Superman and Wonder Woman's Halloween

Happy Halloween!
from Superman & Wonder Woman


We've been celebrating Halloween for the past couple of days here at our house. It all started on Wednesday afternoon when we went to a Halloween party at Caroline and Roy Austin's house. All of our good friends were there all decked out in their costumes. The kids enjoyed playing games, decorating pumpkins, riding on all of the toys and eating a lot of candy and sweets! Caleb is REALLY into Superman this year and it has been so much fun watching him be into character. He loved all of the attention he got at the party and he showed them all of his Superman moves. Of course, you can't have Superman without Wonderwoman!

Here is Superman and Wonder Woman with their pumkins that they decorated. They were so proud of them. Kathryn pushed hers around in a baby stroller most of the time!

Here is sweet Little Bo Peep and her little sheep with their mom - they hosted the party.

I don't have many good pictures of all the kids at the party but I had to include this one. Here are Eli and Luke, the purple 3 eyed monster and the green 2 eyed monster. Their mom made thier costumes! They were so cute!



After the party we went home to get Russ and then headed over to Nana and Papa's house to celebrate with them (I can't believe I didn't take any pictures with them!) We ate a good dinner and then of course the kids got more treats! Then we headed over to the Curtis' house to trick or treat. This is a tradition each year and the kids love it. They were full of themselves and sugar by the end of the evening!

On Friday night, we carved the pumpkin to get ready for Halloween. Caleb gets to choose what Russ carves the pumpkin as each year, so of course it HAD to be the Superman symbol. Russ is very artistic, so he seems to always figure out how to make it perfect! Caleb loved getting all of the goo out of the pumpkin. Kathryn wouldn't even touch it :) They both loved the pumpkin seeds we baked later though!

Here it is making it's debut on our front porch. Kathryn insisted that the pumpkin have a cape too!

Saturday evening turned out to be pretty yucky at times. When we first started trick-or-treating it started to rain. We had to take a 30 minute break inside and Caleb was praying that the rain would go away. Thankfully it did cleared up for about an hour or so. The neighborhood filled with kids and Caleb and Kathryn had a blast getting even more candy and seeing all the other costumes!

Even our sweet Tuxedo dressed up for the occasion. Thanks to my friend Donna who found this Superman costume for dogs and got it for Tux :) He looked so cute!

That first picture of the kids cracked me up! They're hand are on their hips:) I loved the Superman theme this year and Russ did a great job on that pumpkin. The red cape on it makes me laugh!!!
