Halloween pictures in no particular order

Start with the end of the night when the kids got home and looked at all of their candy. I have great memories of doing the exact same thing. My dad used to take a "tax", a certain amount of candy, for taking us out that night. Now, Rebecca and I sneak some when the kids are in bed. They will never miss it.








Jonah was a mummy for Halloween which took a long time to put together. There are more pictures farther down of how Rebecca had to put this together.










Before we went trick or treating, we went to visit the my grandmother or the kids' great grandmother, known as "GG". She is 94 years old and she lives in an assisted living facility. She loved seeing the kids and handing out the candy.









Jacob was Harry Potter, Jonah was a mummy, and Noah was superman on Halloween and a mummy at school the day before during their party. The costumes were fun to put together but took a lot of patients on the part of Rebecca and the kids.








Here is Jonah on Friday morning and they are rushing to get it done with the hot glue fun before school started. Jonah was a little nervous at first with the hot glue gun, but the only one who got burned was Rebecca.









I had to take Jacob to school and come back for Jonah because his costume wasn't done. He was about 20 minutes late for school which never happens. He didn't like that at all. He was a mummy of nerves until he got to school.









Here is the finished product. Not too bad. At the end of the day he said he had to roll in the dirt to make the bandages look older like a mummy. He just wanted to roll in the dirt.

















Rebecca did Noah's the day before when he was celebrating Halloween for his class.













The week of Halloween, Jacob had a Halloween Choir concert on top of everything else. They all dressed up in their costumes and did a musical kind of thing. They had a good time and it was fun to watch.









Jacob as Harry Potter. We forgot to put the scar on Jacob's head so one of the staff put it on for Jacob once he got to school. We couldn't forget the scar. They all had a great day.

Wow the kids look fantastic! I love the mummy costume. David and Lyric where just talking about mummies the other night before bed. I don't think Jacob could have picked a better costume. Perfect Harry Potter!!!

By the way thanks a bunch for the cds!!!! We appreciate it.
