Halloween

I know, I know it's almost Christmas and I'm just now getting my Halloween pictures on my blog. What else can I say but better late then never. (; Any way, my kids told me what they wanted to be for Halloween about a month before the holiday ever came around. It was great because I kept my eyes open for what they wanted and it payed off. I found what they wanted and the best part was it was for a good price. Of course Eli right now is very into Transformers and told me he wanted to be Bumblebee. Mckenna on the other hand is really into princesses and told me she wanted to be Snow White. So here are the pictures of my kids at Eli's school Halloween party and just before we went out trick or treating.

Eli and Mckenna at his table making a paper plate ghost.
Here is Eli with a few of his super hero friends.
Keith got home at 4 and carved his pumpkin. The kids and I already did ours. So here he is hard at work.

He had a great idea on how to carve teeth in his pumpkin by just scraping the top layer of the pumpkin off. I think it looks great, but best of all I love how I have documentation of that beard! At least he looks good with it but now sadly it's gone.
Keith was so creative with his pumpkin and put screws in as eyebrows. He also did two other bigger screws at the sides of the pumpkins head.
Here are the two pumpkins together. The kids picked the cyclops. Spooky!
Here are the kids together right before we went out trick or treating. Eli looks very cool and if Mckenna were to enter a costume look a like contest I think she would win hands down as the best Snow White. To be honest this was the first year the kids went door to door. We have just done trunk or treating with our wards and that has always been more then enough but this year they did trunk or treating about a week before Halloween so we thought it would be fun to go out and do the real deal. The kids had a blast. They really liked seeing all the other kids in their costumes and having people be so nice and give them candy for just saying the simple words of "TRICK OR TREAT!"
