Halloween at our House

I decided to post some pictures of some of our decorations and things that we have been doing this Halloween season...
I got his idea from the Food Network website. It's just melted peanut butter and chocolate chips and the pretzels legs and white chocolate chip eyes.
"Mummy Dogs." The eyes aren't very good but it's festive, right?
Our living room window. So fallish.
I put these leaves on Lexi's bedroom window to had some festiveness to her room.
These pumpkins were probably Lexi's favorite decoration. Most of the time they were on the floor and I just let her play with them. They started her fascination with pumpkins.
I bought this at our local craft store. I love it! I just wish I could have found some little plastic baby spiders to put in the web.
This is the easiest craft ever. Take a roll of T.P. and wrap some fabric around it and tuck it in the ends. And then just some finishing touches.
I got the idea for this craft from Val, my sister-in-law. It's just a pot with muslin wrapped around it.
Sean came home from school yesterday with a surprise for me and Lexi, some flowers. Luckily, we had a pot to put them in. Haha.



Check out our amazing carving skills!
Lexi with the pumpkin I carved for her - a flower.

When we carved pumpkins Lexi was sleeping so I got another one to carve today because I thought she'd like playing with and touching the "guts..."
...Lexi did not want anything to do the guts of the pumpkin. She would not touch them or put her hand in the pumpkin.

All ready to go trick-or-treating.
When Sean found out that there were $.50 corn dogs at Sonic, he knew where he wanted dinner. Sonic was packed with dozen of high school and college kids. It look like the were getting their money's worth!
Tonight was free taco night at Taco Bell so we went and got some free black taco's.
Then we went to G's Dairy Delights and I got a $1 ice cream cone and Lexi got a free baby cone. She loved the sugar!

Lexi scratched herself on the nose. So since she was a lion, we decide that she was Scar from the Lion King.



The night ended with a big bubble bath and then sitting on the couch watching candle light dance on the wall. It was a memorable Halloween.

Looks like you guys had fun! Lexi makes a cute lion--even with the scar!
I never got around to making the pretzel spiders, but I'm putting that idea in my pocket for next year.
