Halloween 2015

On Thursday before Halloween, Meghan got to wear her costume to school. She was super excited to be a pink fairy.

Then Saturday afternoon we worked on Jack's Mt. St. Helen's costume. Here's the finished product.

Next it was time to carve the pumpkins. Sydney stood by me chowing down on pumpkin innards.

While I was busy carving the kids decorated the house.

Time to head out trick-or-treating with Princess Leia, Mt. St. Helen's, and the pink fairy.

We picked up Princess Jasmine along the way.

On our way back home.

Trying to catch Jack's glow-in-the-dark paint on camera.

Check out the sweet pumpkins.
