Halloween 2010

I know this is an old picture but it's still my favorite Halloween pic of the two kiddos. I think Whitney was Dorothy for like 3 yrs or more. Austin's costume of Batman came from a friend. He was so serious in this picture. He looked so cool.

This is my other favorite picture of Austin. Austin the Magician. Wasn't sure if I had shared this pic before. Found it in the wrong "album" so thought I'd share my findings. Isn't he little & oh so cute.

So here's how he dressed up last night for the trunk n treat. An injured student. He has a pencil sticking out of his eye. You'll only understand the sign if you have to deal with the "Make Your Day" program in school. It's supposed to be funny. I was proud of Austin for thinking of the idea on his own. Then he made the patch, got out the glue gun, painted the patch, attached the string. You know they are grown up when they can do it on their own from start to finish. We got a laugh out of it & hope you do too. He's just like his dad when it comes to Halloween.

Whitney was a kitten again & Mom a "rapper". At least that's what I tried to be. Whitney turned me into more of a gangster. Sorry no pictures. If we weren't always running late. well....we got in the car & left the camera on the table at home. As soon as it was over so were the costumes. We had a great time at the trunk n treat. Wonderful costumes. Lots of laughs & candy too.

So here is how we celebrated Halloween tonight. MaKey & Poppa bought us eyeball ice cubes. We put them in our sprite drinks. Once the ice melted the antics began. Whitney & I couldn't eat them but the boys did. Austin said they were "chewy". Gross!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you find this segment funny. Our dinner table was filled with laughter & lots of "oohhh gross". Here you'll see what I mean.

Which one is funnier? They both are.

Here is Whitney the beautiful Cyclops (sp?). This took a lot of tries as the eye was very cold & would slide down her forehead. Still funny though.

I should have used "distilled water" so it would have been clear. Didn't have any. Oh well.

The rest of our simple Halloween dinner consisted of mummies & our favorite Apple Snicker salad made with snickers from our goodie bags & Granny Smiths off of Poppa's tree here at the ranch. Simple, fun & like I said lots of laughs. Oh the mummy below has only one eye too because the mustard bottle opening was too large & Mom's a dork. Oh well it added to the laughter. You can see the eyeballs in the sprite but when frozen they floated upside down. what's with that?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE. We have sure enjoyed the pictures we've seen so far from the other cousins. They are so cute!!! Makes me wish (for just five seconds) that my kids were little again. Thank goodness for digital pictures.
