Homemade Halloween

I realized as I was downloading all of the pictures that the things about Halloween that were the best were the things we made together! This picture is of the boys looking out the window. Everyday the week of Halloween we did a Halloween art project to decorate our window. It is kinda sad you can't really see all the awesome things we did from eye ball lights to giant spiders but we had a lot of fun!

It is kind of a tradition around here to get mysterious treats dropped off during Halloween called being Boo-ed. We have watched year after year as people around us have been boo-ed and we haven't. But this year we got boo-ed! So we made these treats to boo fellow neighbors :)

(They are spiders in case you can't tell!)

The whole family got in on the action.

One thing I love love love about living in Utah is that when a holiday is on Sunday we tend to celebrate it on Sat. So sat. night we had Josh's family over for some scary pizza before we headed out trick or treating. Unfortunately it was RAINING! Cats and dogs and the wind was blowing crazy. It ended up being a bad night for trick or treating but the few houses the boys went to... it was good enough for them!

Halloween morning we had spooky pancakes.

A Ghost and a Bat

We decided for Halloween to all be characters from Dr. Seuss' The Cat In The Hat. Turner was the Cat, Max was the fish, the twins were thing 1 and thing 2 and Josh and I were the boy and the girl. We all dressed up on Friday night for our Church Halloween party. This the second time in life since twins we have all gotten together for a picture. The other time was in the hospital when I was recovering from a traumatic c-section. Don't worry I fixed that the next day and had my neighbor take a picture of us- check the side of the blog to see.

These are better pictures of the kids in their awesome costumes!

OK so if you never had twins this is how the twins photo shoot goes down. One baby screams so you calm them down and then you try again so the other baby starts screaming. You never have a good picture with the both of them.

See this is how cute Amelia was before I put the both of them together :)

She really does like to pose for the camera!

This is our first mother/daughter picture! We are getting ready for church Halloween day. If you recognize the skirt it is left over material from Max's fish costume.

It was a great Halloween. That night we topped off the festivities by celebrating at my cousin's Halloween party. She is an amazing hostess and is always having people over. If you know me, you know I LOVE LOVE LOVE any reason to be together! I hope you all had a fabulous Halloween too!
