Halloween Weekend

Well, it came. It went. And left us a truckload of candy I wish wasn't in my house right now. It was fun and here are some highlights:

The annual Hillam Halloween party was at the Crocketts this year and I must say I was thoroughly impressed by all the creative costumes the fam pulled off, wouldn't you have to agree?









I got this eyeball doughnut hole idea out of a Family Fun magazine this year. They looked a lot easier than they turned out to be, so we had to capture a picture to remember the frustration that went behind making them!


Grandma and Grandpa read some fun Halloween books to the kids, we made mummies, made bracelets, played pin the nose on the pumpkin and did a pinata. We had lots of yummy food and I'd say we all left happy and very full.




As usual, the kids had fun helping scrape out the pumpkins, prepping them for carving. Even though we do this every year, they all still get so totally grossed out at the feeling of goo that they have to scoop out. Colby refused to participate and frequently would run away saying, "It's biscussing!"





Every year Todd unleashes his creative abilities on our pumpkins for Halloween. I think he really enjoys it. He asks each of the kids what they want on the front and then carves it for them. He's getting better at it because this year he did them so quickly! Good job honey--they turned out great!
