Halloween Weekend

WARNING...LOTS OF PICTURES AHEAD!

We had a jam packed weekend starting with our Ward Halloween Party. Andy and I were in charge of the food and so got there early to cook it and Jacob fell asleep in the car. He remained asleep on the couch in the foyer through the entire party. He woke up just in time for the Trunk or Treat.

Jacob was Flynn Rider and Abby was Rapunzel. She was dying to wear long hair so I sewed an extension into her hair and braided it along with her real hair. I think it turned out pretty cool. Her darling dress was made be her Grammy.

Jacob is still a zombie in all of these pictures. It took him a while to figure out where he was and what was going on?

I made Jacob's costume all by myself. With mom no longer around to help with my sewing efforts it was up to me. I broke out the machine only to discover that the cord was missing. So, since I waited until the day of to make his costume I had no choice but to resort to other measures. I cut out a the peices for his vest using a puffer vest he already owned then hot glued the seams together. That's right, HOT GLUE! It worked! Thank goodness....I did sew on the hooks and elastic for his boot toppers with I borrowed from a friend. The belt around his waist is Daddy's and I made the satchel with brown felt and you guessed, HOT GLUE. Better pictures of his costume are below.
WHO Ordered SNOW in OCTOBER! THis is what we woke up to on Saturday. Needless to say I was not ready or prepared for this.

Of course the kids thought it was great. They were outside almost all day. Well, at least Abby was. Jacob isn't as big a fan of the cold.Look at those red cheeks and nose, so cute. The kids played while Andy and I painted froze painting furniture in the garage.

On Sunday we made Caramel Apples! YUMMY! This is one of my most favorite treats of all. They turned out pretty dang good. Wish you could all be here to enjoy them with us.

And of course Carving Pumpkins had to happen. No Halloween is complete with out it. Thankfully Andy took over the duty. The pumpkin thing was really grossing me out this year.

I think they did a great job.

Thank goodness the weather warmed up a bit and the snow melted. We had a light drizzle/sprinkle for Halloween but is wasn't too bad.

I dyed Jacobs hair with color mouse. It is really easy to use and washes right out. He just couldn't be Flynn with blonde hair, right?

If you've noticed Abby's face at all she has a lot of scratches on it from Jacob. He is really rough and always claws at her face. After church on Sunday I think she had had it because she pushed him down when they were running to the car and now he has a lovely bruise on his forehead. Don't you just love sibling love!

Hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween!
