Falloween (Fall and Halloween) Pictures

Happy Halloween
Mike's creations from the pumpkin patch
Our Costumes at the trunk or treat at church.
(We pirates keep a gourmet chef on board to cook up our lobsters.)
I couldn't talk Dylan into wearing this wig with his Incredible Hulk costume.
This mullet is a party in the front and the back.

Mike carved 5 pumpkins in under one hour.

The kids slowly started to introduce sugar into their bloodstreams on Friday so that the massive amounts of Halloween candy on Saturday would not completely shock their systems. Dylan is enjoying a chocolate dipped pretzel skeleton finger. Amber already enjoyed hers.

Leaves...leaves...and more leaves...Olivia shows us how to carve a pumpkin.
Cut a hole in the top. Scoop half of the flesh out. Repeatedly stab pumpkin with a sharp object that no three-year-old should EVER be allowed to hold.
Don't make her mad.
Cuddle one of the cats for 30 seconds every three minutes, or until they find a good hiding place.
Lance challenged himself this year by picking out an advanced pattern from our pumpkin stencils. He did a great job. Scary!
Dylan has his own pumpkin carving habits--some of them less sanitary and socially acceptable than others.
Amber supervised Lance and inspected the festive Halloween lighting.
