Getting Ready for Halloween

Our girls love to do crafts, so for family night we decided to make haunted houses with the girls.  Brooklyn made a haunted house and McKenzie's was a haunted tree house.   The girls were very creative with the design of their houses.  For school this year they asked the kids to decorate pumpkins for the annual pumpkin gallery in the library.  The girls were pretty excited to paint their pumpkins.  I usually like to give my opinion on how to decorate them, but this year I just stood back and let them paint them how ever they wanted.  Brooklyn wanted hers to be cute and girly and McKenzie wanted hers to have two sides one scary and one not scary.  The both turned out really cute.  Ryan like every year was preparing for all the pumpkins he would carve.  He has started quit the collection.  I can't wait for the year we are actually in Utah and can see all of them together.  This year he only had time to carve three, they all turned out pretty cool. 



Yes Ryan is working on printing off all of his zombie pumpkin patterns for the year.  We now have over 265 patterns.  This year we decided that if we wanted to be able to keep them organized in the categories we would need to color code them.  Yes it was alot of work on my part, but it's done and everything is organized. 




The finished Pumpkins.
