Monday
The kids LOVE carving pumpkins. The excitment starts way back in the spring when we plant the garden and watch our seeds turn into vines, and later pumpkins. Each child chooses their "baby pumpkin" and watches with pride as it grows bigger and bigger. After we've carved them they get so excited as Brad takes the pumpkins out and lights the candles. Then they rush out and giggle and smile like its Christmas and are seeing what Santa brought them. So fun.-------------

Tanner and his preschool teacher, Teacher Megan. ---------------
Friday
A couple weeks ago Meagan came home from school with a flyer advertising a sewing class where they would make a trick-or-treat bag. I thought we could do it at home and Lindsay could do it with us....they had fun.
Didn't they turn out so cute!---------------
Saturday
My crew...with the addition of cousin Kaylee (not loving the photo op).Our Halloween Day tradition is homemade breadsticks with a pizza dip/sauce and a yummy Halloween drink..served with scoops of orange sherbet. Delish! My sister Aimee and her hubby Brennen and their cute little babe Kaylee enjoyed our dinner with us. Then we headed of to the Business Trick-or-Treat. Our town does a fun thing....all the businesses have a trick-or-treat outing for the kids at 4pm. It's really fun, still light outside, and usually fairly warm. Today was no exception. Thanks for coming up Fuller Fam!
The entire Matthews Fam...wish I'd taken a photo of the Fuller Fam too. :(
The most handsome pirate ever....who still was not excited about dressing up.
Linds...dead ghost. Not sure how much more dead you can get if you're a ghost, but hey, that's what she wanted. It may take awhile to comb out the rats' nest later on tonight.
Not the greatest timing ever, but anyway.....introducing, Hermione Granger!
I just couldn't resist the cute tooshie! Ellie.....the cutest little fairy!
Ellie ran out of steam during the trick-or-treating so I opted out and took her back. Once we got home she was mesmorized by the pumpkins. She got the biggest smile on her face and just sat down right next to them, like they were her best friends. She sat there for about 5 minutes just smiling and jabbering at them. When Brad and the kids came home we ate candy (alot of candy) and played a game of "Sorry" together.....Meag won! What a great day....and night!

Hope you had a Happy Halloween too!
The pumpkins all turned out great! I love how excited they get lighting them. What a fun holiday for the kids. How can Tanner not be excited about dressing as a pirate?! What a goof indeedy, but he did look hansome.The bags were perfect and super cute. I LOVED the group shot of everyone dressed up. Meagan had me laughing, all in character. What a perfect Hermione. Way to go on the make-up department. Now I know what to do if my kid wants to be a dead ghost one year. Seriously I was impressed with the hair. I bet Lindsay loved it. Ellie and Kaylee were some pretty cute fairies! You ended on such a sweet note with that picture of Ellie sitting next to her "best friends". Those one year olds really are the greatest. :) Love you Matthews!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun week! The bags really turned out so cute and once again we (The Fuller fam) had a blast trick-or-treating Morgan style. (Despite the grump guster Kaylee at the beginnig). The pumpkins were awesome and I'm glad Mr. Bear helped Tanner realize how fun dressing up like a pirate can be.
ReplyDeleteWhat a Happy Halloween indeed! All the costumes turned out SO SO perfect. When my kid(s) get old enough I am totally send them to you for all this Halloween/costume stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love that you grow your own pumpkins and they turned out great! I love the picture of Ellie and her BFF's.
I thought the same thing about your Hermione and my Harry - but, you beat me to the commenting ;) If she's anything like Joey, they'll both be up for dressing up again! Even if it is just for a picture!
ReplyDeleteWhat cuties you have! Even as a dead ghost, Lindsay is still lovely! Too fun!
And, I must address the "U" situation. Don't tell, but I still bleed blue ;) And, would still marry Ty, should the situation present itself ;) But, until then, I must put my feelings on the back burner and PRETEND to cheer red. You see, the "Y" would not accept the hopeful law student I married, and thus, the very name of that school is no longer allowed utterance in our humble household. HOWEVER. . . my heart still skips a beat everytime I travel to Provo and see that Y High On the Mountain Top. Sigh. ;)
P.S. thanks again for all the blue memories I hold so dear!!
Oh they are all so cute! They are getting really big! They change really fast! I can't wait until we live closer and could see you guys on holidays!
