Halloween 2011

Trick Or Treat smell my feet give me something good to eat.

After all the parties and school events the real day of Halloween and trick or treating arrived. Caelun additionally had a party at Cedar Trails or school #1 as we call it but my SD card was corrupt and I lost all the pictures from it. That’s okay I just made up for it with more pictures of actual trick or treating (wink). We certainly got our $6 worth out of that monkey costume bought at a consignment shop that is for sure. Abbi had some of her friends over and painted everyone’s faces. This was also my dad’s first Halloween in their new house and the first one in almost 25 years in a neighborhood with trick or treaters not to mention his own grandkids. All in all it was a grand Halloween.

Heading out the door for trick or treating.

First stop Grandpa Bob’s house.

Grandpa Bob has lots of candy and even more cool a FLASHLIGHT.

We run into a zombie and a soldier or is that Emily and Hunter?

Abbi carved a very intricate pumpkin.

It looks even better all lit up.

One last hooray for Halloween!

Halloween Party At The Farm 2011

We started a new tradition this year with a Halloween party at the farm the weekend before Halloween. We ate chili, carved pumpkins, went on a hay ride, and had a bonfire. This also gave the kids who wanted to an extra opportunity to wear their costumes and for this momarazzi to take lots of pictures. I am also trying to build happy memories for my kids that are connected to our family farm. Come along we will give you a pumpkin to carve.

Early in the day we stopped at a local farm that sold pumpkins. We had some from our garden but we wanted to make sure we had enough for everyone to carve. Caelun had fun picking them out.

And carve we did.
