Halloween fun

Well, on Tuesday, I tried to do a scan of my computer because my Internet explorer wasn't working well (it was freezing up all the time.) So, once the scan was done and the system restarted, it couldn't open up my windows. :(


So, I had to bring it in and $100+ dollars later, my baby is home again.


(It's crazy how much I use the computer during the day!)


Anyway, so I've got a bunch of pictures to share from our week.


On Tuesday, we carved pumpkins. (I set up the tripod and took some pictures with the timer so I could be in the pictures for a change.)



The before.











The during. (The kids help scoop out the seeds and draw the faces on the pumpkins and then I carve.)



Austin cut off the top of his own pumpkin.
(I was quite pleased with how responsible he was being.)



The afters: Jonahs' crocodile.



Sage's kitty.





The completed pumpkins including my queen and "Austin's" bat (he instructed me to draw and cut out a bat while he went outside to play.)



All lit up.


And here are our halloween costumes. The kids dressed up after lunch to go to school.




Austin was a mad scientist, Sage, a cowgirl and Jonah, a crocodile.
And for trick or treating after supper, Sage switched to a sunflower and I joined them, by dressing up as a pioneer.


Such a fun week (and tons of treats to boot!)
Thanks for looking!
