HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!

These are a bunch of pictures taken all throughout the holiday weekend. The top favorite on my list were the fabulous pumpkin pancakes we made for breakfast before all the festivities.
All dressed and ready for the Track-or-Treat. Well, except for Addison. She again did not want her picture taken. I really don't know why she gets traumatized when the camera comes out.

While the girls were trick-or-treating at the park, Dave snapped these of Addison. Apparently it's just me that gets the sad, crying side of her. All smiles for her dad.

Our cute little cat. She had some ears too, but wouldn't even keep them on long enough for a picture. Oh well.

Once she got one piece of candy, she had it all figured out. She was so cute, everyone just let her pick her own piece of candy. She's not shy!!


Returning home from the Track-or-Treat. At least she's smiling in this one. Aren't they all so cute?
Dave couldn't resist taking this one. After her costume was off, she was much happier

Addison loves this little chair and the pumpkin that sits on it. I don't know what it is, but all my girls have loved this little guy to carry around. He's seen much better days, I doubt he will last many more Halloweens.

Look at me, I know I'm cute!!

This year we decided to let the girls draw their own faces on the pumpkin and they did a great job.

Katelyn made hers into a girl pumpkin with eyelashes and all.

Then it was Kelsey's turn. We made it a double-sided pumpkin.

Cleaning out the insides.

Katelyn's pumpkin. If you look close you can see the eyelashes Dave tried to give it.
Kelsey gave hers eyebrows.
The big night.

After the girls got back with all their loot, Kelsey decided she wanted to push the button for the air cannon. Dave told her the line to wait for the trick-or-treaters to cross before pushing it. This is the huge smile on her face when she would send people away screaming. She decided that next year she will stay and scare everyone and I will go trick-or-treating for her. I tried to explain that moms don't go and get candy for their kids who want to stay home, but she wasn't hearing of it.

This year with Halloween being on a Sunday, we didn't put out very much at all. And it was so nice. It's fun to make it scary but honestly this was so nice to have a relaxing day and not be rushed to get everything out, dinner eaten, costumes on and out the door before it's 8 o'clock at night.

Annual Pumpkin Patch

We took a trip to the pumpkin patch one day after Kelsey was done with school. We decided not to wait for Dave because by the time he gets home, it's dark. So we got all dressed up and then the weather turned cold, windy and nasty. So we tried to get some pictures and went home. Not the best smiles but at least she wasn't crying (in the pictures).
