Halloween 2009

Halloween fell on shabbat this year ... so we didn't go trick or treating but the kids did lots of other fall/halloween related activities and enjoyed, check out the pics to prove it.
This is our new favorite picture of the kids - I mean could they look any cuter? The weather friday afternoon was pretty warm so they hung out in the front yard and posed on the front steps. Notice our lovely pumpkins which Mama and the kids painted.

Here is Zoe painting her pumpkin. She was very busy putting A LOT of paint on - the colors blended into a pinkish/brownish/purple. She was very intensely painting and then proceeded to paint her mini white pumpkin too.


Zachary immediately painted a face on his pumpkin - and a pretty good one at that. He asked Mama to paint his name on the other side and he also painted rainbow stripes on it. Later he asked to cut into his pumpkin too ... but we didn't - too messy without Daddy who was working.

How awesome did they come out ... Mama did the stripes, which Zachary loved. Hope it doesn't rain too much or the steps will not be white.

On Halloween night the kids got into costumes to answer the door - Zachary chose his Veterinarian costume (Zoe is holding the puppy) and Zoe was a fairy. The kids don't remember going trick or treating 2 years ago so they weren't sad to not be going out this year - especially since we let them have some candy and stay up late in hopes of averting the early wake time with daylight savings time ending.


We got a Halloween package from Aunt Marcia and Mamma (Rita) - it included these funny glasses. The kids looked so funny in them we had to share. The funny mustache tickled Zachary's face and the other glasses almost gave Daddy a headache!


Hope everyone enjoyed their activities - Halloween and Shabbat.
