Halloween 2011

Once again we had a fun Halloween this year.  We carved pumpkins Sunday morning before church in a little bit of a rush, but they turned out to the kids satisfaction.  Please excuse the grubby children…this is us in our natural state!

Svea chose (surprise, surprise) a Hello Kitty pumpkin pattern

And since Soren’s latest mantra is, “I’m not afraid of ANYthing” he chose the scary skeleton face grim reaper pumpkin

We went to a preschool Halloween party that was lots of fun for the kids.  Svea won the best child costume by popular vote.  She was Hello Kitty this year with an ADORABLE Japanese yukata my mom found for me in Tokyo.

Soren had a hard time coming up with an idea for his costume this year but with four weeks left until Halloween he settled on a lamp.  He had a very specific vision for his lamp costume and I think in the end we got it.

The kids went out trick or treating and visited about 20 houses.  At that point they were both tired and their buckets were so full of candy they couldn’t carry them anymore.  We got home and the kids helped pass out treats, ate as much candy as they wanted, ran around with the sugar crazies, and then passed out right at bedtime.  Couldn’t get any better!
