too.
That's funny about Madi's barfing pumpkin -- (know you love pumpkin pie/not LoL)
Cool that Katelin did Sock Hop 50's too - is fun poodle. Like Alissa's teddy bear pumpkin - neat Zack got to be engineer LoL - Brylee looks so sweet - wow she is growing!!
