Halloween 2014

So, before the time really is up to post about Halloween, I realized I better get with the program and post :) . . . Thankfully, since I was absolutely horrific at taking pictures on Halloween (did not take a single one), I was able to outsource and grab a few from other people! Thank you, Nanny and Mary!!

We prepped for Halloween at Mike and Emily's home the week before, which was quite fun!

Kateri was ready to roll up her sleeves and get in on all the pumpkin guts and seeds . . .

She took her job very seriously. Nanny was very generous and let K-bear help her the entire time!

We all had a great time!

Can't you just eat her up?! She is so cute!

Eventually the pumpkins were all carved!

And Nanny and K-bear with their pumpkin:

Notice the hammer in Mike's pumpkin

My pumpkin was a bit on the evil side this year:

BUT he is still smiling

Pat put all the goodness in his pumpkin:

On Halloween, Kateri was extra lucky and got to dress up twice! She dressed up as a frog when she went to visit Nonie and Nano (sadly I have no pictures!), and she dressed up as Godzilla for Halloween. Pat always calls her 'godzilla' because of her propensity to destroy whatever is in her path, so a common phrase heard around our house is, "Godzilla is on the loose!". Which means, LOOK OUT!

Sebastian is godzilla2 because we know he will be following her lead in just a few short months.

Before it got dark, we were lucky enough to go trick or treat at aunt Betty and uncle Bill's house, mom and dad's, and Nanny and Mac's.

Seeing this picture makes me think I should have had Sebastian go as Puddleglum. Those feet would fit the part, don't you think? But then I suppose we would have to chop off his tail . . .

Jeanne decided to come with us, which was super fun! She came up with this neat makeup in seconds:

Mary and Stephen and little Maddie came over as well. Maddie was the cutest little pirate you have ever seen! After a quick dinner, we headed out for trick-or-treating. Jeanne was very popular with both Kateri and Maddie, and neither of them would have ANYTHING to do with anyone else! So for much of the time, Jeanne was corralling two very cute little one year olds (which would probably make herding cats look easy!). I still cannot believe that Jeanne opted to come join us for Halloween, but I know two little girls were over-the-moon that she did!

And thanks to Mary, I do have a picture of the group!

Happy Halloween!!
