Halloween 2009


Believe it or not, this was the first year that we carved pumpkins with the kids. Well, they mostly watched. And after all that work, I realise why we never did it before. I thought Kaden would have a blast cleaning out the pumpkin guts, but he thought it was too gross. I made him pick out all the seeds, since he was supposed to count them for homework. And he whined the whole time about the slimy stuff touching his hands.

Here are the boys at the Primary Halloween activity at church. They had a fun time!

Left: Paxton as a little frog (This costume was 1st worn by his cousin, Austin and then by Versii and then on to Paxton ---The last frog in the family.) Right: Versii as a cow. He had a real tantrum putting on his costume and then once we got him into it, he grabbed his tail and just kept saying, "Look a tail, a tail!"

You can see him grabbing the tail here.

Kaden dressed up as his favorite video game character, Luigi. (He loves this costume so much that...at some point in the day...he has put it on, every day since Halloween. ---Josh and I agree that we got our money's worth out of this costume. Versii even wore it around once or twice too.)

Kaden doing some Luigi action moves and toting a heavy bag of candy!

Versii was a little scared of the "trick or treating," but he sure did love the candy after. And Paxton slept for awhile, but woke up a happy lil' frog.

Here are the boys getting ready to head out "trick or treating" for the night. Josh dressed as a vampire with crazy white eyes and the boys had a lot of fun!
