BOO!

We had such a fun filled Halloween weekend that it is hard to remember that today is actually Halloween.  We started out with our new "cheater" pumpkin kits.  I picked these up last year just after the holiday for a steal.  They are Mr. Potato Head Jack-o-lantern kits.  You push in the pieces and -whalla! you have a really cute pumpkin.  Dad was a BIG fan of this meathod.

But of course we had to do the traditional meathod too!  Kind of funny thing....Renato went to the store to get the pumpkins and groceries for me last week.  I was under the weather and he was a fanstastic help, but when we came home with just two rather smallish pumkins I was a little puzzled.  I said "Honey we have 4 kids at home.  Why do we have 2 pumpkins".  He assured me it was fine.  After Dad and Elise took care of the 2 pumpkins with our cheater kits Audrey was a little put out that she had been left out.  I assured her that we would get more and actually carve them.  So Renato and I go to Walmart and we get a bunch of stuff and I pick out pumpkins.  Remember the part where I was not feeling well....I was not thinking well either.  When we got home Renato said...hey why did you only get two pumpkins to carve?  Well who said I could be trusted?!
It all turned out becuase Elise actually had a little pumpkin from her soccer coach that we used too.  All in all we had 5 pumpkins.  :)  But here is the coolest part!!! on our Walmart excursion we found a "Pumpkin Scraper".  It attaches to your drill and cleans out the inside messy stuff.  Here is a picture of Drew using the MAN TOOL.
One person has to hold the pumpkin and the other one gets to use the power tool and if you are lucky you get to spray pumpkin guts on your Dad.  SO MUCH FUN!  All for $5.98.

Here are our costumes.  Elise was a styling princess!  Notice the lipstick she is clutching in her hand?  I put it down while we were taking pictures and forgot to take it to the party.  All night she was worried it was wearing off.  Luckily it was the long last never come off kind.

Drew opted for no costume, but when the tunk or treat started and teenagers in costume were getting candy, he was rethinking his plan for next year.  I gave him a big bag when we got home and Elise was very good as sharing as long as you asked.  Audrey worked hard to get her candy and was not as interested in sharing. 

Dad wore his Clown costume for teh third year in a row.  He was getting kidded for not being original, but turns out he got first prize for cuttest costume.  He may never change!

I decided to make a tutu out of the left over wedding tulle.  I still remember all of the ballarina potitions from Kay Dougal's dance class.  We had a great weekend - with a fantastic party.  The kids are gone to Mom's house for tonight, so it won't be near as exciting handing out candy.  Oh, and speaking of candy I have to run out and get some more.  Some one (RENATO) has eaten so much of ours we don't have enough.  I mentioned that we should not open it....but oh well he loves those kit kats!
