HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Just a little bit of Hocus Pocus!

We'll put a spell on yoooou!

Presenting the Sanderson Sisters, The spell book, Binks the cat, and Billie the Zombie:

A few items of business- if you've never seen Hocus Pocus (gasp!) then you wont fully appreciate these costumes. But no matter what, you will appreciate that my mom designed and sewed the girls' costumes!! (I am still so spoiled) and she did an AMAZING job!! Can't thank you enough, Mom! (and I made Johnny's spell book onesie and I was proud of myself.)

I had a lot of creative ideas surging through me for this photo shoot but alas, it was not meant to be. Johnny was uncomfortable and crying the whole time and Rose didn't want her costume on so I kept distracting her with candy, so the photos were a mad dash of snap shots with a nice camera. But hey, we still managed some fun ones. And the family photos and fun/creepy zombie in the leaves photos were taken by our cousin, Chelsea! 

So anyway, Happy Halloween!

Witches and Scarecrows

The other weekend we woke up early and went to a “Witch breakfast” at Thanksgiving point with Jade and Curtis and their girls. There were witches and wizards, good food, pumpkins to decorate and cookies to frost, potions to make, real spiders to look at up close, and a costume contest. It was great!

Looking at the tarantula!

Making potions. June made a "love potion" and Hazel made one that "turns spiders into sugar."

After that we went to the scarecrow festival (the breakfast was at the building of the entrance to the gardens) and wandered through that. It was fun enough, but kind of rushed because Rose was throwing a tantrum the whole way through- like Buck had to hold her as she screamed the whole time. It was sad because she started out so excited to see all the scarecrows. :( Hurts my heart. But it ended with bounce houses and she finally calmed down so over all I guess everyone had a good time.

My three little witches

 And since Johnny managed to escape the photographs I took one at home of him in his monster outfit. :) He wasn't thrilled about that.

Yay for fun Fall and Halloween activities!
