Halloween 2008

Ellie and Cameron

Ellie making a pumpkin cake with the seeds

the cleaning of the pumpkin...that goodness the kids love it! Camers was a little hesitant at first....then dug right in This was Ellie's idea....pretending to be pumpkins, too!

Mom and Camers

Daddy's little princess....or fairy!

One of the cars was decorated in the 101 dalmations theme.

This was Cruela....a pretty good one!

My brother got the kids these slimy eyeballs that roll down

surfaces. They loved this game! Yuk! Nasty things!

Howdy all! So sorry it's been a while! I have a zillion excuses to give you.....but I'll save time and just get to posting the info! Halloween was perfect! It rained all day (which we desperately need) until 3pm, then stopped until 8pm. So, the church got all the stuff set up and since it ended at 8pm, it worked out perfectly! Only one flaw....our camera went haywire after about 4 pics so we didn't get as many as we wanted! But there are a few to share! Cam loved getting the candy. He caught on very quickly to who to hold out the bucket to! They do a 'trunk-or-treat' in the church parking lot. About 40 cars pick a theme to decorate to and then you go from car to car and get candy. We only got one pic of one theme as our camera died. They are very fun and creative to say the least. As we were out driving, we noticed not many trick or treaters were really out. My mom only got a handful and she normally has a ton. Guess people are going more for the organized activities. It's hard to beat them! They have free food and a ton of activities. Ellie loved the bounce houses the best....especially the obstacle course one. Cam loved his Tigger outfit. He loved holding the tail. But it wasn't too long so he's say "where'd it go?" each time he dropped hold of it and you'd have to hand it back to him. It was awfully cute watching him walk around holding his little Tigger tail! Ellie was a beautiful purple fairy with a fun light up wand. Oh, to be a kid again.......hope you enjoy!
