Halloween

The good Witch of the Northwest, Captain Rex from Star Wars and Master Yoda in front of our neighbor's house. Joshua got a little spooked and distracted by the scary people in the yard and then ran as fast as he could after getting his candy.



Pumpkin Pizza from our favorite take and bake store.

I think these two characters killed each other about 750 times. Chopped off limbs, shot in the eye, jumping through the air and shooting space ships.............

I bought Jonathan's Captain Rex costume last year at a 75% discount from Walmart and thought I had the right size for a 6 year old. I guess the Chinese have a different standard for 6 year olds because Jonathan's costume was tight and short when he put it on. He insisted on not wearing some shorts underneath so you can probably guess how he looked. Sexy Captain Rexy! If you look close enough you can see his smashed nose as well from his awesome mask.

Mater Yoda wouldn't wear his hat so he looks more like a young Padowan with his light saber.

Our witch was super cool and played it like a teenager. This is boring, this is dumb, That is not scary, I wanna go home and e-mail my friends......

Kill you I will. The force is strong with me. Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.

Our front yard Saguaro with candy corn lights.

The witch with her brew of sugar. Hmmmm let's see which ones can Dad borrow/steal? Any butterfingers in there or kitkats?

Tia planned out her pumpkin carving by searching the Internet for ideas. Charlie brown and Snoopy made the top of her list.

Out in the back yard to make the mess, drink hot chocolate and have a fire in the chiminaya.

JT working on his masterpiece. A drawing of a pumpkin shot by an arrow on his pumpkin. I asked if he wanted to do a traditional pumpkin with some vampire teeth with a triangle nose and he just laughed.

Master carvers.

I dare you to snatch the seeds from my hand.

Joshua was more interested in the swing at night than the pumpkin carving.

My little buddy is growing up too fast. His is still mama's little boy. Where's Mom?
Where's Mom? I need Mom.

Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde did most of the carving and scraping of the seeds this year. I was impressed with their enthusiasm and artistic pumpkins.
