Halloween fun

Just a few pictures of Lyla Lou for the ten minutes that she has been happy today! I thought I would take advantage of the few minutes to get her in her Halloween costume, an orange onesie and orange flower in her hair! I was able to make her laugh, even though the camera was out. Usually when she sees the camera the smile fades away and her look becomes somewhat confused!

We decorated pumpkins for Family Night last Monday. Unfortunately, they started getting soft and molding the day after! It has been about 85 degrees every day this week! Definitely not the kind of Halloween weather I grew up with!

I got one of those pumpkin carving kits this year, so as to avoid trying to figure out what and how to carve. Growing up, the carving of pumpkins was my least favorite part of Halloween. I learned to just turn my pumpkin over to my brother Scott. This year, the carving kits made it easy to have a fun looking pumpkin. A little time consuming for Mike and I, but the kids loved them!

This one is Madelyn's:

Michael was all about the pirate pumpkin:

And Abby, of course, wanted the princess castle:

Looking forward to trick or treating, hopefully we will get some good pics!
