Halloween 2015

This year in anticipation of Halloween, we headed out to an incredible pumpkin patch on Sauvie's Island to find our pumpkins.

We tried to find our way around the "Neverland Maze" - quite an adventure!

After HOURS deliberating over which pumpkins they wanted (yes - it took them that long!), here are the ones they finally ended up with!

Here we are on Halloween, in our costumes, with our jack-o-lanterns carved (or painted).

Grins = Luke Skywalker, Wiggles = witch, Angel = angel

 Imagine he's holding a lightsaber.  Fortunately my children are willing to use their imaginations when their mother mistakenly forgets to purchase a vital part of their costume. :)  I also had just finished sewing his tunic - hence the strings hanging off the sleeves.  For costumes, I choose speed over quality/precision in finishing. :)

Angel's hair was actually dyed GOLD, in case you can't tell.

Wiggles puts on her "witchiest" face

Grins had his face painted at an event we attended earlier that month.  He had high hopes of me recreating it for Halloween.....but I was glad when he opted for Luke instead. :)

Here we are, Halloween night.

We took advantage of the "freebies" on Halloween!  First, we got "Booritos" at Chipotle (only $3! yeah!), then got free smoothies at Jamba Juice and free donuts at Krispy Kreme.  Gotta love holiday freebies - especially since we very rarely eat out!

Then, we tricked-and-treated around the neighborhood, and the children came home with an obscene amount of candy:

Which they promptly organized and began trading amongst themselves.  Another good Halloween to remember.
