Halloween 2009


This month was a fun month. We did so many fun things as a family. Such as: pumpkin carvings, raking leaves in back yard and jumping in them, went to the Harvest festival in Nekoosa, decorated the house and yard for Halloween night...



This is one of many outfits Austin got for Halloween. (He was lucky to get so many, because I bought him one, his dad did, and Austin bought himself one.) This is the one he ended up wearing, though.

These next two pictures are of this crazy sweater I found for Austin at the pumpkin festival in Nekoosa, WI.

This is Austin's first sentence he's ever wrote!!! It says: "Austin said, I like to try on my knight costume." I had to take a picture of this. It's great!
And these last few pictures are of all of us carving our pumpkins! This was a super messy job, but we all had fun doing it. I baked the pumpkin seeds in a lot of oil and salt, when we were done. They were absolutely delicious! Everyone enjoyed them!






I wish I would've felt better Halloween night, so I could've showed you how we decorated the yard. However, Cj, Bill, and I weren't feeling the greatest. Cj had a fever and chills. Bill was sick all over. And I had a little fever but was the strong one for the night. We all forced ourselves to get dressed up and went trick or treating in Pittsville. There we met up with a big group of Cj's classmates. It was so COLD but so much fun! When we got back, Cj and Bill went to bed. Austin and I went around in Babcock. We met up with Brenden and his mom. We got a ton more candy here.
Bill carved some small white pumpkins to look like skulls. He did an awesome job. We stuck those on sticks and stuck them in the ground. We made a path that went to our front door around the house to our back door with the skulls and black torches and solar lights I had. In the back yard we had some styrofoam tombstones with our names on them. The candy was on the back steps in a bowl. We didn't have many kids come. So, when I saw them I told them to take as much as they'd like, because I had a ton of candy. In the front yard we had two big pumpkin leaf bags with a couple smaller ones around them placed on each side of the driveway.
Oh, what did we all go as for Halloween? Did Bill and I dress up? Yes we did!!! I went as a go-go dancer: I had black stretch pants on, black knee high boots with Bright Red boot warmers over top, a crazy shirt that was hidden by my coat, and a black/red wig that had high pony tails on each side. Bill dressed in his renaissance outfit. Which he totally regretted, because he froze in it. His outfit consisted of a red tunic and black pants with a belt around the waist. He, also, had black knee high boots on. Cole went as a Vampire. His outfit was pretty simple. He wore a pair of jeans with whatever shirt and a black hooded sweatshirt. He had a black cape that had skulls all around the edging. Bill painted his face, and he put in a pair of vampire teeth. Austin was a GI Joe ninja. He bought his one piece outfit at target in the toy section for like $8. We then found a thing he puts on his back and it carrys two swords in an X. He had a black mask to cover his face which kept bothering him. He ended up taking it off.
