For the past week I have had this totally self-imposed rule hanging over my head. I'm pretty sure that Halloween pictures can't be posted after Thanksgiving, even though I completely made that up. I think it's a good thing I have these false deadlines, though, otherwise I might never post on my blog. (Poor grandparents!)
So, by the skin of my teeth I present: Halloween 2013. (Phew! I made it!)
Carving Pumpkins
The pumpkin gutting was attended by much more willing participants this year.
This will turn into a delicious toasted snack later on. Yum!
Benj carving his self-designed pumpkin with precision
Benj & Talia both designed their own pumpkins this year. I was impressed with their creativity!
Leila loves flowers so she and I worked together to create her design.
Church Fall Festival
As I mentioned in my last post, Star Wars' newest fans live at our house. Benj's latest interest never fails to infect his sisters so when Benj announced that he was going to be a Jedi (he ended up changing his mind, as you will see), Talia decided to be Padme, Leila wanted to be Princess Leia, and of course we had to make Channah an Ewok.
Ewok Channah (yes, Ewok...despite the monkey costume and the banana)
Princess Lei(l)a
Padme (very specifically NOT Queen Amidala)

Sweet Siblings
"Somebody" does NOT like posing for pictures these days
We did go trick-or-treating Halloween night (sort of), but with the pouring down rain, four kids to dress in costumes, and various items to transport to our friends' house for dinner and trick-or-treating, I forgot the camera. :( Since it was pouring, cold, and windy we ended up going to a local church where the kids went from booth to booth in their gymnasium.
