After we weigh in, pay and load the ultra expensive Halloween decorations into the car, we spend the next hour watching the kids run through the maize. This year it was drizzling but the kids didn't mind, just Mom and Dad did.
Thankfully this year Max was the only one that wanted to carve a pumpkin. In years past, I tend to cut myself so I am always glad when the kids don't want to carve. Both Max and Paul worked on this pumpkin and I think got some pretty good fangs.
Mikaela opted for the "Princess Pumpkin Head" accessories I bought from Target. The beauty of this kind of decorating is the lack of cleaning out the inside of the pumpkin. Plus it is fast. Make some holes, shove in your lips of choice.
Miles decided a Pirate was more his style.
So the day of Halloween is always a rush and by the time I took these pictures the sun started setting. All of their costumes relate perfectly to what they are all obsessed with this year. Max loves anything Army/military, Miki loves dressing up and looking pretty, and Miles loves "Toy Story."
Miles loved Halloween this year. He was fascinated that all he had to do was go door to door, knock and get candy. Easy!
It was almost like Christmas for Mikaela because she ended up getting a new dress up outfit. I think she has worn the dress about 20 times since Halloween.
Max made the marshmallow gun in Scouts a few days before Halloween so he was ready to be in character.
Miles wears his costume, almost daily. We started using it as pajamas just so we had the excuse to wash the costume.
