Life is Beautiful...: Halloween at the Wood's

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

As we prepare for Halloween night I thought I would blog about the family... We've had a pretty fun month! We started the month scouring stores for pirate costumes since that is what the boys will be going as this year! They will be celebrating Halloween with their cousin Maura who will also be going as a pirate! We found a great costume for Noah (pictures to follow), but had a hard time finding one for Gabriel... so I made it! HAHAHA! I really did make it! Don't laugh when you see the picture! After the costume situation was smoothed out we started decorating the house, visited the pumpkin patch, attended the neighborhood Halloween "party", watched the Great Pumpkin, and carved our pumpkins! Hope you enjoy the pictures of the boys...

Gabriel's homemade costume...ok minus the onesie... Gap gets credit for that!

Great Pumpkin

Noah watching the Great Pumpkin (funny how he never wanted to be in this car seat when it was his and now it is the perfect "movie" chair for him!)

Our neighborhood had a Halloween party which included a puppet show for the children...

At the party they gave out pumpkins... Gabe picked his... We told him whatever he picked he carried...

He wasn't giving it up!

Gabe was ready to cut!

Our boys!

Gabe can't wait to get his hands on this "stuff"....

We quickly found out that the boys aren't quite ready for carving pumpkins. We asked Noah to help us dig the "guts" out and he said "no". Gabe played with the guts...ate some and crawled away... Needless to say Daddy and Mommy finished the carving tonight... After the boys went to sleep.

Daddy finishing the carving...

We had 5 pumpkins... 2 are carved... LOL... Mommy and Daddy are tired...

How we decorated the counter. It turned out great as Noah LOVES candy corn! It has been a great bribe to get him to do things for Mommy!

The boys

We went to Bates Nut Farm which has a wonderful pumpkin patch, a corn maze, activities for the kids plus a bunch more! We went with our friends Leana, Bryan, & their family. Our boys absoulutely adore their kids so it works out great! Noah and Siah picking out pumpkins...

Our friends... Bryan, Leana, Siah, Malu, and Pucah (ok I may have spelled their names wrong, but I tried!) A wonderful family and their kids are AMAZING with our boys!
