The Costumes

While everyone else was carving pumpkins, I was icing the cookies that M made.

After the pumpkin fun it was time for pictures of the little people in costumes. 

Here is GB#4 in her Madeline outfit that I made for her.

GB#3 was a sly little fox.  His mom made the tail.

GB#2 joined her sister (GB#4) as Cinderella in her wedding gown.

 

GB#1 was excited to be a witch

 and was happy to tell everyone that witches say "ha, ha, ha" quite maniacally.

It was quite the feat, but I managed to get a couple shots with all four little ones. 

I hope your Halloween was as fun as ours.

Pumpkins and Paint

Early Saturday afternoon the family all came over to carve pumpkins.

The little ones did some pumpkin painting.

Some of the paint didn't make it to the pumpkin, but no one cared.

When all was said and done we had an aardvark,

Max (Where the Wild Things Are),

Shy Guy (Super Mario Bros.),

Hello Kitty, Cinderella,

and a pineapple to welcome our trick-or-treaters. 

Tomorrow - the costumes.

Pumpkin Day

Every year we carve pumpkins just before Halloween.  Today was that day.  

Above is my "before" pumpkin.

This is my "after."

Here is M's "before"

and her "after."

She wasn't entirely happy with her first one so she did a second.

Almost "before" for L.

"After" for L.

R's owl.

And Little E's progress got derailed by an unwell child.

While we are on the pumpkin theme I thought I'd show you some adorable things M made.

These are crocheted pumpkin trick-or-treat bags for the little girls.

Her stitches are beautiful.

She is quick and is good with the details.

The little girls will have fun filling them with goodies.

Wishing you creative time,

Sharon
