Halloween 09

We arrived home on Halloween to a crazy busy, jam packed full day - welcome home to us! We started off with a dance fundraiser, scout merit badge day, 2 soccer games and then moved on to the festivities - our pumpkin carving!

Luke and I were quite proud of our pumpkin - we worked hard on it



Trent had a really hard time choosing a costume this year. I was bugging him forever to decide, and he did not like any of my ideas. He was going to be the Jonas Brothers with some friends but luckily that changed on the night and we came up with Frankenstein -ish type outfit! Thanks Brad for the makeup job!

Abby knew from very early on in the year that she wanted to be a punk rocker - she looked great and played the part well - she had the looks and poses down quite well!

Abby and Maddyn trick or treat together every year. They are such cute, good friends

Even though Jack and Luke have been matching for the last 2 or 3 years they both decided they wanted to be Dracula without telling the other one. It was pretty cute. So beware they are very spooky and they may even suck your blooooood if you are not careful!

Hayley did a very minimal costume - a football player, and still went out with her friends for trick or treating. So really when is it time to stop? I think we may be very close!

The annual family Halloween picture
One of my favorite costumes of the year was Chelsea aka Kate Gosselin (Jon and Kate plus 8) She was so funny and pulled it off perfectly. We had a party at Club Fifield after trick or treating, while all the kids had a party at our home. There was a complete sugar high going on, and with about 20 kids at once it was craziness!

Luke with his stash of which he was quite proud. Luke gets the smallest haul by far, times that by 4 and thats a whole lot of candy in our house. It is a little of a free for all for a few days and then somehow it mysteriously disappears!
