HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Friday we got up early, packed the van and headed to visit with our family for the weekend. We stopped in Amherst to have lunch with Grandma and Grandpa at McDonald's then it was back on the road. We got to Nana and Papa's house in time to carve the pumpkin then get dressed into costumes! The fun was about to begin.....
PUMPKIN CARVING!

Trin, Kohl and Blake were washing the pumpkin getting ready to carve the face. This year I passed along the job of designing the pumpkin face off to Jay. Now this will be his Halloween tradition to come up with a spookiest face for the pumpkin!

digging in and getting messy...
Great job Jay!
The pumpkin didn't get named this year but it turned out really good.
Great job kids!
NOW FOR THE COSTUMES!
Papa and Trinity getting ready. Love the yellow and green hair!

Matt dressed up and used Papa's yellow hair to go with his clown hair! I didn't dress up until later when I heard someone was giving out candy apples. I wasn't long turning into a green dinosaur! LOL

Jay (army dude), Kohl (cat in the hat), Matt (clown), Trinity (witch), Blake (optimus prime, transformer), and Robin (rock star)

VISITING THE HAUNTED HOUSE!

This was the first time that we had ever gone to this haunted house. My mom had told me about it last year and it sounded really neat so I made sure that we got the kids there to see it. Now I didn't know what to expect or how the kids would take it but they were great. Sure they were scared but still it was fun! Blake had the most fun of all! He made friends with each live creature there was and he had to be pulled away when it was time to go.

It was amazing to see all the work that had gone into this Haunted House!

There were monsters, skeletons, zombies, etc...walking around the yard and jumping out!

At first we just thought that the Hulk was decoration that he jumped up behind up as we were going up the walkway to the house. Blake was amazed with the Hulk. I would have to say he was Blake's favorite!

We were greeted as we entered through the front door!

This creature didn't move for the longest time...then when the kids turned around it would stand up. Blake finally caught onto this and started having fun with the creature. Anything for a can of pop LOL!

Ok. so he handled the spook of this creature pretty good but not Trinity. Before Blake caught onto what was happening Trinity got bored with the creature just sitting there and turned around to see how they had the piano decorated and when she turned around the creature was standing right there looking at her. well it didnt take her long to start crying!

She was ok, she didn't leave the haunted house!

Outside with Hulk is where we spent most of our time. Blake was having fun with Hulk. Blake thought that he had magic powers, everytime Blake made fist and punched his head, chest, knees, etc....the Hulk copied him. So too see if he (blake) really did have magic powers he started wiggling his butt to see if the Hulk would copy. Sure enough the Hulk copied. It was hilarious and we all had a great time watching but i'm sure the Hulk was glad to see us leave lol!

After trick or treating was over Jay went and spent the night at Bird's (my aunt), then the kids dumped out all the treats and sorted through them. They got 3 times less than last year but that is perfectly fine with me and we all had fun and that is all that matters!
