Happy Halloween!

This year for Halloween Allison wanted to be a brown kitten and she wanted me to be a cat so that was pretty easy and I was happy with being a cat. Then I asked her what she wanted Ben to be and for a long time she said a smoke detector but when I started making a smoke detector she decided she would rather have him be a banana! So I did my best with the one night I had left before Halloween to make Ben a banana costume. Ben was a good sport to wear the some- what ridiculous costume. At the end of the night I asked Alli who's costume was her favorite...she smiled and said "my daddy's!"
I love the picture of Allison biting Ben...she kept saying "now I can eat him, cats love bananas!"

We had a fun evening with our friends...it started with soups and ended with doughnuts (that's my kind of night!) The kids had fun trick-or-treating and would race to see who got to ring the doorbell first. I loved how it got foggy right as we started trick-or-treating it added the perfect touch. My camera was being crazy so I am excited to see Jason's pictures and I am sure I will post some of his later. I hope you all had a happy Halloween and thanks to our friends for making ours a great one!

Tea party

Getting ready for our guest's
They were so cute...very lady like.

Emma wanted to be a big girl and helped herself to everyone's treats. My favorite part was the girls trying to go up the stairs in their fancy dresses.

The leaves are falling down!

I love the big tree in our backyard I only wish it would rake it's own leaves! I tried to enlist Allison's help but that didn't last long. At least the girls had fun playing in the leaves.

Halloween Preview

Here is a sneak peak of Allison' s Halloween costume...she is missing her kitty collar in this picture but you get the idea! She LOVES her tail she insisted on standing sideways for the picture so you could see it. Thanks mom for making the ears and tail...they are a hit! I made her kitty gloves yesterday and now Allison scratches at everything...naughty kitty.

Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin carving with a 1 year old is interesting! Emma practically stuck her head in all the pumpkins, she tasted the pumpkin goo, and slimed everyone else with the pumpkin goo.

As you can see we made Larry the cucumber out of our green pumpkin and then we made a home is where the heart is pumpkin from our big orange one. Allison had fun drawing all over one of the little pumpkins. I love the picture of Emma drawing...she is clearly designing her pumpkin.

TV Dinner anyone?

These are the cupcakes I made for the Boy Scout's dessert auction at my mom's church, They sold for $27, not bad huh?!?! Allison bid on a carrot cake....it was sooooo yummy!

A Witchy Snack!

Today our preschool lesson was on witches and Halloween so here is what I did for snack...little witch hats from cresent rolls. We also made witches for our craft and I will be posting that soon on crafty kidlets.

Dancing Girls!

A trip to Grandmas

So last Thursady we went to go visit Grandma & Grandpa while Ben was in Boise for a singing competition. Allison loves going to Grandma's class and she even got to participate this time. She also got to ride the school bus to the pumpkin patch with the kids. We went to Hunter Farms and the drive there is beautiful...I love the fall! I was a little disappointed that the farm is starting to charge for everything, I guess they have to make a living but it is still a bummer.

Say a little prayer for me

Emma is such a doll, she has learned to fold her arms and bow her head for prayers.
