All Hallows' Eve......

I love Halloween! Pumpkins and spiders and cobwebs oh my!

This is the kids leaving the house for the school bus that morning.... Seb looking skeletal and Bel the giraffe. Of course throughout the day they switched costumes about ten times each and I lost count of how many times I had to repaint Bel's face! 

About to head out Trick or Treating with friends......

 Silas, oops I mean Yoda, loved his first Halloween experience. Isn't it funny that Bel wore this costume when she was three and it fits my chunky 7 month old just right! 

Jack-o-lanterns!!

Feeling like Fall......

Halloween part 3.....

Trick or Treat!

Here's the house in finished full spooky mode complete with a bowl of treats as we were about to abandon the place to wander the neigborhood with our friends Darth and Yoda.  Before we did set off we got caught by some early bird treaters, a headless man and a cute kitty, (notice Kitty's dad hanging back by the driveway in his pointy-hated princess frock :)

And now for the big reveal.......DA-DAaaaaa!!!
Darth Vader and Yoda!

And off we set to spook up the place...

Hmmmmm, caught red handed eating the candy before we even got home. NEIL.



Seb decided to abandon the mask after about two houses....so Neil became Daddy Darth Vader...

This was by far the spookiest house on the block. they had a smoke machine, spooky howling noises, skeleton ghosts and a life size, very realistic Ghoulish butler by the door. Neil was the only one of us brave enough to approach, he'll do anything for candy.

The best pumpkin award goes to this proud Mama pumpkin who had just given birth to a beautiful orange baby! I was impressed!

By this time it was getting pretty late and dark so we headed back home to eat our stash and check out our pumpkins now glowing in the darkness of All Hallows Eve...

Halloween, part 2.....

Time to decorate!
Mwah-ha-ha-ha-haaa! (that was my attempt at writing in a spooky vampire laugh, in case you were wondering.)
