Halloween Prep

Yesterday was one of those days that makes me feel accomplished. Not that we did anything grand, but we got a lot done. Two Dr.'s appointments for Sammy(the finger Dr said everything was perfect), two store's, made cookies with Andi after school time, carved pumpkins, and made fairy wings. Like I said, nothing grand. The carving was interesting this year as Andi wanted a princess pumpkin and wanted to do it all by herself; and Sammy was interested for about 3 seconds, and then would run off and come back a few minutes later to check out the progress Thad was making.

No this is not Sammy rolling up his sleeves to get to work. This is Sammy trying to pull his sleeve down because he was not going to stick his arm in that thing.

 

Andi hard at work, she actually did pretty well.

He only really became interested in the pumpkin when Thad put the candle in it.

Andi with her pumpkin. Can you see the eye lashes? and no that isn't a mustache it's lips!

Close up of the princess pumpkin so you can see the crown I helped Andi glue on.

Thad has been working on his Halloween costume for about two months now. It took a while to get all the parts and paints ordered. His company has a costume contest every year with a prize and all, so of course Thad has to win. So here is this years home made costume.

Pretty sweet right?! He can see through the eyes and mouth, and he actually has a hard hat mounted up inside the head to keep it stable.
