Halloween 2012

Amazing how big a difference a year makes.  Last year, the boys enjoyed Halloween, but they weren't really aware of what was going on.  This year, they have been talking about Halloween for weeks, picked out their own costumes, and were generally super excited for the day.  Here are the pictures from our day.  Hope everyone had as good of a time as we did.

This year we cheated a little bit when it came to the pumpkin carvings.  We carved a little pumpkin, but for the big ones, we just bought some packages that quickly converted the pumpkins.  The cool part of it was that the boys were able to help with this process whereas they wouldn't have been able to help as much if we carved the pumpkins.

It's Buzz and Woody!

Our front door decorations.  The new addition this year is the witch who flew into the column.

We started Halloween morning with a parade at school.  If the pumpkins didn't give it away, the boys dressed up as Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.

There was actually a little girl that dressed up as Jessie from Toy Story,
but we couldn't get her to get closer to the boys for pictures.


Due to the way Nathan kept folding his hat, several people who hadn't seen Toy Story thought he was wearing a sombrero.


Getting ready for the parade.

Back in class after the parade Christopher is eager for his snack.

Time to eat.



After the parade at school, we took the boys to lunch.  Then it was home for a nap.  Here we have them posing before we head out to trick or treat.





Buzz Lightyear and Woody...best friends forever!



Our neighbors Abby and Emma came over to hang with the boys before trick or treating.


Nathan is ready to go!


The first stop.  We had to explain to Nathan that he should ring the doorbell.

Tyler was a good sport hanging out with a bunch of younger kids.



This is how you trick or treat!




Robin was not impressed with Will when he took a rolling cooler filled with beverages.  Will even got Christopher to pull the cooler for a bit.  Next up, learn how to get the beer, open the bottle, and deliver to dad.


Enjoying the loot.

Happy Halloween!
