Halloween this year was an adventure. The main part of the adventure was desperately trying to get a picture of Scarlett with her costume on. She fought us tooth and nail until fortunately Aunt Kristi was able to snap a few pictures.

I wanted her to be a little fairy and Caleb wanted her to be a garden gnome. It was the ugliest costume in the world. We settled on a pirate, which was actually what Micaela was for her second Halloween as well. I'm just thankful that Scarlett is still young enough that we got to pick her costume. Micaela decided to exert some Independence this year and wanted to be Hannah Montana. Caleb, who is in denial and does not believe that our girls will ever grow up, said no. We compromised with Tinkerbell. Only if it was a Tinkerbell costume that could light up, of course.


I had to dress up as well, working with kids and all. I was a witch. Caleb did not dress up, but he took on a new role of "master carver" this year. Here are some of his creations, some are from the carving kit and some are original creations.




These pumpkins are dedicated to my father. May I say the were very popular in our neighborhood.
Hope everyone had as much fun and got as much candy as we did!
