Halloween all summed up

I was just taking a look at the photos from Devils Night and Halloween this morning. So many good ones waiting to be edited and scrapped. I chose a few of my favorites (ok. 10) so this post will be a little photo heavy. As always you can click on the pics to see them larger.

On Oct. 30th Samantha & Cameron painted their pumpkins after lunch. Sam kept mixing red & yellow together on her pumpkin. It was so cute. She was painting it orange. Layers and layers of orange.

Cameron was drawn to all the colors. He painted them on thick too. Took an extra hour for his to dry, and I was already letting them use the Making Memories paint. If you've used that, you know how quickly that stuff dries.

The kids and I went out to order pizza from Domino's then while we were waiting on the order to cook, we drove around looking at the houses in the area and Halloween decor. I let Katelyn get some shots using my Canon. She feels so grown up when I let her use it. Anyway, we grabbed pizza, took it home to eat, and got started on carving our pumpkins. Last year, you wouldn't have caught Samantha willing sticking her hand inside her pumpkin. Oh the changes in one single year. She scooped most of the icky pumpkin guts out by herself. Cameron too. They were SO fun this season.

Since we bought our pumpkins so last minute this year, we just went with standard geometric shapes. It was fun, and a lot less work! Katelyn carved her own too. Samantha & Cameron told me the shapes they wanted for their eyes and stuff, and I cut them out.

Cameron loved his pumpkin with two noses, and gave it a little kiss. (the 2nd nose looked more like a booger)

Sam loved her heart nose best, and the moon eye :)

Halloween was just busy all day long. For some darn reason I had a hair up my butt and decided to make sugar cookies. The little ones helped me cut shapes out after lunch, and we baked them. After nap, the time flew. I started cooking dinner @ 4 we ate, and started getting everyone ready. Katelyn's first year designing her own costume AND going out alone with friends. I didn't have time to be nervous about it, and she had a great time. She went out with the BFF Big Sam, and Jessica. We put reflective tape on their backs, gave them my cell phone, and let them go. They were back by 8:30 and had a blast together.

Poison Ivy - Jessica, Blue Umbreon - Big Sam, Yellow Umbreon - Katelyn, The Princess Samantha, and the lil engine that wouldn't hold still - james.. err Cameron. :)
It was fun, but I'm glad the month is over with.



I'll also be happy when this election is over. All the campaign mail and ads we've been getting has been crazy. At least 3-4 pieces a day for the last two weeks! Not looking forward to the lines tomorrow, but it must be done. =)

Thar she falls...

The last few days have been miserable with these allergies of mine. It almost feels like I have a cold. Speaking of cold.. it's been unseasonably chilly here this year, and the last two days have been so windy!

Ouch. I had to take a blogging break because I realized that today is Wednesday, and hubby hadn't taken the trash out. I'm so glad I had the thought to put on my shoes and jacket, (normally I would go barefoot) because I missed the trash truck by 15 seconds. That's ok, because the truck will come back up the other side after a little while. So, I drag the trash can across the street, pull it right up to the curb. As I did that, I stepped in a small hole, my ankle turned, (did I mention I'm wearing my flip flops?) and I fell backwards with the can coming on top of me. I swear my legs would have been straight in the air had it not been for the can holding them down. Yeah. It wasn't pretty. Fell right on my ass. Laugh... I will later! (except you Doug.. you aren't allowed mister!) ;)

Back to being windy. Doug went out to his car and rushed back in. Did you see what's in our back yard, he asks? I'm like, NO! So we run to the sunroom and there it is. Yeah, the tree in the backyard split sometime between 7:15am - 8am.

Poor garden.
Poor sand table and umbrella. Their under there somewhere.
So happy the kids & dogs weren't out there when it split. I'm going to miss the privacy that tree provides. Maybe we'll plant a new one in the spring.

And as I'm sitting here looking at the title of my post, I realize how ironic LIFE can be sometimes. LOL
