Costumes!

Here are the finished costumes. Austin's of course was way easy due to him just wearing his football uniform. We found some sweet tattoos at Walmart that look like real scars and added some black undereye stuff and there he is, a Zombie football star! Karlee's was fun to do! I took a dress my mom had made for me when I was a kid and embellished it with some random fabric. Add a few fake stitches with an eyeliner pencil and some fake eyelashes. I'm pleased with the outcome and Karlee is so excited to be Sally this year.

Witches!

Yesterday Karlee and I went with Grandma and Emma to see the Witches and Gardner Village. It was such a perfect day to go! It was hard getting these 2 to look at the camera!

The girls were excited to watch the geese swim. The other kids there even shared some bread with them and they got to feed the birds, sweet!

Grandma loved this witch!

Emma couldn't figure out how this witch got stuck in a barrel. Too funny!

This is one of my favorite activities to do this time of year! I love it!

(and I don't mean using the potty! LOL)

Halloween Costumes

The posting prior to this one is a picture of the kids from the time Austin was 5 and Karlee was 18 months. It is crazy at how fast time flies and they grow up! Now 9 and 5 we are getting ready for another Halloween. Hopefully the kids' costumes turn out just right. It is so fun to see them excited for trick-or-treating! As you will see Karlee was Alice in Wonderland 2 years in a row. For those of you who may not know....we adopted the kids in 2006 and went to Disneyland to celebrate. Karlee's middle name is Alice and when I saw the costume while we were in Disneyland I had to have it! Needless to say $50 later.....I had to get my money's worth and dress her up that way for 2 years. She absolutely loves that costume and amazingly it still fits! It's too short to wear in public now but for dress up it's just fine here at home! The other kids in costume are cousins on my side of the family. They had so much fun at Gardner Village that year seeing the witches. One of my other favorites during this time of year. We will hopefully be going again this year. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do!

Halloween!

I love this picture of Austin gagging while we are carving pumpkins! Classic!Happy Halloween!
