Colby & Nat: October 2010

This year we got our fare share of festivities in. We were able to dress up on 4 different occasions to Colby's delight since he spent so much time on his costume. I had found the idea on Martha Stewart.com and he went to town to create it. He spent hours on it, and I think it paid off.
To kick off the celebrations we first had a costume party at Ashli and Brian's, she had gone all out to decorate, and it was a lot of fun.
The next night we went to the Pumpkin Walk in Syracuse. I could not believe some of the pumpkins! Pretty impressive if you ask me. I think we'll make it a tradition.

The firefighters even dressed up for the occasion

After being inspired there,

we went home to carve our own pumpkins with Bryce and Erica. Colby brought out his creative side, and impressed me once again.

Friday we went to a party my cousins threw, and had a blast. It was filled with a pumpkin launch, dinner, costume contest,


"Bee Keeper and a Bee"


One of the many creative costumes, "Global Warming"

doughnut on a string game,

dipping carmaled apples,

and our favorite... glow in the dark baseball.

Yep, this is a picture of glow in the dark baseball:)

Last night I made Colby a little festive dinner. While making it we saw this...

Although you can't see it, it was a double rainbow, and one of the prettiest post rainstorms I've ever seen.
On the Halloween Dinner Menu: dinner in a pumpkin,

bread bones and blood,

and shaped orange jello jigglers.

After eating and handing out treats to the very few trick-or-treaters we had, (I sadly think Trick-or-Treating door to door is a thing of the past) we headed out to another costume party at a friend of Colby's.

One of my favorite pictures of the whole season...Colby patiently waiting for Trick-or-Treaters with his homemade bees swarming his head:)

Then to polish off Halloween, today we went to my parents dressed up for dinner where the rest of the grand kids had come decked in their costumes. I'd say we had our feel for Halloween this year! It sure was fun though!
