We had a fun time celebrating Halloween this year. Adam and Isaac carved pumpkins a few days before. I was the pumpkin de-gutter! (I have never been very good at pumpkin carving). Adam is really creative, so Isaac and him did a great job! Ivy was fast asleep for this project - maybe she can get involved next year!
I have always loved the movie "The Wizard of Oz", as wierd as it is, so I wanted the four of us to dress up as characters from the movie. Neither one of my boys (Isaac or Adam) would go for this.
Isaac is a huge fan of Superheros, so of course he wanted to dress up as the popular Iron Man. (We thought that his costume looked a bit like an outfit that might be worn on Blades of Glory, but he thought that he looked really tough!).
Ivy doesn't have much of a say at this age as to what she dresses up as , so I couldn't resist dressing her up as Dorothy, and she looked absolutely adorable!
The day before Halloween we went to the school parade - Ivy loved watching her big brother come through. She really liked the scary costumes - they made her laugh.
On Halloween night we did the regular Trick or Treating, and then ate chili and breadsticks at our house. Grandma Barton made some delicious popcorn balls too! What a fun holiday!
