Halloween Weekend

Scooping pumpkin guts out of and back into the pumpkin was glorious entertainment for adults and children alike.


Henry and Dad hard at work drawing the face of the jack-o-lantern. The focus and concentration of a two year old and a tired, over-worked 31 year old cannot be matched.

The finished products! The prize certainly went to the Morby's for Mitch's spider web (no template required) and Amy's Darth Vader. (Darth Vader was so intricate, it wilted before the next day to an almost unrecognizable state, so picture not included).

Then, the unthinkable happened. My sweet little ever so opinionated Henry would not put on his dragon costume. Just as I had feared. And although I was able to squeeze my ever growing belly into a princess costume, the family ensemble was not complete as I had not pulled off Chris's knight costume. And with Chris leaving out of town Halloween night, I just knew Halloween was going to be a disaster. It was enough to bring this pregnant mother to tears.

That was when these two little darlings showed up on my doorstep, sewing machine in hand, to save Hyer Halloween 2010. Amy whipped out a knight costume in an hour while Mitch entertained Henry. To top it all off, Amy magically got Henry into his dragon costume without any tears or tantrums. Thank you Aunt Amy and Uncle Mitch, you guys are amazing!
Not even a little rain could stop us from heading down to the trunk or treat.

With all of this excitement, Chris still made it to the airport on time.
This marvelous weekend was topped off with a Halloween party at grandma and grandpa's house.




Fishing for spiders, pumpkin bowling and ghost making with four little boys made for an exciting evening. For a more complete viewing of the evenings events see Amy's fabulous movie at the link below.

Happy Halloween!
