happy halloween!

Well, it's that time of year again! As crazy as Halloween gets, I sure do love getting the kiddos all dressed up and lookin' cute. I dread the day when they don't let me have a MAJOR part in their choice of costume. Heehee.

So here we go!!

Our little monster....

A Mermaid Princess...

A Pirate Princess...

The Paper Bag Princess...

...and the attempt at all 4 together. I tried, right???

Holy cow, getting these pictures was so much work! I usually do the front doorstep pictures for Halloween, but this year it's cold and we've gotten snow, so studio pictures was the easier choice! Every year we go to Galaxyland (a bunch of rides at the mall!) on the Friday before Halloween so this was the perfect time to do pictures...and then when the craziness of all the Halloween school parties, dance parties and trick-or-treating hits, I don't even need to worry about pictures...maybe just an instagram here or there. (wink)



And last but not least in the Halloween preparations was carving our pumpkins last night for Family Home Evening! The girls had fun drawing their faces, and then of course, mommy and daddy had to help with the carving...but they were all pros and scooping the pumpkin guts out! Crew was right in there with everyone, we finally had to stick him in his high chair and just keep giving him food so he'd leave everyone alone, heehee. Poor boy!

Crew was much more interested in eating his pumpkin than smiling for a picture. :)

I hope this counts as a real blog post! My sister just moved to Australia and refuses to join Facebook (which drives me crazy...wink!!) so she doesn't see my daily updates and posts that I do there. I soooo miss blogging...I just need to get back in the habit! Oh, and I need more hours in the day! Have a safe, fun and Happy Halloween, everyone!!

Happy Halloween!

Well, it's that time of year again!! The kids have been very excited about their costumes, so here we go!!!!



(sorry for all the pictures, I just couldn't help myself!!!)

Hermione, a couple funky witches and the cutest little skeleton. We kept it pretty simple this year by re-using our cute witch costumes from a couple years ago, some sleepers for Crew and a borrowed cape for Payton. They always turn out so cute, though! As stressful as Halloween can be with all the candy and dressing up for a million different things...I sure do like the pictures in the end, heehee! It seems like we're lucking out with the weather this year, too...no rain or snow, so that's a bonus! (Trick-or-treating isn't for sissy's here in Canada....we're used to bundling up, haha!)



So we got the girls all ready for their Halloween parties at school today and then it's pumpkin carving and trick-or-treating tonight. Over the weekend we've already been on the rides at West Ed in our costumes, the church Halloween party, and dressed up for dancing, soooo....never a dull moment around here! (Oh, and let's not forget about the few trips to the hospital due to Crew's infected little eye...aaahhh! Thank goodness he's doing better now, but he was looking and feeling pretty rough all weekend. Poor baby!)



I hope everyone has a safe, happy and FUN Halloween!!! Until next year!!!

happy halloween!

Happy Halloween from the Audenart Girls!

We've had a busy few days with dressing up at dancing, school parties, carving pumpkins, Trunk-or-Treating and more. Lots and lots of fun, but....this mama is glad it's all over! Haha! Kept it simple this year with store-bought costumes and a little glitter for their "make-up"...they couldn't have been happier!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy halloween!

(And what is "Trunk-or-Treating" you ask? Since Halloween fell on a Sunday this year, our church had a "Trunk or Treat" last night...everyone parks their cars in the church parking lot, opens their trunk, and the kids can go quickly and safely from trunk to trunk, trick-or-treating! It was so fun and easy...tons of people were there, people dressed up and decorated their trunks, there was hot chocolate to drink...I think we should do it every year!)
