Halloween 2009

Pick a pick a pumpkin from the pile,
You can give it eyes and a great big smile,
Pick a pick a pumpkin round and clean,
then you'll be ready for Halloween.
Ha-llo-ween,
Ha-llo-ween,
then you'll be ready for Halloween!

A belated happy Halloween to everyone! We didn't do anything too exciting, and though we did dress up, (Taylor as Bellatrix LeStrange and Dean as a deranged hockey player) we forgot to take pictures of our costumes. Oops. Here are some shots of the rest of our low-key but enjoyable festivities.

We carved pumpkins together!
(Henry was extremely curious about the whole process)

A shot in the light and
A shot in the dark

He's the Devil in Disguise

Bloody steaks, ice cold blood to drink,
salad, and popcorn balls rounded out the evening.
Until next year!
(For Halloween that is...hopefully it won't be that long until I post again)

Thank you for being a Harry Potter character for Halloween - you rock, Taylor! Your dog is adorable, by the way. :)

Things I love about this post (and the circumstances surrounding it):

-How Hank looks in the first picture –- simultaneously miserable and reproving ("Really? How could you do this to me?").

-That you not only chose a Harry Potter character, but that it was one so frequently unseen in costume (and one so deliciously villainous) as Bellatrix.

-That Dean's fallback was hockey. Dave was about to do that, but he went as a blind ref instead. Gotta love 'em.

I'm sad I don't know who Bellatrix LeStrange is, but I'm sure your costume was great. Henry's costume makes me laugh.

Ha ha Justus carved his pumpkin with the same scary face pattern. Ah free patterns, you've got to love them.

You should have taken a picture of yourself...that's an awesome character to choose! She's absolutely frightening.
