Halloween Fun

This weekend started our Halloween festivities for the year. The kids were excited to carve our pumpkin. They helped scoop the pumpkin "guts" out, but Easton didn't like it... too squishy, he said! Then they each drew an eye, and Blake drew the nose and they both helped with the mouth. I carved out the face they drew and Blake named it Chloe! She's currently on the front porch "scaring people!" ha ha.

St. Ann's had its' annual Monster Mash last night and Grandma and I took the kids. There were bounce houses and trunk-or-treating, but we left before the dance and costume contest (for bigger kids!) The kids were excited to wear their costumes and trick-or-treat! (Easton also gets to trick-or-treat at school and Blake gets to enjoy costume day at ballet this week, plus trick-or-treating on Halloween!)

Here is the inspiration for their costumes: Jake and Izzy from "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" on Disney Junior.

and here's my Jake and Izzy!

The costumes were a hit at the Monster Mash, nobody else was dressed as Izzy or Jake, and lots of kids pointed them out "Look there's Jake! Hi Izzy!" very cute! Easton loved his hair that we spiked up like Jake's. He kept asking if we loved his "pirate hair" and he was upset with me when I messed it up putting on his pi's at night.
