Halloween Week Fun!

We had such a busy Halloween this year. And the kids had a blast! The boys (along with some suggestion help by Mommy) decided they wanted to be Tom & Jerry this year for Halloween. They LOVE Tom & Jerry...in fact, a little too much. That show is quite violent, and we have since had to eliminate it from our viewing schedule as the boys have all but tried to hit each other over the head with frying pans, if you know what I mean. But, we had decided on the costumes long ago, and stuck with them. I was not pleased with the store bought costumes I was finding, so I decided to make them. My mom made our costumes every year, so I figured I better start living up to her standards ;) I was quite pleased with how they turned out...

Last year, all the girls in my bible study had a group portrait made of our kids in their costumes. It was crazy, fun, and turned out cute, so we decided to give it a shot again this year. If only you could see video footage of what all it took to finally get this shot. Hilarious. But I think having all 16 kids looking in the general direction of the camera is pretty impressiveOn Friday, Jackson's class dressed up as their favorite "letter person". Jackson chose to go as Mr. B, Beautiful Buttons. He was very proud of the shirt he helped me make :) My cute little Tom & Jerry They LOVED their little skeleton flashlights that Chief and Kikye got them.
Our annual first stop...Mrs. June and Mr. Darrell's house next door. Look at those cute little tails!On Sunday, we went to the Trunk or Treat/Fall Festival at the boys' school. It was great! Jackson experienced spin art for the first time, and quickly added it to his Birthday/Christmas list :)

*that does NOT mean that everyone should get that for him...it's already been claimed :)
The highlight was probably getting to ride the mini Thomas train around the parking lot.
Doesn't Tom look happy?

They had to have a snow cone after all that jumping in the bouncy.
