Halloween 2011

We had a VERY low key Halloween this year, but fun none the less.

Claire dressed up as a Watermelon this year and she looked adorable. I seriously couldn't stop laughing the whole time she had it on. The hat and tights just completed the costume. I was worried she would hate the hat, but she loved it!

She played around the house in it all day in preparation for the evening!

For some reason whenever me and Claire take pictures together she always turns and looks at me like I'm crazy. Like... "For reals mom??" So funny!

We didn't go out trick-or-treating but Claire answered the door in her costume all night long! She loved seeing all the kids and their fun costumes. Every time the door bell would ring Claire would crawl as fast as possible and be the first at the door!

Once the trick-or-treating had finally died down, we finished off the night with a family Halloween movie and snuggle time with Dad. This started out as a fort, but Claire wasn't a fan. Perhaps she gets claustrophobic easily like her mom! HaHa

Happy Halloween!

Carving Time

After we had carefully selected our pumpkins at the patch, we needed to carve them up! I thought Claire would love it more, but sadly, she really didn't.

They had sat for a couple of days after we got them so the insides weren't near as gooey and fun as usual, but oh well! She lasted through the cleaning out of the pumpkin and then she was done, entrusting her Dad and I to carve something fantastic for her!

Jacob carved the scary haunted house, I did the witch and for Claire we did the classic pumpkin face! Maybe next year Claire will be a bit more enthused about pumpkin carving, until then, Jacob and I will have to enjoy it alone! :)
