Halloween 2013

I wanted Marcus to tell us what he wanted to be for Halloween. I wasn't surpised when he said he wanted to be a Cow. He was the cutest cow there ever was. I found a cute mouse costume at Costco and realized I couldn't make a costume for as cheap as I could buy one at costco.

Dave's family got together to show off the kids costumes, carve a few pumpkins and let the kids have some fun.

We tried making caramel apples. The first batch we made homemade caramel and it turned out great, except it hardened to the point of breaking a tooth. We tried it again with caramels and it turned out much better. I think we started a new tradition.

Marcus loves to make sugar cookies so we made halloween sugar cookies and he ate them all month long.

My family got together for my sister's yummy homemade donuts. The kids looked so cute in their costumes, some were not there but we still had a great time.

We carved pumpkins for our front porch - a "Baby's 1st" halloween pumpkin for Lucy, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood pumpkin for Marcus, a "trick-or-treat" for mommy, a bone for toby, daddy did a minion and Jack Skelington.

We trick-or-treated at Daddy's work - Newmark Grubb Acres. Daddy dressed up as Buddy the Elf.

Then we went trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. Marcus did great at saying trick-or-treat even though he was sick with a cold. Lucy tagged along and mommy and daddy ate her candy.
