Getting Ready for Halloween

I bet you can't guess what the girls are going to be for Halloween?? If you said anything other than a princess, you are wrong! Regen will be Aurora (aka Sleeping Beauty, aka Briar Rose), and Claire will be Snow White.

We still don't have a costume for Chase, and as of right now, he will be going as Colin's Mini-Me. We just have to paint a goatee on him. ha!

We hit the pumpkin patch, we made pumpkin bread and pumpkin waffles, we (and when I say "we" I mean Colin) carved pumpkins, now we are just waiting, WAITING, for Halloween day, so we can go trick-or-treating.

Here are some pictures of our Halloween fun!


Pumpkin Patch with the Hovey's










Painting Pumpkin Masks






Carving Pumpkins with Daddy


Claire was a little hesitant to really get her hands in it, and she kept saying "ewww, that is dissussing" (disgusting).


This is the first year that Regen actually put her hands in the pumpkin. In the years past, she holds her nose and stands back and watches Colin. She was really into playing with the 'guts', but she got hives all over her arms and had to stop.


The finished products - thanks to Colin's hard work and late night carving 3 pumpkins while Mommy slept...

Regen's pumkin is Malificent-the Wicked Witch from Sleeping Beauty


Claire's Pumkin - Snow White


Chase's pumpkin is none other than Curious George - because we know that is what he is going to be next year!

Wow! You guys are all set. I sure wish we lived close enough to have your little pumpkins come trick or treat us!

Seriously Colin is a master carver! Very impressive!
