Halloween!!!!

Doesn't she make a cute butterfly? Unfortunately due to the hot weather, she refused to wear the bottoms to go with it. She shed her wings about 10 minutes into trick or treating because she was melting right along with the chocolate treats in her bag. Who bought a Halloween costume in SLC prior to moving to AZ? Oh wait, that was her mother. :-)The witch and the butterfly.

Peyton decided to be a pirate witch after she got the eye patch at her school party. There was no talking her out of it, but I have to say she was the only pirate witch I've ever seen.

Peyton the pirate. Notice the flip flops and shorts. Yes, it was Halloween.....

Sydnie's pumpkin is on the left, Peyton's is on the right.

Carving pumpkins is serious business at our house. This year we (Jeff) pulled out the power tools. In the end, he went back to the old fashioned way of using a knife, but it was fun to watch while it lasted.

Pumpkin guts are just too much for Peyton. Every year she tries to be brave and every year I end up taking the guts out of all of the pumpkins myself. I wish the picture had sound effects to go with it.

All of that for one little seed........

Sydnie wasn't even going to touch the guts. She looked, but that was as far as she went.

These were the scary spiderwebs from Grandma Judy's Halloween package. Peyton strung them all over her room.

Making pumpkin cookies for Halloween. Yummy!!! I had two great little helpers. They love to help in the kitchen.
