Halloween 2011- The Final Chapter

I had to post a final Halloween post because despite some screaming (me), kicking (Sawyer) and crying (Jason) we finally got Sawyer into his monkey costume. He was immediately content. Go figure.

Banana, check. Lollipop, check.

The only thing scarier then the huge monster in front of the house is the devil dog inside! Check out those glowing eyes.

Happy Halloween!

Here's a preview of King Finn. He seems to think the scepter is a combination wand/sword/bat. It grants wishes, turns people into other things and goes "bam" a lot.

Sawyer refused the multiple costume choices offered and instead channeled the terrible-twos. He is going as Senor Cranky Pants. No costume necessary.

Halloween Box 2011

Aunt Betty's box full of Halloween treats arrived last week. Oh boy, oh boy.

Finn sneaks a peek

Hey, what'd you get?

Aunt Betty was very sweet and sent two of everything. Thank you!

Serious business

No time to take off the plastic

Sawyer is ready to ship himself to Montana to visit Aunt Betty. Scout is glad to help out!

Halloween Box

We know for sure that Halloween has arrived when we receive a special box in the mail from Aunt Betty. Aunt Betty (J's Grandma's sister) fills a box to the brim with treats and toys for us. She's been doing this since long before our boys came along. I like anyone who shares Halloween treats with adults and kids alike.

This year when the box arrived Finn said, 'That's from MY Aunt Betty. She is sooooo sweeet!"

The boys are beyond excited with the pumpkin flashlights. Not to mention all of the candy.

Introducing Shark Finn and Dino Sawyer

Lock up your candy.

Trust me. That's a dinosaur costume. Although Finn said it

was a girl's dinosaur costume because girls wear purple. Sigh.

Finn has been telling everyone for weeks that he going

as a "friendly shark" for Halloween.

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch 2010

This year we decided to forego the Half Moon Bay traffic and try out a pumpkin farm closer to home. We visited the pumpkin patch at Spina Family Farms in South San Jose. They had a great selection of pumpkins, hay maze, hayride, train and also sorts of fun stuff for the kids. They also have a great farm stand and we enjoyed their fresh corn for dinner.
