Halloween 2010

So this year, Nate wanted to be a pirate, Will wanted to be Batman again, and Hunter was a pirate again.  This Halloween was actually pretty darn nice this year... just slightly chilly but dry!!!  Lots and lots of kids out this year.

That's it for this year!

Halloween Fun 2008

Here we go friends :) Halloween was a lot of fun - luckily for us, the weather turned for the better. I was really afraid that we would get very wet, but thankfully we didn't. So without further ado, here you go.

Here are Will (left) and Nate (right). Nate is starting to give me the "I see the camera smile". I thought they made the cutest little pirates and they did super keeping their pirate "hats" on.


Here is Hunter joining his little helper pirates. He wanted a "dirtier" pirate costume. I did have eye patches for them all, but those didn't stay on.

Here's Nate with his loot and there is his "I'm supposed to smile" smile.

And here is Hunter working on his Pumpkin. This year he was all about removing the pumpkin guts. In year's past, he was more than a little hesitant to get his hands in there.

And here are our pumpkins. These designs are straight from the pumpkin carving books out there. I did all the cutting on the skull and crossbones and did about 1/2 of the tombstone. Kevin did the 1st part. Pumpkin carving is a sure fire way to give yourself carpel tunnel.

The pumpkin patch

I'm late in sharing, but not too late. We decided to go to a pumpkin patch south of us because it is so casual. There is a lovely farm east of us that is a lot of fun with animals, a hayride, maze, etc. but we opted for the self service patch. We ended up going to Frazier Farms down in Burlington and they had tons of pumpkins and lots of great photo opportunities. I just wish our little ones and big one were more willing to pose :) Anyway, here are some photos.

I have a picture of all 3 together, but its being cut off by blogger so I'll have to work on that one.

Halloween from the past Part 2

Here we go friends... This was the sequence of events for trying to get a nice picture.



This is Will

This is Nate

Last year's costumes :)

Nate and Will's 1st Halloween - blast from the past

So, I (thanks to Kevin) have finally figured out how to get pictures from Smugmug (photo holding/sharing website) onto my blog and am enjoying sharing older photos of the family. I don't like to double post so I put some on my craft blog and didn't want to repeat them here, but since Halloween is right around the corner and I need some incentive to get going on this year's costumes I thought I would share some photos of the twins' first Halloween. Argghh... I'm being such a procrastinator too.

Its so nice when they are little because I get to choose what to make and what they wear, although Hunter has always been easy so I guess I'm just making a statement. Anyway, 2 years ago was Nate and Will's 1st Halloween and I decided they would be very cute as mice and I was right on! Hunter was also very cute as Robin Hood for I think the 4th year.


Its so sad... I don't know who is who... I am pretty sure that Will is on the right.


And since we are talking 1st's, here is a picture of Hunter on his 1st Halloween as a Lion. This costume was a lot of fun to make.


He was only 10 months old so he wasn't eating candy, but he did need some token pieces in his basket.

TTFN.
