Halloween

After about a month of asking I was finally able to tell Natalie that yes, today was Halloween. We went to our ward's trunk-or-treat last night and the kids had a lot of fun. Natalie was Tinker Bell (Bee Bell as Kelton would say) and Kelton was Peter Pan. Although the consensus was that Kelton was Robin Hood. I admit that his costume was very multifunctional. I realized after I made it that people would think he was Robin Hood. But come on....Tinker Bell and Robin Hood? Yeah, that doesn't really work. Oh well, he was really cute anyway. Peter Pan, Robin Hood, Link from the Zelda games...he really could have been almost anything!

We carved pumpkins yesterday. I was at a meeting while Nate and the kids cleaned out the pumkins, but how cute is this picture? I guess they were supposed to be taking turns pulling out the seeds. Yeah, we all know how well that works. Nate said they had a ball. They probably couldn't believe they were being allowed to make such a mess.
And here is the finished product. Nate did the one on the left and I did the one on the right. It's a web. Get it? Yeah, nevermind... (we had one little girl get the joke at the trunk-or-treat)And here are the costumes. I put some better pictures from the Halloween story time below because this year, for the first time ever, I actually had to put clothes on underneath my kids costumes! It was actually cold outside--very different. We probably should have put jackets on them as well, but then Natalie wouldn't have been able to wear her wings, which you can't see anyway because they kept turning sideways.Beautiful little Tinker Bell dancing to a song at storytime. Robin Hood, I mean Peter Pan inspecting his treats.
