All things Halloween

Halloween is a fun holiday, don't you think? I talked to someone recently who said their husband hated Halloween.  I can see why he hates Halloween. It's kind of a strange holiday.  For me, I think it's always been one of my favorites especially when I was a kid.  I always liked dressing up, getting the candy, carving pumpkins, etc etc. These days I don't dress up much to the kids dismay, but we still have fun around here.  Following are a bunch of Halloween related pictures.

This first one is a picture of our back window where we display the kids' Halloween artwork.  Can you see the real spider?  I never killed the spider so I'm sure it will be crawling on my shoulder while I'm nursing. Yikes

These next two pictures are of a house we pass on our way home quite often. There is an old ambulance in the front yard that looks like the ghostbuster ambulance. The light on top rotates at night like a real ambulance and there are scary creatures inside. Halloween music is playing if you pull over and get close enough to hear and you know we do every time. 

The next couple are some Halloween art I saw laying on the countertop. Christian has decided he likes to  draw now and he drew the pumpkin. Pretty good for a guy who never drew much before. Lindsey drew the fairy and the "singing candy corn cat"

And last, here are my favorites of last Halloween

Lindsey the Clown

Christian who is adorable and bites

And my favorite series...Aaron getting ready for Halloween

Needless to say Aaron was a hit at the school he teaches. Part of his character was strutting around to the song "Purple Haze" by Jimmy Hendrix.  He had way too much fun with this and I'm convinced it was his alter ego.

Here's the finished product posing with Emma who is looking too cute to be a real witch

There you have it.  Stay tuned for some pictures of our Halloween party weekend.
