Halloween Hijinks

We certainly love to celebrate Halloween. We listen to Halloween music, Jason and the kids watch scary movies and Jason took Ethan to a couple of haunted houses this month. Jason and I picked our pumpkins at a farm by our house (the kids weren't interested in having tons of fun).
On Saturday we had our annual Halloween dinner of Pasta e Fagioli soup, breadsticks with alfredo dipping sauce, bubbling apple cider in the witches' cauldron and pumpkin-shaped sugar cookies.

This is a game I created called "Punch-a-Prize". You have to punch through a tin foil covered bowl to collect your prize. Everyone loved it!

On Sunday we went to a spookily decorated house in Portland called Davis Graveyard.
We also went to one of our favorite places, The Waffle Window. In the fall they have the pumpkin pie waffle. It's so good.
On Halloween, Ethan went trick-or-treating with his friends. We decided this would be his last year, so he wanted to go out with a bang with his "Vantucky Redneck" costume.

He had a very realistic voice to go along with it


Caleb just wore a Scream mask. After 5 minutes it was too hot and he had to tell people he was Justin Bieber and flip his hair to the side.

Now that Halloween is over we are looking forward to Thanksgiving!
