Happy Halloweenie!

We went to the pumpkin patch with some of our pre-school kids. Cute farm, but would not recommend going on a week day when you have to go as a "school." Aloun Farms is about 30 minutes west of Honolulu and although the place is cute, we didn't enjoy our "school" experience. But I have heard the weekends are better as they are open to the public. Still glad we didn't have to settle going to the supermarket to buy a pumpkin, but it did make me miss our little pumpkin patch back home. 

 Making Halloween cookies with princess themed cookie cutters. The palace was the haunted house and the princess high heel was the witches shoe. And stars just because. Then I "tired" to make a few pumpkins using a knife. Oh well, we did our best! Note to self: get Halloween cookie cutters. Also this is one of those activities that seems like a really great idea to do with kids and it is because they enjoy it so much. I just need to remain more calm when frosting is flying all over the place.

 They were so excited they got to wear their costumes three different times. Once for a Halloween party, then for our ward Halloween party and then for Halloween itself. Lou Who was so obsessed with her wings that I couldn't even take them off to put her in her car seat. I just had to bend them around her.

 Lou Who wouldn't put her hand in the guts, but she did think about it for awhile. 

 Curly had no problem and enjoyed the squishy feel.

We sure missed trick-o-treating with all our cousins this year but we still had a lot of fun with our new friends. We were invited to go with some of our pre-school friends and their friends and had a blast. See how happy Lou Who is?

 Instant BFF's since they were both princesses

 Attack of the little people!

 "Don't even think about it?" Lou Who really got into the candy idea this year. It is so funny and cute to see her run to the door but then get shy and bashful. She couldn't muster up the courage to say trick-or-treat. But had no problem reaching into their bowls of candy. She sometimes said "dank you!"

Happy Halloweenie!!
