Halloween 2012

This was our Halloween this year.  I decorated pretty much the day of. But it all turned out well.  Instead of pumpkin Jack-o- lanterns, we painted some milk jugs, and drew faces onto them.  I also bought a blacklight for my porch light.  The affect was very nice.  I can't  forget our fun dummy we made out of random clothes, and stuffed with plastic grocery bags.  It was fun.  I think it was our best decoration yet.  A favorite by far for the whole family. Can you all guess what everyone is dressed as?

Maren - Katniss, Brenna- fairy princess, Corby- a bat, and Conner- a Cat. 

We made the bow and arrows.  It was fun. :)

Our Dummy. What do you think.  It definitely gave us more ideas for next Halloween.

The rest of the decorations.  The spiderwebs shined nice and eerily in the black light.  Awesome affect.  The candy didn't last too long.  I made sure to put it out in small increments.  You know how greedy some trick or treaters can be. 

We went to the church for a church Fall Festival.  I decorated a door to pass out candy. We also had a chili cook off, I made taco soup, the kids played at all the fun carnival like games, and won treats.  

Maren found another  Katniss.  They were known as "Big Katniss and Small Katniss."

Just before the kids went trick or treating, they had them all get together for a large group picture.  So many fun Costumes.  

The pictures weren't too great, but here is a small taste of my fun decorations at home. 

After the Church party we just went down our street trick or treating.  We ended up  all satisfied with our fun decorations, exciting costumes, full trick or treat bags, and tired from all our little adventures.
