Halloween 2009

Once again, I don't have many pictures of this wonderful day.
It started with wearing our costumes to school,

where they had a parade and parties in the classroom.

Little Kat was a witch.

Here are the girls, getting ready to canvas the neighborhood. Sarah is a Skelanimal. Kaiden is a princess and Kate and Ella are witches.

It was a bit chilly this year, so we had to bundle up under our costumes. Here are Ella, Kate and Lindy having some snacks and getting warm after trick-or-treating.

Today is Hat Day.

Kate opted for the furry pink, diva style.

Sarah chose a zebra sequined one.

Ackerman Farms 2009

Today we took a quick trip to Ackerman Farms to get some pumpkins for our Hallween theme in the front yard. It was intended to be a fast trip so we could keep decorating - no hayrides, no corn maze, no tour from Farmer John.

Of course we all know about intentions . . .

Our plans changed when we saw the face painter. Holy Cow! If I still had my Supermom Cape it would be taken away yet again. This lady was fantastic! She makes my face painting look like a two year old did it. So we got waylayed, Superdad was patient with us; I think after 18 years he knows how I am about face painting (and balloons.) I'm not alone on this right? Doesn't everyone like face paint and balloons?? Maybe I'm just a kid at heart, but here are three little beads of Supermom wisdom for you:

1. Balloons make everything more fun. Even if mom or dad carries it for you.
2. Face paint and fake tattoos are like balloons. Fun! Get them, enjoy them and get rid of them before bed.
3. It's fun to wear costumes (Superdad and I are going to be Nick Jonas and Hannah Montana for Halloween this year.)

Happy Fall!
