Halloween fun

So here is our start to Halloween Day. We waited until the day of Halloween to carve our pumkins. Ben could not wait any longer. Josh's and my schedule are opposite so it leaves very little together time as a family some days in this case most of this week but Ben was very paitent with us.

Katie of course had to throw in a tantrum. I think she was worried that Ben was the only one who got to carve by himself......

Ben did really great this year with getting all that gross stuff out. I just realized that I don't have any pictures of Josh on Halloween. It's usually the other way around, he cleaned out most of the pumkins....Thanks Josh!

Mmmmmmm Good!

Of course Josh got some cute pictures of Ben and most of his skeletons (aka Ha Ha). But he's starting to get a big collection it makes me a little nervous. How many kids collect skeletons?

Both the kids picked out the stencils for their pumpkins. Of course Katie picked a hard one so it did't turn out that great. Josh doesn't like the stencils he likes the plain old toothless faces.

Anyways we had a good Halloween! We had some friends over before we went out and had some potato soup. I made it all by myself it is a very easy recipe. And the kids made their own pizzas. Then we went around our neighborhood. Some of the kids were afraid of our house because we have a loud witch that makes a laughing/howling sound, so we had to shut it off. Katie was a little spooked as we started out because a Grim Reaper was following us around while making our first stops. So we had to ask the kid to show her his face to show it was a person, poor girl! But she does that even if kids are playing around her with any costume with a mask. We were at a friends house and all the kids were dressed up playing spiderman, batman, Turtle and she got freaked everytime they got near her....to funny.
