Painting pumpkins is always the easier, less messy option. Even if it does look like plastic. Except when the bottom of the pumpkin rots out two days later. A few of us carved, but they collapsed even faster from the rot. I say we got gipped this year! I guess I got what I paid for:)
I have warmed up to the whole Halloween song and dance... I even made a cute little 'boo' Halloween craft which I didn't take a picture of. But I think what I don't like about it is that Halloween isn't just ONE EVENT like say... Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter. The crazy doesn't just happen for one night. To some, that's the beauty in it. For others like me....not so much. We have our church trunk-or-treat, friend parties, and then Halloween night. When you have six kids that need makeup and a 'do' each time there's a Halloween celebration, it becomes annoying. For the Mom, that is. The kids think it's the greatest concept ever.
This year was simple... we just used what we already had in our costume collection. I think Izzie really loves her inner-witch... this may be the 3rd year in a row she's wanted to express herself as the 'good witch.' Viviana is adorable no matter what she chooses... and Ms. Soc Hop fit this hand-me-down perfectly down to her darling glasses.
I don't even remember what Monson was... vampire who really likes dum dums?
McKenzie was the biggest BYU fan ever, and Brayden, well.... was himself. Curt got in on the fun as the biggest Steeler's fan, and I'm of course, always the photographer, a witch as well... complete with even a lovely Halloween shirt and hat.
