Halloween: Carving, Costumes, and Candy


Our Halloween Decor


































 See how far behind I am.  But here're some pictures from our Halloween festivities:

Carving:

 Costumes:
My Trick or Treat earrings - Fun Stuff!
  Now here's the really fun stuff!
Elise was Lightning Cat!  She made this up and came up with the costume.  Nate made it so her lightning bolts would light up.  She had the glow-in-the-dark bracelets and a necklace but these caused a problem on the drive to where we were trick-or-treating; she accidentally cracked one of her glow-in-the-dark bracelets all over herself, including in her eyes. Thanks to the quick thinking of my friend, Svenja, she was able to flush the fluid out of her eyes with a bike style water bottle.  But the whole ordeal was pretty freaky at the time!

Max was Megaman!  Nate and he worked on his costume together.  His helmet is a combination of a baseball helmet with the rim cut off, a sanding block painted blue, jar rims with red fabric in them, and a whole bunch of blue duct tape.  We dyed his white long johns light blue and his boots are plastic canvas and duct tape.  (I ruined his first pair of shorts - but luckily we had these boxers - shhhh! Yes, they're boxers). 
Here are the three of us.  Nate is taking the picture, but it's not his favorite thing to dress up for Halloween. 

Candy:
And the kids exchanging their candy for others with their friends, Maya and Ben.
