Halloweekend

It was Lilah's first Halloween!  She was probably the least excited one of us, but Ethie-man was SUPER excited!  He couldn't decide what to be this year, but finally decided on Batman (with muscles).  Friday he dressed up in his pirate skeleton costume from last year and we went to a party at our apartment complex where he won a gift card for best costume since he was the only one who dressed up.  Yay Ethie!  Then we went out to eat and since Ethie was still dressed up, he got his meal for 99 cents.  I love costumes! 

That night, Ashley and Brandon came over for a pumpkin-carving party.  Ashley made yummy food and we had a great time finally doing something with our pumpkin.  James is always in charge since he is the creative one, but he let Ethie draw the face on the pumpkin and then he cut it out.  It ended up looking adorably awkward :)  They had fun scooping out the guts and Ethie loved the end result.  And I loved cooking the pumpkin seeds.  Yummy!

 

 The next night was the church trunk-or-treat so we all decided to get dressed up.  James was a greaser and he looked awesome.  I wore a poodle skirt to match him :)  Lilah-bug was a yellow-jacket in honor of her daddy's school.  She was so cute and round and slept through most of the event since she was so warm and cozy.  Grandma and Scotty came up to join us and Scotty traumatized all the little kids with his Santa costume.  It was very funny!  And of course, Batman...

There were lots of games to play at the trunks and Ethie had a blast! 

I had to take a few more pictures when we got home.  They were so cute!  Well, Scotty was a little scary :)

And finally, the next night, we went to a friend's party and then trick-or-treating.  So much candy and Ethie had so much fun!  Good thing Halloween only comes once a year, right?
