Halloween Festivities 2009

The week of Halloween was a busy one this year! Isaac started the week by going to his first friend Halloween party. I feel like he is getting so old when he starts getting invited to little kid parties. His friend, Ethan from preschool invited all the kids over and they had a ball icing cookies and doing fun Halloween activities. 

Isaac's choice of costume this year: Buzz Lightyear!!! 

My brother took this darling picture but it was getting dark and I'm not that great with photoshop! We had a family Halloween party on my side of the family so all the kids could see each other in their costumes. 

We had chili and cornbread, the kids sparkled pumpkins and played Halloween Bingo (which Isaac won!) And grandma and grandpa gave the kids a special halloween treat bag with some fun little toys inside.

(When he's in costume, he has to be called Buzz.)

At home Isaac wanted to paint his pumpkins. He mixed colors, painted his hand and smeared it on the pumpkins, and colored them with markers.

At preschool, Isaac was busy making Halloween crafts like this scary pumpkin mask!

They had a Halloween party and he came home with lot's of treats!


Later in the week Isaac wanted to take another "stab" at his pumpkins! ... Literally. We found him with a butter knife trying to carve his own pumpkin. As much as Brett hates this tradition, he was a good sport and helped Isaac carve it.

Isaac LOVED cleaning out the guts! (Although, it took his a while to get him to use his hands and not a giant spoon that Brett gave him.) Cleaning the pumpkin is always mom and Isaac's job because of the pumpkin smell.

Isaac drew his own face with tiny eyes and a tiny nose. Brett followed his pattern exactly. (Well, he helped a little with the mouth. Isaac wanted a tooth.) But he was so proud of his creation!

It was an eventful week as we anticipated Halloween and getting to do the most exciting part...
Trick or Treating!
