Pumpkins, Mickey Mouse, and the Ladybug


We carved pumpkins for FHE monday night with Lance, Autumn, and Paisley. I think we have a new tradition in our house, but I can tell that Ted and I are going to have to pick it up a notch to equal the Lance Peck Family. They brought 3 pumpkins, carving tools, and patterns and carved 2 pumpkins. We carved one. Maybe next year Troy will care more about having his own. The kids liked it for the first 5 minutes then got distracted. We ended the evening with tired kids and sugar cookies.

This is the face she gives me when I pull out my camera now. Hilarious!
Tuesday night our ward had their trunk-or-treat. It was freezing! The kids were done before we even got all the way around the parking lot. But being the good parent I am, I made them get as much candy as possible :) Now we don't have to go out on Halloween unless it's good weather.
Troy as Mickey Mouse, Zada the Ladybug, and Paisley the Fairy
Troy, of course, wanted to be Mickey Mouse. I picked up Zada's costume at Other Mothers in Boise. Don't let the smiles fool you, she hated it when I put it on her. Maybe she just hated all the layers I put under her costume.

Yes, that is snow on the ground. I'm glad thats all we got.

So Cute!! Halle is a ladybug as well and I think her costume is the exact same as Zada's minus the stripped leggings. Great minds think alike.

So do you guys live in Boise now? It would be so fun to see you guys sometime as we live here now too!

I LOVE Zada's "camera face!" Natalie used to do the same thing, and it was always hilarious. :) Cute costumes on those kiddos!

That is an adorable lady bug costume!! I love her cheesy camera grin.

So glad you include one-liners from Troy on the side-bar. Those are HILARIOUS!!!

I was hoping there would be new Halloween Pics. My nephew would close his eyes as a precaution as well--I think from the flash.

Hey Annette! The My Kitchen Cafe site is linked on my blog under Good Eats. It's under Kitchen Cafe. It is a great site! All of them are...I'm really into the Bakerella site linked on my blog right now. So fun!

Of course Troy wanted to be "Mick." And Zada--what a doll! We've been missing you guys so much. Give those cuties hugs for us!
