Halloween

What were the boys for Halloween this year, the same blood sucking zombies they have been for the past 4 years. I'm getting really good at doing their makeup quickly. We went out with some neighborhood kids, Veronic and Melisanda live up the street and go to the boys old school. Veronica is the blond witch. Emily, with the blue hair and raincoat goes to their old school too. Emily and her parents were our first friends when we moved in almost 5 years ago! The Ninja next to Jacob is his friend Cameron from swim team and he now goes to school with him. Here are our pumpkins before we carved them. Wow, did time get away from me this year. The boys carved theirs at grandpa's on Saturday and I did mine at 3:00 on Sunday with the help of the boys. We got some great shapes from the pumpkin patch and they were much easier to carve and clean than the one from the grocery store. The two littlest pumpkins did not get carved, one is for a pie and the other I didn't have time for.
Here is before...........
..........Here is after. My pumpkin is on the left, Jacob's is in the middle, and Jackson's is on the right. I love Jacob's, what a great shape. In case you can't make it out, his has a face on top, BOO on the neck and a witch on the belly and it's all topped off with a witched hat.
