I love Halloween!!

Josh was in heaven. It literally took him an hour to decide what to wear. He's definitely my "Costume King". He had a wrestling uniform on and we convinced him he would be too cold. He was going to be a Ninja turtle and Sam had a fit because he wanted to be the ninja. As you will see, Sam ended up not wearing it. You should have seen their room after he was finished...wow!!

This was one of the best garage sale buys. Both Sam and Josh love the cat costume.

Matthew is an Ohio State Buckeyes Fan. We sprayed his hair gray and red (I mean crimson, of course). I don't recommend doing that. The paint did not come out of his hair very well.

He thought he was the coolest kid and of course he was :) His cheeks say "Go Bucks".

Ben did not go trick or treating, but decided to humor me and wear it to the grandparents' house.

My Favorite Kind of Bat

My nephew Colby - Meg is going to send me a better picture of him in his costume, but he's still so stinkin' cute.

Happy Halloween!!

The kids finally convinced their Dad to carve their pumpkins. Everyone was very excited. And what comes out of Sam's mouth, "It's time to get naked!". I guess he thought he would actually help clean out the pumpkin...not so.

Ben wouldn't get near it. He didn't like the smell. He was more into the carving part.

Josh kind of liked it a little too much. He was the only one that would get down and dirty. He thought it was pretty cool

After some persuasion, Matthew decided to help out. I think he only did it once though.

Sam would have nothing to do with it. He kept saying he was going to puke. Well, guess what? He almost did. I thought for sure I was going to have to clean up some vomit when he started dry heaving.

Some more pictures...

This picture makes Josh look like he's not thoroughly enjoying this. He must have realized that the inside of a pumpkin doesn't always smell the best.

Eric kept dislocating his ring finger as he was cleaning out the pumpkin. It was very bizarre. I bet his finger will be sore tomorrow.

Eric would throw some pumpkin guts on Josh and he thought that was the funniest thing ever. Eric tried to do that to Sam and he ran away screaming like a girl. Then, he gagged and the fun was over.

Ben carved one of the pumpkins and did a very good job. It's amazing how my boys are growing up. I'm so lucky...

Hope everyone has a safe Halloween!!

I love holiday bazaars...'tis the season

The season of holiday/craft bazaars has begun. I love going to the different craft shows. It's not because I like buying crafty holiday decorations, it's because of all the yummy bake goods you can get. These yummies came from the Methodist church today. It wasn't a big show, but boy, did they have lots of good stuff.

I'm going to be a vendor in the upcoming craft show at St. Paul's on Nov. 3rd and I hope I don't eat ALL the baked goods in the place. It would be a shame if I ate all my profits...not good.

Just in case you were curious, that's Sam's hand. He gets it honestly.
