Halloween 2009

Here are some pics from last weekend. We carved our pumpkins and took some family photos outside our home. Taylor did a wonderful job on her pumpkin this year- she was so creative deciding how to carve it. Owen was curious about the insides of the pumkin. He kept trying to eat the pumkin seeds straight out of the pumpkin. We really had to keep our eye on him.







During the day today we took Taylor, Owen and Taylor's friend Jaclyn to the raptor center for their "Hoot and Howl" event. The kids had fun painting pumpkins, decorating cookies and looking at the birds.




Taylor standing right next to a Barred Owel- look to the right of Taylor. This poor owel is blind and can never be released back into the wild.

Owen just hung out in the Kelty and enjoyed the ride.

After the raptor center, we came home for a bit then went out trick-or-treating. Taylor dressed up as Tess Tyler from one of her favorite movies Camp Rock and Owen dressed up as Yoda from Star Wars. The kids were so cute together! Taylor was a wonderful big sister and showed Owen the ropes at the first few homes we went to. Then from there, all Owen wanted to do was walk. He walked a good 3/4 of a mile around the neighborhood- pooped himself out!


Candy we must get!

Our little rock star- Tess Tyler.


Taylor got a huge bag of candy and was sweet enough to share with Owen when we got home. Owen had his first taste of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and Oreo cookies. After that, he was wired! View the picture below for proof....he was climbing up on the couch and trying to dive into the toy bucket after toys. I held onto his ankles to keep him from going over.


We hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!
