Halloween Week! 
They were very helpful, the hot dogs turned out so cute, and everyone had fun!
I then attempted to carve some pumpkins. I told the kids to find some patterns on the computer and they chose some HARD ones! Since Jon left for CA earlier that day it was all ME! I ususally help clean the pumpkins and he does all the carving! Brinley wanted to help of course:
Pretty much it was a sticky mess!
But worth it when I see how excited they are to see their pumpkins all lit up!
I attempted to carve LeBron James' face on Mason's pumpkin. I think it turned out OK for an amature. I just loved Mason's comments, "Wow Mom that looks really hard to do!" and "Mom you're good at that!" They think Dad can do everything, but I must say I think I pulled my weight last night! 
I only finished two out of five last night. I heard from Morgan and Brooklyn all day today, " When are we going to finish the pumpkins, Is mine next??? Morgan wants the "So You Think You Can Dance" Logo and dancer on hers??? Yah Right!
Since I was out of town last week; this week I am scrambling to finish up costumes, carve pumkins, and do some fun activities with the kids. Luckily Amber took the kids to the pumpkin patch while we were in Mexico, so I now have pumpkins! Last night we had an impromptu Halloween Dinner/FHE! The girls and I made Mummy Hot Dogs:

Yah Right!Here are some pictures of some new Decor that I got this year!
The green/purple spiders I purchased from JoAnn's and filled them with candy eyeballs:
My mom made me this "Spooky" Halloween banner last year! I love it hanging above my kitchen table!
I snatched up this advent calender at TJ Maxx early September. It reminded me of PB Kids
I found this cute purple metal Spooky sign at an Antique Store! Love it with my sparkly pumpkins from last year!
Hopefully everyone is having as much fun as we are this week! Don't eat too much candy because there is much more to come this weekend!

Kudos to the pumpkin carving! Pete carves our pumpkins, I don't think I would do such a great job at it!
You are having enough fun for two families and it's a good thing because we haven't done anything yet! Oh well. Glad you're having fun!
What great Halloween decor! I have tons of things myself and I just keep using them over and over each year. But, I guess there's always room for something new. I'd completely forgotten that I made you that banner. I made one for you, one with Monique and one for the craft show which I sold. I do not have one for myself. Kind of like the cobbler whose children had no shoes story!
Mom
You're such a good Mom! (That's for you and your mom)
I was hoping to find pics of your trip already up and running. Luckily you found them the other night! Whew...Love that Halloween advent calendar. That'll be one of those decorations your kids remember even when they've grown.
