Halloween '09

Halloween is my favorite! We spent the morning at Tuachan. They had booths, kid activities and pumpkin launching. The pumpkin launching was so fun to watch. (My camera battery died so I couldn't take any pictures of it.) They would launch the pumpkins at the canyon walls then they would explode when they landed. This backdrop is from Thriller that is playing at Tuachan.
Dalton is a knight. We repurposed his tin man costume from last year. It still fit, so why not? A lady from The Spectrum asked to take his pictures while we were ar Tuachan. She didn't end up putting his picture in the paper, though. He was disapointed.

Alee has been a stinker about dressing up. She picked out a Cinderella costume, but she wouldn't even try it on (after we bought it). I caught her with it one day and she was cutting it up. She is obsessed with Cinderella right now, she watches it everyday. I was able to put her fairy wings on her to walk around Tuachan. She wouldn't wear anything to trick or treat in. Maybe she will be cinderella next year.
Preston's costume was so fun. I saw it in a magazine and asked him (well, begged him) if he would be it. I thought he would enjoy it. We got so many comments about it. The one I liked the most was, "He look, it's balloon boy, and he's really inside!" Some of the kids in his preschool asked if he was an elevator, or an ice cream man. They couldn't tell that he was a hot air balloon.
