Halloween Fun 2012

After much procrastination, we finally committed to the kids being Angry Birds for Halloween.  Troy did a great job with the costumes!  Erin made Poppy's tutu to make her our "Tutu Pig."
On Friday, we headed to Trunk or Treat at the church.
 It was in the gym this year because of the weather.  Poppy enjoyed her snack on the floor.
 Reef and Jonas loved their cupcakes from the Cupcake Walk.

On Halloween morning, I surprised the kids with a Halloween-themed breakfast.  I found the idea on Pinterest and, for once, already had all the ingredients!  They loved their bat poop (cocoa puffs), frog's eyes (Trix), and ghost blood (milk).  The funniest part of the morning was Reef's pronunciatin of "blood"; he read it as rhyming with "food" instead of rhyming with "mud."
 I hosted the annual Halloween playgroup at our house.  Looking at these pictures, I'm always amazed at how far we've come since Reef's first Halloween!
This is our first year where someone wasn't screaming.  Notice, however, that Jonas wasn't in a picture-taking mood.
 Reef and Liam didn't know what his deal was.
 Poppy was thrilled to have her fellow pig, Eli, in her lap! She is still pretty obsessed!
 We enjoyed some "worm" apple pie.
 For snack that afternoon, the boys loved their Frankenstein pudding.
 A rare cooperative smile before heading out to trick or treat.
 This girl was all about the trick or treating.  It only took one house for her to understand the game.  She would NOT let go of her bucket either, fiercely protective of her candy.
 The whole crew before heading out.  4 Angry Birds, 1 Pig, Bam Bam (his face is so funny!), and 2 ninjas.  We were also joined by Larkin on our trip around the block.  The kids loved having him, especially as the official bag-weigher!
 
All in all, a great Halloween!
