We are talking about Halloween here people!! As many of you know, I am in love with Halloween and because of that, Ben and Alonna also love Halloween! The house has been decorated for a long time and I have been forcing others to celebrate with me. The first victims of this was Jeane and Ayesha. They thought they were coming for a simple trip, but we were able to make it into a spooky time!
First the girls (and Ben) were dragged to to a local pumpkin patch! We went to visit Callie and her perfect pumpkins (and got some great pics too!)
Yes she is a cute pumpkin fairy!! (thanks jeane and Ayesha for the amazing b-day gift)
After the visit to the pumpkin patch, what would be more perfect then Spooky Dinner. Jeane, Ben and I labored over a hot stove making spooky dinner and to try to surprise Ayesha and Alonna with our culinary creativity! I think we did a great job!
Jeane stiring the "quicksand"
The spread- quicksand with rotten apples, green guts. Ayesha's skinned knees, spooky head, and Lorena Bobbits
After a quick trip to the costume store, we found some cool hair for Alonna and Ayesha, cool slap bracelets and some hot sunglasses
After all the antics, we got down to the good stuff- pumpkin carving!! Jeane went with the old school pumpkin head, Ayesha with a political plea persuading people to vote (oh Ayesha) and my silly pumpkin face!
Once the girls left, Ben had a bit of Halloween down time. But today was Halloween so he was showered in Halloween Joy!! The morning was normal other than everyone being woken up to "Happy Halloween!" Later in the day, Alonna painted her little pumpkin. She loved playing with the paint and creating her own pumpkin.
We were going to meet our baby friend at the mall for some fun trick or treating fun, but instead Alonna tried to make friends with a bee... you can imagine how well that went but valuable life lesson learned- don't pick up bees!! We stayed home so her thumb could heal and we could watch the swelling. Soon she was back to her self, and back to Halloween fun! As usual Ben and I carved our pumpkins. And as usual, mine was super cute and Ben's was super elaborate and cool

Ben's super cool pumpkin
After pumpkin time came costume time! Alonna was a tulip fairy, I was a witch (again) and Ben was a Dad (: We went to one house and got a treat bag from the neighbor. After the trick or treating, we sat on the lawn watching the other kids and were joined by the neighbors for a spooky chat.
Here we go!!

We love Halloween and can't wait until next year! I'm already planning
