Halloween 2010

Our cast of characters includes: a train conductor, Princess Belle, and a little pumpkin.

We went to my friend's house for a good ol' fashioned Halloween party.  All the kids went trick-or-treating together. 

There was a total of five trick-or-treaters and two little baby tag-alongs.  Curtis transformed from a pumpkin into a red hot chili pepper!  Doesn't he look thrilled.  :)

Bella ran up to us after each house to show us what candy she got.

Graydon was feeling a bit shy and was pretty much carried by Andy or myself for the entire night.  He looks pretty excited here but, in fact, he was really yawning in both pictures.    

One little boy - sleepy but satisfied. 

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Festivities

Our whole week seemed to be one big Halloween celebration. It began with my MOMS Club party. Here's my little fairy. Graydon stayed home and napped with Daddy.
Candy time!This was just the beginning of the candy collections.This was our third year attending the Halloween parade. It's held the night before Halloween and is a pretty fun tradition.
Bella was armed with her trick-or-treat bag. She wasn't going to miss out on any candy.We followed up the parade with another Halloween party at a friend from church's house. Always a good time!

Halloween morning was pumpkin carving time!!! . . . . . . except that Bella didn't want to touch the insides of the pumpkins. She opted for painting one instead.
Somebody turned 10 months old on Halloween!Little guy had two costumes. The first was the cowboy outfit that my mom sent. For the life of me, I could not keep that hat on his head.
That evening, he dressed up as a lion - the very same lion costume that Bella wore.The fairy and the lion all ready for trick-or-treating! The evening was perfect. Cloudy, but in the 70s. Can't beat that!
We went with some friends. Katelyn was a fairy too!Graydon snuggled up close with little miss Payton.
All the kiddos are ready to go!We had two very eager little ladies on our hands.Trick or treat!!!
Some friends from church got Graydon his own little bag.
He dug right in!That candy bar was mush on the inside of the wrapper by the time he was done with it.We lit our jack-o-lanterns when we got back home.

Here's Andy's. Graydon (and his front teeth) were Andy's inspiration. This is mine! We now have a huge bowl full of candy. I'm sure the kids will share with Mommy and Daddy. :)
