A Pirate Halloween

We carved pumpkins before Josh and Aiden headed to bed one evening. Here they are proudly showing off the pumpkins they helped daddy carve. (Josh's is Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas) We had a fun time carving pumpkins together.

After Josh and Aiden went to bed Brandon and I carved our pumpkins. Then we put candles in them for a spooky picture.

We had a costume "trying on" party a few weeks before Halloween.

And then again the Friday before Halloween to go trick or treating at Brandon's work. His building decorated with the pirate theme so our family fit in really nicely.

My mom and I took a few pictures before heading out to go trick or treating around the neighborhood (compare these pictures to the actual trick or treating picture....we had to modify costumes a bit for the weather!).

It was so cold and windy that I put Josh and Aiden's fleece pants and jackets underneath their costumes before going outside to trick or treat. Brandon was really good and took them to every door while I sat in the warm car. They had a lot of fun even though it was FREEZING outside. Happy Halloween!!
