Halloween

With Drew's costume craze, it's no wonder he was a big fan of halloween this year! He's been talking for months about what costume to wear. He has so many good options that he really had a hard time deciding. I thought Jack Sparrow was going to win (it was also my favorite) but he decided on "Spider Man with muscles," probably because it was new to the collection. A few minutes before heading out to trick or treat he tried to switch to the Green Lantern but I put a stop to the madness! David was a precious little pirate! The Watson's joined us again this year and the three kids had a great time trick or treating. I couldn't believe how quickly we moved through the neighborhood this year! We have an obscene amount of candy. When it was all over the boys asked when it would be halloween again?!? I responded that thankfully it would be a whole year.


Carving pumpkins with Daddy. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the finished products, they were quite good! We also caved and got some outdoor decorations this year. After taking the boys on a tour of the neighborhood one night, Drew sweetly asked why we didn't have anything spooky at our house like so many of our neighbors. We didn't get a five foot black cat with a moving head or a RIP tombstone with a skeleton in the bushes but did hang a big spider web from our porch and added a bat too. The boys seemed pleased :)
"Me help" turned into David going back and forth to the kitchen getting more tools. Here he is with two scoopers he thought George may need. He wasn't happy with how long it was taking to carve his pumpkin, hense the fake smile.


I got the boys pirate earrings and although they wore them around the house quite a bit, they weren't worn on actual Halloween. Spider Man doesn't wear an earring and David decided it hurt his ear.


Puss in Boots! Sweet Mae Mae took Drew and Whitley to see the movie and Drew was only home about two minutes before coming out in this get-up. I thought it was pretty darn good considering what he had to work with!


George and I went to a halloween party at Cristie and Tom's the weekend before halloween. We dressed as vampires so had lots of scary makeup on. Drew was very impressed and wanted to do the same. He made me promise to give him a scary face in the morning and as you can see, he didn't forget and I kept my promise. David wanted to get in on the action too of course and loved saying "me scuwey" as he checked himself out in the mirror.


Halloween! It was rainy and cold but it didn't put a damper on the excitement!


David's ready.


So is Spiderman. He was kind of glad it rained because then his spider rainboots became the perfect accessory!


Drew rocked the Spiderman poses all night long!
