Halloween was such a "Fright" :)

Halloween this year went by so fast, but we did get in some fun times.  The girls were so excited all month and had a blast decorating, playing at the pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins and trick or treating.

It is never too soon to put away these cute little chickens, after hearing the chicken dance song for the 100th time.  They were definitly Emma's favorite this year.

This is my little witch tribute.  I made the hat, broom, and shoes.  My cute sister-in-law BryAnne drew and colored the picture.

Makayla went to the pumpkin patch for a field trip with her class.  Of course she can't knowingly have a picture taken without posing!!

We went to the pumpking patch as a family a couple days later.  Pour little Emma had the croup here - although we didn't know it yet.

Little James was so cute sitting in the corn stalks -- as always he loved being outside.

Our good friends the Griffiths joined us at the pumpkin patch.  This is Makayla and Macey on the hay ride.

It doesn't look like they were excited at all ;)

James thought this business with the pumpkins was just great

Richard spent tons of time on his pumpkin . . .

It was well worth it -- that's my artist!!

Makayla loved every minute of it

Her pumpkin turned out really cute too.

Emma wouldn't even touch a pumpkin and definitly wouldn't let me take her picture that night, but she was more than happy to pose in her costume.

Makayla wanted to be a princess; no a fairy; no a witch; no a cowgirl??  She finally decided on a "Pink Princess Fairy".  She even had to have her hair painted pink.

James was our little stinker this year -- wait isn't he that everyday :)  This costume was so cute on Emma last year that we just had to recycle it for James!!

This is after Trick-or-Treating.  Can't you just see him saying "Okay, I've been cute long enough, now get me out of this thing"?

Overall the holiday was a whirlwind of activity and we had a blast all along the way.
