Halloween 2009 Montage

Halloween 2009

We look forward to Halloween each year. The boys and I have a great time planning the costumes and working on them. They all look so cute! This year I made Sam's first, as I was working without a pattern and winging it. He wanted nothing to do with it. He wouldn't even try it on for me. When I finished Jake's, he was trying it on for me and Sam saw this. He went and grabbed his mummy costume and said "me too". Now I know what the trick is...

A visit to the pumpkin patch!

Everyone selected a pumpkin. Afterward the conversation went like this: Me - "This year can we paint the pumpkins?" Jason - "sure, and then we'll make some chocolate chip cookies without chocolate chips". Me- "Easy for you to say. I am the one stuck doing all the cleaning and carving." Jason- "I always do it, don't I guys?" Guys - "um, no Daddy, you never have."

Max and Jake in the Corn Maze. The maze was supposed to take 45 minutes, but with Dad the expert map reader they were out in about 15! They did protest about having to stop to pose for a picture, of course.

Max, posing by the "Big Max" pumpkins. (which could be yours for $80!)

Sam, hamming it up as Dracula. He could barely reach the hole.

Reluctantly posing, of course.

Crazy Hair Day!

Jake and Max sported their favorite color in their hair for "crazy hair day" at school. While food coloring looks cool in your hair; it is not so cool all over my beautiful, fluffy white towels. Jake took it upon himself to rinse his out after school and used one of my lovely bath towels. (I guess that is what bleach is for...)
