Halloween Pictures

At school Ryan had a Halloween Parade on Thursday. I went and checked it out and took some pictures. He was Superman that day.



Tonight, Halloween, Ryan decided to be Jack Sparrow again, just like last year. Jack was Batman. He looooves his Batman costume.

Colin was a peapod, and a happy one too! He slept most of the time we were trick or treating.

We went with a few families from the ward. In the past we have gone with Cassie and Sabrina, but this year they wanted to go with friends.

This haunted house scared Jack so much that he almost stopped trick or treating right then. He did not like the scary stuff. This house had scary noises and a fog machine. It was pretty cool.

In the "real world" Joker and Batman are friends. With Batman is Joker, AKA Eli, an older boy that goes to church. He has a couple of younger siblings, Isaac and Zoe. Zoe and Jack play together quite a bit. It was nice of him to hang with Jack and help him out. Jack really liked it.

For most of the night Ryan was running from house to house trying to get as much candy was possible. Not so much to get the candy, but to beat all of the other kids to the door.

For the pumpkins we only had two, one for Jack and one for Ryan. Jack's is right below and Ryan's is the one with the square nose. Ryan drew out what he wanted on a sheet of paper and then he and I tried to replicate it on the pumpkin with a pen prior to me cutting it. Getting the guts out really, really grosses Ryan out. I thought it was funny so I had to make a big deal out of getting the guts out and plopping them on to a towel on the floor. Ryan retched and ran to the bathroom as he couldn't stomach the sight nor the sound of me making throw up noises while the string nasty stuff and seeds flowed out of each pumpkin. Jack watched but he wouldn't touch the stuff. I really tried to cut exactly what they drew. In the case of the wide mouth I drew what Jack said--he wanted a really big smiley mouth with big teeth. He helped draw the teeth and he drew the eyes, nose and one ear. Ryan drew his own pumpkin mouth and I copied his design off of his paper for the eyes and nose.


The pumpkins aren't nearly as scary with the flash on.
