Haloween

Our yearly tradition is cutting out pumpkins. This is one of the first
traditions Gabe and I started after we got married. We kinda like it. :)
Well we didn't get to it this year until Halloween morning. It was a busy day.
The girls had fun, as always.

Here is Isabel showing a piece of her inside pumpkin guts. We
got cool scrapers this year and it made the job so much easier.

I'm not sure why she has such a funny face. Livi did her whole pumpkin
from start to finish, even the cutting part. Her's is the alien.Sofia's cat cut out by daddy.

Olivia's alien.

Here they are in all their glory. Isabel did the girl vampire.
Mine is a scarecrow. Gabe did the skull with flames.

These are a craft that Livi and Isabel did for school.
We thought they turned out really cool. They also made skeletons
out of Q-Tips. Very fun stuff.

Now for costums. Isabel is a woodland fairy.

Olivia is a ninja.

Sofia is a cute fairy who did her own face make up.

This is Lorenzo (cousin) who is a purple octupuse. Grandma Olivia
made the costume from scratch, it was so cute.

All the kids right before trick-or-treating.

And since I NEVER dress up, I don't know why I did this year,
here is the picture for proof. I was the bride of frankenstien. That
makes Gabe Frankenstien. Ha Ha. You can't really see it but I even
wore fake eye lashes. The girls thought it was pretty great. Now I
remember why I did it, the costume was on sale and the girls begged me.
