A Month of Halloween

Whew! What a month!? I have waited so long to blog about all of our Halloween events, that I hope I can keep them in the right order. Oh yeah! And you may notice that the kids are wearing different costumes. Well, we had several to choose from because of all of our dress-up clothes, so we had a little character identity disorder this year.

First, we went with some friends to Country Pumpkins pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkin and play.
(All of these pictures are courtesy of my friends on Facebook because I did not bring my camera with me. Thanks for the back-up. You may also notice their superior picture taking ability and cameras! We need a new camera so bad.)






Then, there was Pumpkin-palooza in downtown Starkville.
Look at that awesome transformer and cute pirate.




We made caramel apples...with this yummy real caramel recipe!


Next, we went to a Halloween Egg Hunt at the Sportsplex.
Costumes change number 1!

This event lasted all of 30 seconds, but the kids were pretty pumped to find some orange and black eggs.


(I think that I am missing the Trick or Read event at Will's school, but I don't have any pictures from that one...Oh well, imagine two cute kids dressed up doing Halloween things. Okay good, you got the idea!)

Then, there was trick or treat on Sorority Row and the MSU Halloween Carnival.


Will really got into the games this year.


Andrew couldn't stop giggling at the girls running the games long enough to really participate. Lord, help me!



Another tradition...pumpkin carving!!

Will was an intense scraper(of course).


Our creepy, I mean well carved, batty cat!


Lastly, on actual Halloween night, we went to Trunk or Treat at St. Joe's. I am always so impressed with the effort that the college students put into decorating their cars and making this such fun.
This was my favorite...Mario and Luigi had a race-track drawn on the pavement and steering wheels with cardboard cars for racing. So creative!

Costume No. 3 for Will-man.

And look at our cute little friends, Joan and Charlotte, aka Dorothy and the pink monster.

Afterwards, we came home and everyone helped hand out candy. We ran out of our HUGE lot of candy at 8 on the dot and Halloween was officially over for the Wha-key house!
And it officially took me 2 hours to create this blog post! Wow, that's a whole lot of Halloween celebrating!
