Halloween

I know this is late, but better late than never right? Halloween was fun this year. We all dressed up -- which doesn't normally happen. I hate deciding on what everyone should be...but once we figured it out I had a BLAST making the costumes. Lucy was Rapunzel, from Tangled. She LOVES this movie....she can sing most of the songs from it, that is how much she likes it. A few weeks ago Patrick was in town, and made a comment about how Cole looks like Donkey Kong when he smiles.....so that is who Cole became. Devin was a Cowboy. And myself....well....you can decide :)

I got the idea for Lucy's hair from this tutorial I found. It was fun, and I thought she would like it but I was wrong. She wouldn't try it on so I couldn't really finish it. And then she would only wear it for pictures. So maybe for next year we can try it again? I don't know. We'll see.  For Cole's costume I pretty much winged it. I got some plush felt, and traced some of his sweat pants and a hoodie that fit him a little loose. They were fun to make and I'm happy with how they turned out.

On Halloween we ended up carving pumpkins! It was a lot of fun. Lucy has never been a fan of touching gross looking or feeling things. So she stuck with the spoon for scooping, and had a lot of fun taking the top on and off. She also helped with some of the tracing on the pumpkin.

 Little man on the other hand LOVED the pumpkin guts. We had a big bowl out filled with them and he went to town. No hesitation, just dug right in. He did eat some, but we were careful to not let him get big chunks. Here is a video! (amazing right?? I have one on here?)

Trick or treating was fun. We went to a potluck in our neighborhood. Then headed around a couple of cul-de-sac that had fun lights and decorations. Lucy wouldn't really say anything when we knocked on the doors but was all for the candy she got everytime. She did get a little scared by some of the decorations. Cole LOVED all the lights, and I think being outside when it was dark was a lot of fun for him too! After about 5 houses Lucy asked to go home. She thought she had hit the jackpot with the amount of candy she got. And thoroughly enjoyed eating it. Devin said he is happy if she keeps thinking that a couple of houses worth of candy is a lot :)
