Halloween Pictures

Here is our assortment of Halloween pictures. Enjoy!

This is the pumpkin that Benjamin painted at school. If you notice the tooth sticker on his shirt, this is also the day that he went to the dentist for the first time and he did really well!

Another pose with the pumpkin.

Jacob checks out the pumpkin.

Up close so you can see the art work on the pumpkin.

Evan tried on his SuperWhy costume.
We did pumpkin painting for Family Home Evening one night. Here is Jacob with his.
Evan really enjoyed this activity.
Benjamin is a pro!
The finished results of our painting on display! I painted the 4th one since Matthew just really can't do it yet.

These pictures are from 3 different Halloween events. The first are from Benjamin's Halloween Costume Parade at school, the second from Halloween night and the third from the church Halloween party. They had a lot of fun! Benjamin in costume getting ready for the Costume Parade.

They did a family dance at the end of the parade festivities and this is Benjamin and Evan dancing to the YMCA.

Jacob's First Haircut

I finally gave Jacob his first haircut last week. Usually I leave this to a professional the first time, but it had to be done and I hadn't found any one. I think it didn't turn out too bad and he kept most of his curls:)

I'm not too sure about this mom!

OK maybe this will be alright.

If I suck my thumb, I will feel better about all of this.

Handsome little man!
