Trick or Treat 2009

Elijah dressed up in his pirate costume from last year.

And Remy used one of Elijah's old costumes from long ago. He dressed up as a Ninja Mynci from http://www.neopets.com/.

They are counting loot as I type!

Now we gear up for an 11th Birthday!

A SPoooooKY Halloween Meal!

My little boys are eating as I type! It turned out so cute that I HAD to share!

I tinted the white potatoes green for grass and then I added my oven fried "tombstones" which are really tofu-nuggets with some ketchup for dipping.

The pumpkins are mashed sweet potato with sugar, cinnamin, and butter. Put a little almond sliver for the stem and some parsley for a leaf.

The ghosts are just white mashed potatoe with a little white cheese, butter, and salt. We used icing bags to pipe it all into the designs we wanted. peppercorns are the eyes.

The mac and cheese is spooky too, it is in halloween shapes, thanks to kraft.

It is just so cute...and yummy...too!

Pumpkin Carving

My boys are so big this year! They can do so much by themselves, Wahhhhh!

They each picked out a stencil online for their pumpkin's fate.

Elijah picked this goofy one. And Remy picked Sonic as his design.

Remy helped his daddy get the stencil ready for the pumpkin.

And the boys cleaned out the goop. Remy loved it and took over an hour, he had to do it all, and he had to get every bit out! Elijah was FINE to allow his father to do it.

My sweet messy boy!

Cutting!

Elijah did all of his. Remy needed help from daddy because his was so much harder.

Elijah's silly pumpkin.

I made them homemade funnel cakes. Remy was in heaven! You can get it on Rachel Ray's website. They boys now want me to make them every year when they carve pumpkins.

Elijah came up with a little side project. He made the pumpkin seeds into ghosts.

My little actor.

They had so much fun this year. :)

Trick or Treat!

I finally have the photos up and ready to share! :)

I only had to sew up one costume this year. Remy's we purchased and Eli's I worked my booty off for. It was like sewing 3 or 4 costumes in one! Whew! I cried one time because I was so DONE with sewing it. *laugh*

Remy made a terrific Indiana Jones and Elijah wore that homemade pirate costume and took my breath away! He was so darn handsome! They both were! What mother would love a cutie pirate and a daring Indiana Jones?

And now for the HAM, *cough*, Indiana Jones! He is the real thing you guys! Hee hee!

Miss Taylor came to trick or treat with us! :) Eli the dashing pirate had his bonny lass!

Yay for candy!

And we can't wait for next year!
