Spooky Halloween

Like most kids, the brats look forward to Halloween. Kaden especially enjoys this holiday and is usually talking about how he wants to dress-up long before the Wench even thinks of mentioning it (probably around June—ha!). Mary Jane is most interested in carving pumpkins and Eliza is just excited to be a part of the excitement. They all love the candy!

The brats carve pumpkins. Eliza's is on the left, Kaden's in the middle, and MJ's on the right (she was going for a hill-billy pumpkin with blacked out teeth).

Memaw sent Eliza this outfit for her birthday, so Eliza went as the "Pumpkin Princess" (yep, the Wench made that up to save a buck!).

Kaden the Blood Orc (yes, World of Warcraft inspired).

For weeks Mary Jane insisted that she didn't want to dress up this year. This is what the Wench put together after a tearful confession from MJ who had decided dressing up might be fun after all. Pretty good for a last minute costume, eh?

The trick-or-treaters are all smiles.

All dressed up and being silly.

Papa waiting for visitors. Scary!

With Papa.

With Granny.

A dear friend invited us to her church for some trunk-or-treating. So, after hitting up our neighborhood for Halloween candy, the brats and I headed over to Pleasant Hill Baptist Church for some more! The Wench doesn't exactly know what happened to those pictures but the brats had fun.
