The kids were off on Columbus Day so we took them & two friends to the pumpkin patch.
Halloween fell on a Monday. We carved our pumpkins the Sunday before. Ben had picked a little pumpkin that was too small to carve, so we let him paint his. Isn't it cute? Isn't he cute? :)
It must have been Lily who took this pic, but I liked that it documents me carving the kids' pumpkins. Peter drew me a picture that he wanted it to look like. Mattie, our neighbor, came out and carved Lily's pumpkin. Woohoo. I didn't actually get pictures of our finished products. But read previous years here: 2014, 2013, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010
Ben was Benjamin Bunny. It was a day of decision. We'd talked about him being a puppy but when I bought home the puppy ears, he got cold feet and Lily decided she liked them. So I spend one afternoon sewing spots on a sweatshirt outfit for Lily. I ran out on Halloween to just buy a costume for B, but I was just too cheap. So sewed these rabbit ears for him about an hour before the kids got home. He also had a little yarn pom pom cotton tail. I attempted to dye a sweater brown with Rit Dye but it came out silver. So as he woke up from his nap, I opened his closet brainstorming brown sweater options, and found this one that one of my mom's friends knitted for Lily! I finished up the "headband" minutes before we walked out the door. Mike was cutting carrotts for the neighborhood gathering so we handed him one. :) Whew. A close one.
Our neighborhood has pizza beforehand. :)
Our only pic of the crew.
We went super simple this year after a family star wars theme last year.
A ninja- bought a black shirt and red duct tape. :)
