We had a fantastic Halloween this year!
It was so fun doing family costumes - we decided to do Star Wars theme!
Colin was super excited about being Yoda, Maggie was loving the idea of being Princess Leia, we thought Eli would make an adorable Ewok, and Brian and I got our Star Wars characters by default. He figured we needed to have a Hans Solo or Luke Skywalker, and then of course, we had to have a Darth Vader. So, that was me. I'd like to think it's not because I'm a big meanie, but that might be.
Since Halloween fell on a Monday, we carved pumpkins the weekend before so that they didn't get rotten before Halloween night. It worked out perfect that we didn't have a soccer game or other commitment that day.
Maggie didn't want to do any carving, just some painting.
Fine by me!
The boys with the bag of pumpkin guts!
Part way through with Maggie's painting
Brian working hard with the scary faced pumpkin
Colin also decided he wanted to paint a Pikachu on another pumpkin.
He drew it all by himself and painted it, too!
I was really impressed.
Brian still working hard...
Colin's Pikachu pumpkin - still working on it
Maggie's painted pumpkins turned into painting the whole thing...
She had fun though, that's all that matters!
My boys
Eli wanted to hang with his brother on the couch - it was so cute!
Colin even got Eli laughing so hard
We went to Grammie and Granddad's for dinner on Halloween.
It was a little tricky though, because maggie had a tummy ache and wasn't really interested in anything at all besides hanging out in the bathroom.
She did escape long enough for a family picture, but just couldn't really muster up a smile :)

Our 3 goobers right before heading out to trick or treat.
Maggie did end up rallying and feeling better once she had a little 10 minute power nap.
We had a great night and the weather was perfect - about 70 degree while they were walking around the neighborhood.
Eli and I handed out the candy while Brian took the other 2 out for the night.
It was a little hard being a Monday night and staying up past bedtime, but we're recovering nicely.
Happy Halloween!
