Halloween 2010

Halloween is for sure one of my favorite holidays. Just the Fall atmosphere, pumpkins, treats, dressing up - it's all fun. We didn't even have to worry about the weather this year and having to bundle our kids up. It was just lovely here in Yuma. June chose to be Tinkerbell this year and came to that conclusion months ago and stuck with it. I was all for it. She already had a cute Tinkerbell skirt and wings that my parents had given her. I decided to make her some "bally" shoes to go with it. I just bought some shoes at Target and then spayed them with adhesive and covered them with green glitter after that. Then I hot glued the fuzz ball on top. I thought they turned out pretty fancy! June was quite taken with her shoes. Here she is just looking at them and loving them:)

We started out the Halloween fun by going to a Halloween/B-day party for a friend. It was so much fun. We constructed and decorated haunted houses, ate yummy food, and the kids had a scavenger hunt. I just love the friends I have made while here in Yuma. I am going to miss them when we have to move in January. Below is Sean building our house with the girls.

This is June and Nick playing outside in their costumes. June loves all of the friends she has here too.

My Jack man dressed up as Jack Skellington. For his costume I painted the black stripes on his jacket. It was a long precess, but it turned out good.

Here is our finished haunted house.

We waited until the 30th to buy pumpkins and it wasn't such a bright idea on our part. We were lucky to find two little ones for the kids and two white ones for me and Sean. June is a crazy girl and liked to eat the pumpkin seeds.

Here is the finished product: an owl, wolf, and two faces.

Our ward put on a trunk-or-treat that was a lot of fun and tons of people came to participate.

Here are my little trick-or-treaters!

When we lite our pumpkins that night Jack was very fascinated by them. Jack-o-lanters are pretty to look at!

On actual Halloween we got invited over to another friends house for dinner and trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. We had a good time there as well! I think we are set for candy until at least Valentines Day:) June wore were Belle dress this time around. It was a fun Halloween and now we are looking forward to some more holiday celebrating in the near future
