It all started a couple weeks ago painting pumpkins at a friends house...
The beautiful results!
Trying to get the kids to pose with their pumpkins, but they weren't in the mood.
Then aunt Mel came to visit the week before Halloween. (we love the pirate Halloween shirts Grandma Debbie got them, they wore them a lot in the last few weeks, soooo cute!)
Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's church Halloween party. Filled with "trunk" or treating, hay rides, chili cook off, and lots of fun.
Zac wanted to decorate the cookies but didn't want to eat them with all the frosting and candies on them. (Notice the plain cookie in his hand!) Landon was more than happy to eat Zac's masterpieces.

Grandpa Jim dressed up like Captin Jack Sparrow, and everyone was so impressed except for Zac. Zac was terrified of him and wouldn't go near him all night and cried if Jim tried to talk to him! It was so funny.
I put up a few simple decorations. I like my dollar store doormat! What a great find. Zac likes the spider that drops down (up by the front door- kinda hard to see in the picture)

Then it was finally the Day of Halloween!!!
I hosted a little party with friends from church. We made a couple easy crafts (thanks Ruth your spider webs were so cute) and decorated Halloween cookies (Valerie they were yummy! thanks for going to all that trouble!)

Grandma and Grandpa stopped by later with some Halloween baskets filled with goodies! Man, their Easter baskets have some competition now!
FINALLY TRICK OR TREATING!!!
Getting ready to go out and trick or treat. The boys loved it! We went with a group of friends from church. I didn't think to bring my camera out to catch the action, but the kids were so cute. Zac kept trying to go up twice at each house. He loved it, except for a lady dressed as a witch passing out candy. He wouldn't go near her. Thanks for letting us hang at your house Kristen and go around your neighboorhood.

All in all a great day. We were just sad that Jamie had to be out of town and missed the trick or treating. Guess who gets to take them next year! (and I'm gonna make you dress up too Jamie!)

I love your costumes! Sounds like you had a blast. Great music. The "Thriller" music adds just the right spooky touch!
