Halloween 2009

I was trying to teach Kiya how to say "trick-or-treat" but as long as she held the bag people just threw candy at her. I always try to find a bit of a "theme" for my kids if I can, because I'm that cool. I thought of doing all M&M's or crayons or something like that but Trevin is only so willing to "theme" it these days if it doesn't go with exactly what is hip in 10 year olds world...
So I found THIS costum for Kiya...that I love....

Then I decided Garrin would have to be this...since he was going to fight me no matter what costum I put him in....

Trevin was a Ninja and Jessi was our little devil. The kids made a haul and had a great time!

Halloween Cookies

My mom makes the bestest sugar cookies so we break them out whenever a holiday rolls around. She also have every type of cookie cutter so it's really fun for the kids to cut and frost all the fun shapes. Kiya was there to help pick out the best shapes for halloween...
she might have found the flour as well...

and grandma got into the fun too....

good times.....

This was at Trevin's school Halloween Parade so all the kids could show off thier costumes. Trevin ran through so fast I didn't get a chance to snap a pic of him but this shirt on Garrin was so cute I couldn't resist...

Carving Pumpkins

We let the kids carve this year. Trevin did this cute guy, we had a small one that we cared "BOO" into for Garrin and I did the one that looks like it has stitches. Our neice Jessi also carved one. It was a fun night!

Double Digits

Trevin had a low-key birthday. Amidst the move we just didn't have the time or inclination to do much more, but he got what he wanted. Some cash some games and brownies. All that you need to be a happy ten year old.

love the boy.
