HALLOWEEN FUN

I pretty much love all holidays but I really really love HALLOWEEN! Every year I rack my brain trying to come up with a costume idea for me and Cody (he's not much help considering he doesn't get quite as excited as I do) this year I decided that we were going to go as BERT AND ERNIE! However I decided just 4 days before Halloween. Some of you are saying "Oh 4 days is enough time" but not so much if you are making your own costume. Yep, me, make the costumes...but I am proud to say I did it! Finished about 2 seconds before we walked out the door. They turned out great in my opinion but our actual outfits could have used a little more help. Maybe next year???
The party that we went to turned out to be tons of fun and we won best costume! I was so excited!

I love any holiday that you can somehow celebrate for a couple of days, not just on the actual day. This year I got lucky! Our party ended up being on Friday night so we had all of Halloween day to celebrate some more. So during the day we went to our friends Tim and Brittny to carve pumpkins and later that night we passed out candy. Can I just add that Cody had more fun answering the door and trying to scare the kids then they did going trick or treating. He is still such a kid!
Me, Cody, Harv, Lara, Brittny, Tim, and Lion, I mean Cason
Us with our pumpkins...I set the automatic timer. Hence the reason why I look like such a dork, my pumpkin weighed like 100 pounds.
Me and Cody's up close
We all had a contest to see who could carve the best pumpkin but we had to make it fair so they had the trick or treaters be the judges. I still don't know who won. But it was fun to have a little competition.
