Halloween 2013

Halloween 2013

We had two sheep and a potato head. We went trick or treating in Aunt Andreas neighborhood. Kinslee thought it was the best thing ever.

Pumpkin Walk

We went to the Syracuse pumpkin walk again this year. I only took this one picture.

Carmel Apples

Tonight we made Carmel apples

Kinslee and Gretchen unwrapped the Carmel's.

Easton washed the apples.

Gretchen had a hard time eating hers since she is missing two teeth. So after this picture we cut it up.

Kinslee had one taste then she kept trying to eat Gretchen.

 This year we went trick or treating at Aunt Andrea's & Uncle Chucks house with some of our cousins.    

 Gretchen and Kinslee walking to a house.

 Kinslee found a friend in uncle Kyle.  She realized that he would open any candy she wanted.

Carving Pumpkins

We carved our pumpkins last night. 

 I think this picture is awesome, you can totally see how grossed out Easton is.

 Gretchen however was totally grossed out but she doesn't show that on her face. 

 Kinslee wouldn't even touch it

 until we gave her a spoon.  Easton shared his pumpkin with Kinslee because when we opened up hers it was rotten and nasty inside.

 Gretchen carving her pumpkin with some help from dad.

 The finished products.

The happy carvers.

Pumpkin Walk 2012

This first picture has nothing to do with the pumpkin walk, but it is seriously dang cute.

 Our naughty little sweetie pie.

 Every year we try to go to the pumpkin walk.  It is hundreds of jack o lanterns

 All the kids in front of the sign

we let Kinslee walk. Oh man she had the time of her life. She was right at eye level with all the pumpkins. 

 Easton and Gretchen 

Halloween 2011

We had a very fun filled Halloween. The kids didn't have school today so we were able to sleep in. Easton and Gretchen made some Halloween candy necklaces and then we went to Aunt Andrea's house to play with cousins. We came home carved pumpkins, ate chili and then went trick or treating. 

Gretchen likes trick or treating but only for a little while. She asked her dad to take her home. Easton stayed out for 15-20 more houses and then he was done also.  Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Walk

 Every year a neighboring city has a pumpkin walk with hundreds of carved pumpkins to walk through.  It turns out that the preschool that Gretchen goes to is actually the people who started the pumpkin walk years ago, so this year Gretchen was able to carve a pumpkin for it. 

 Here the kids are before, doesn't Gretchen look thrilled.

This is Gretchen in front of her pumpkin.  It is the one just over her right shoulder. 

This year it was pretty chilly and Kinslee was not a huge fan so we didn't see all of them.

Halloween 2010

Here is a few pictures of what we did to celebrate Halloween!

Carving Pumpkins!

 Gretchen wasn't a big fan of cleaning out the pumpkin. 

  Easton wasn't a big fan either but he was a good sport and did anyway. 

 Dad helping Gretchen draw the face of what she wanted cut out.

 Easton cut his own pumpkin face out this year all buy himself. 

Every year I have gotten there picture taken in there costume, but this year I did it my self and don't know if that was that Great of an idea.  Here are my best 3.   

 Here is our glowing carved pumpkins.  Nothing exciting this year!

 Then we went trick or treating with some friends and I had my camera and didn't take a single picture.  Oh well they had a good time.  Gretchen did get a little cold by the time we were done.  It has been a very Happy Halloween at our house this year!

Ward Halloween Party

We had our ward Halloween party last night to kick off our Halloween festivities.  Here is a picture of Easton and Gretchen before we left. 

 Easton is a Duck Hunter and Gretchen is Cinderella.

I didn't take very many at the party I don't know why. 

 Gretchen in the Cupcake walk.

Chad and Easton playing a game.  Easton won!

Then they trick or treated and came home with a lot of candy.  I haven't stolen to much either, so yeah me!  The party was way fun!

Carmel Apples

 Last night we made some Carmel apples. 

 Putting the Carmel on.

 It takes a lot of concentration

 The apples in the oven.

 The finished product. 

Easton had a hard time eating it because he is missing two teeth.  We had to end up cutting it up for him.  He enjoyed every last bite then. 

Halloween 2009

Easton likes the whole carving pumpkins but he isn't a big fan of touching the inside. He said he would clean his out. It took him 2 hours to get it all done.

Gretchen didn't like getting her fingers all yucky but she hurried and did it.

We had lots of pumpkins this year. I bought 2 and then Easton's preschool gave us four.
Chad did the Mummy, and monster thing. Easton's is the other one.

Gretchen's

This is mine.

Getting ready to go trick-or-treating!

Isn't this the cutest thing ever? I think so!

Checking out there loot.

We had a ward party earlier in the week and they both got so much candy that we only went to our little neighborhood. They were both in bed a little after 8pm.
