Halloween

This year Owen had a hard time deciding what to be for Halloween. For a long time he said he wanted to be a werewolf.  I thought that was a great idea and I planned for Lexie to be Little Red Riding Hood to go along with his costume.  As it got closer to Halloween, Owen changed his mind when he saw the wide variety of costumes at the store and chose to be Wolverine.  I hadn't started on Lexie's Little Red costume yet, so I decided to have her be a kitty cat instead. The kids had a great time at the ward party and Lexie got the hang of trick or treating pretty fast.

 

On Halloween we went trick or treating in Rossmoor with Gloria and McKennan and got LOTS of candy. We had a lot of fun!!

 

 

Pumpkin Patch

We had a great time on our visit to the pumpkin patch.  Owen really wanted to ride a horse and Lexie really wanted to ride the "choo choo" so that's what we did. :-)

 

Pumpkin Patch

Before Halloween, Owen's Pre-K class took a trip to the pumpkin patch and we made it a family affair!  I wish I'd dressed Lexie a little cuter because these are the only pumpkin patch pictures I got of her this year. Oh, well!  You can see that she is wearing red shoes. These are shoes that Rick found at a consignment store. They were okay, but kind of worn out. In the Halloween post, you can see how I painted these shoes green for her costume! That's why she is wearing green shoes with red soles in the pictures.  Anyway...

 

Holding hands. Melts my heart. Every. Time.

Even though Lexie is totally closing her eyes, I love how Owen is being so sweet with Charlie.

 

 I love how this one shows Owen's crazy energy and Lexie's calm, go-with-the-flow demeanor.

So sweet.

 

 

And here's our own little pumpkin.

 

 

Happy Halloween!

Our Iron Man and Pumpkin had a great time trick-or-treating!

Halloween Costumes

Owen says to me at 8:30 a.m. after just barely waking up:

"MOMMY!! I know what Lexie should be for Halloween!!! A little tiny hot dog!!"

Then he burst into laughter.

"That be silly, huh Mommy?"

At various times during the past week he has told me what Lexie should be for Halloween.

So far on the list we have

1.)cheesecake

2.) Pluto

3.)Batman

4.)little tiny hotdog

He has also come up with some brilliant ideas for himself.

While at my parent's house, he started looking intently at their fireplace.  Then he said, "Mommy, That guy climb on the roof? And come down the.....[chimney] and bring toys inside? His sleigh stay on the roof?"

Me: "Yes. Santa Claus does that."

Owen: "I want to wear a costume like Santa Claus and be Santa Claus for Halloween!!"

Owen's list of Halloween costumes include:

1.) Santa Claus

2.) Batman

3.) Darth Vader

4.) Hot Dog

5.) The Hulk

6.) Doctor

and my favorite,

6.) Daddy

We'll see if any of these costumes make the cut when Halloween rolls around.
