Halloween 2011

We had a blast this halloween.  I got to walk the girls door to door this year (Brady did it last year).  It was perfect that night, in the 50s I think.  For us that is warm!  lol 

Cadence was a vampire and Rory was a blue dragon.  Beckah was a ladybug, but only because we couldn't find the green monster sleeper in her size.  In the picture below Beckah was ticked because I wasn't holding her.  That happens a lot these days. 



Cadence wanted purple hair to match her dress.  The first can of spray we bought (said purple on the bottle people) made her hair bright pink.  She had a costume party for a friends birthday and she was pretty annoyed by the pink.  So we found another brand and it came out more purple than pink.  Cadence was happy with it. 

And what Cadence does, Rory must do as well. 


We had gone to the pumpkin patch while Uncle Kyle was here and he found us an awesome pumpkin. 32lbs of pumpkin if I remember correctly.  I picked up one more at the Walmart. When it came time to carve them we did a nice face on the big one and Brady insisted on doing a "Creeper" from one of the games he plays on the computer.  lol The girls really liked it.  

The "Creeper"


And the more standard face on the big pumpkin. 


The girls really enjoyed looking at them when we were done. 




Once they were on the porch our local squirrels decided they were fair game.  For whatever reason the liked the "Creeper" and didn't even touch the big one.  So after about three days you couldn't tell what the "Creeper" had been, they had eaten that much of it's face!  lol 

It was fun.  We gave out a ton of candy and the girls got tons more!  I really love living in a place where we can go door to door again.  There really isn't anything like it.

Love their costumes!! And I know what you mean about 50 being warm. I remember going trick or treating in winter coats as a kid cause it was snowing outside!
