Halloween Preview

I am really not a fan of Halloween (sorry Vicki) so it is always a struggle for me to get into the swing of things. As the boys get older and demand more from mommy on this day, I am finding it hard to overcome my reluctance involving all things Halloweeny. When I saw this on clearance, I thought the boys would enjoy it, little did I know how much! I didn't realize how gigantic it was until I got the web all untangled...I guess I succeeded somewhat this year! More Halloween pics to come! Xander doesn't know how to react to the spider eating AJ's head... Don't they look terrified? I love how AJ's tongue matches his shirt:)
I made Rod carve pumpkins with the boys before he left because he is much better at it than I! Also it's kind of a Father / Son tradition. Rod carves them and the boys show off the final product (taking full credit). This is A.J.'s Hotwheels symbol, Rod had to freehand it and A.J. was quite pleased with it.
Jango Fett. Did you really expect anything less for XanderThe finished products

Very cool web! Why did Rodney get all the artistic talent in the family? Not an artistic bone in my body. Are your pumpkins still holding up? ours were chock full of mold within 3 days. grrr. I must admit...I have no idea who jango fett is. would you enlighten me?

Oh, you are a Halloweenie at heart, you cannot hide under your false pretenses any longer. You buy Halloween decor, you take your kids trick or treating, you even do parties, you're a Halloweenie!
