Halloween Happenings and More

Ka-Chow (for those avid Cars fans out there - you will know what that means...Beau says it all the time...)
Before leaving to trick-or-treat on our front porch steps. Abby seriously would strike this pose every time she was holding this gun - hilarious. In case you can't tell, they are Luke and Leia from Star Wars.
Just a sampling of how very into Halloween our neighborhood is - so much fun for the kids. This is our neighbors' house two doors down.
Two blocks up on our street there is this big ol' white house that is so pretty that is owned by the guy who made the Roly-Poly movie, among other things. They go ALL out for this holiday. They had stuff all over the place - including a tent from a funeral home set up. Craziness!! They are really sweet, and she let the kids pick 5 pieces of candy each, which they just loved...
Snow White (by Mommy) and Lightning McQueen (by Daddy). We thought Daddy did a fantastic job of his "challenging" pattern of McQueen, didn't he? I was just happy you could tell who Snow White was (and mine was "moderate" difficulty - ha!). The carving of the pumpkins was so much fun, and especially fun to see the end results.
The kids posing by their pumpkins
The cookie gram sent by their cousin Will! Thanks guys - they LOVED this and ate one each while they carved pumpkins.

This about sums up how we all feel after this week!!
I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!

Love the pumpkins. I really love Abby's pose, so into character. I think it's great that your neighborhood gets so into Halloween. You should be very proud of your Snow White!!!

LOVE their outfits!! They are so cute but I don't see how you got away from beau wanting to be lighting mcqueen or mator or something from that movie for halloween. Toby did an awesome job on his pumpkin, and so did you deedee. Looks like ya'll had so much fun. Miss you all sooooooo much. Can't wait to see you in Dec.
