Halloween 2010

We had such a great Halloween this year. We carved pumpkins and the kids actually help but found it to be gross. Persephone was a witch and Orion was scooby-doo. I was a school girl. We had so much fun getting together with the family. Thanks so Sarah for hosting the party as usually, we really appreciated it. The kids loved trick or treating, Orion didn't want to stop but finally relented. Great time and cant wait for next year!

Halloween

Halloween was great! Persephone really wanted to be a fairy but I just couldn't find the right costume. She ended up being a cheerleader (which she loved)! Orion was a doctor, he didn't really care but had a lot of fun. I always like to carve pumpkins with them. I guess I forgot that I had to do all the work last year. It wasn't so fun for me but the kids really enjoyed it.

On Friday we went and trick or treated at Jackson's work. Now normally this is really fun, but Persephone wasn't being her usually careful self and pocked her eye with a pencil (not sharpened) We didn't think so much at the time but as the night wore on she was complaining more. So, I had to take her to an urgent care. She had a corneal abrasion. She was so brave! Normally they won't even look at kids eyes that young. I thought I was going to have to go to the ER but she did it and got a little cauldron full of candy.

The next day she was fine and was able to go trick or treating with the family. She didn't last long because she got cold but had fun with all the kids. It was a great Halloween.

Our Halloween Extravaganza!!!

Well, our Halloween was a busy one. By the time it was all over I was all "halloweened" out but Persephone really enjoyed it. Our first appearance was at our playgroup. She really loved that except one of the kids had white makeup on his face and she was really scared of him. We had a great time.

On Thursday we went to school where she got to wear her costume and she got to trick or treat with the other class.

On Halloween day we went to Jackson's work first. She was really shy there. A lot of people had costumes on and she got really scared of some of them. One girl was dressed as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and Persephone was not at all excited. She wouldn't even go near her. I was so surprised that it took us over an hour to get through it all. Later on that day we went to the mall and had dinner. We also got to do trick or treating there. Then it was off to Sarah, Miles and Lamar's house for a party and MORE trick or treating. It was so fun! Persephone had a really great time. It was fun to see the family in costumes. Miles was a pirate and Ester was a scarecrow or a farmer I am not sure which (Sorry I didn't ask). I was so tired at the end of it all and glad that it is over but still excited for next year. Persephone still asks to wear her costume. It's cute!!!

Pumpkin Carving

Persephone and I finally carved our pumpkin. I really though she was going to love this but when I cut off the lid and told her to start scooping it out she was grossed out. I ended up doing it while she played with the seeds on the table. It was a lot of work but we all enjoyed the finished product. It only last for like three days because I didn't factor in the Utah climate. So, our pumpkin started to rot but we enjoyed it while it was here and next year it will be better!
