Halloween 2008

Halloween around here is a big deal. After a long time deciding, Emily picked Super Girl to dress up as and she INSISTED that Sam was to be a vampire and I, thanks to Jocelyn was a cat. Our Halloween started with the traditional Witches Festival. It was there that we picked out our pumpkins and really dove into the Halloween spirit.

Emily found a great hat but was a bit unsure of that spider dangling off of it. So she decided to make her own.

And of course no witch is complete without a broom! We made one of those also but couldn't get a good picture. Next was a pony ride. Sam was NOT excited about actually touching the horse, he just wanted to look. But as always, Emily had no fear!

Sam and I walking next to the horse, he didn't want to touch it but didn't want to leave either No fear! Off to get the pumpkin's

And Sam found a rat, wouldn't touch the horse but the motion sensor rat was great! Just before Halloween this year we have the wonderful pleasure of getting a visit from Grandma Gretchen...We we all SO excited to have her come to see us, and boy did we keep her busy. We carved pumpkins with Grandma Jarvis, Grandma Gretchen, Danielle and Uncle Wayne and went trick or treating at my office, the baby sitter's and my mom's office and the neighborhood trunk of treat... the best part was Grandpa's home made Root Beer also know as witches brew and Wayne and Danielle brought us HUGE treat bags. It was great they got SO MUCH Candy.
