Ho-Ho-Halloween!

More October fun today! We were running a little late carving our pumpkins because of my Chicago trip, so we did it this afternoon before trick-or-treating.

Then we had a fun filled Trick-or-Treat evening with all our neighborhood buddies.

The Moms took the kids around the 'hood, keeping warm with some coffee and Bailey's, the Dads handed out the candy...it's becoming a fine tradition!


McKenna, Silas, Sam, Allysa, Ella, Ashlee

Ella was Hannah Montana this year.
Mason was the scary thing from Scream - gross....

But Silas stole the show...(notice the lack of photos of Ella and Mason...)

For the last couple weeks, Silas has said he wants to be Santa for Halloween.
Turns out that he really meant it, so today Justin and I found an old outfit of Ella's, got fabric adhesive and some quilt batting and Justin got to work on cutting and adhering! A Santa hat, one of my belts, a beard net from one of the plants that Justin has done work in (with the batting glued to it as well) and....SANTA!

He was a big hit around the neighborhood. He took it pretty seriously too. Said his Ho-ho-ho's and everything!

How about our spooky house!?

happy halloween!!
