We ended up having a really lovely day weatherwise today, it was in the pluses and i was melting the snow which was awesome.
Jason headed out first thing to start setting up the Halloween decorations.
Freya was off too, she headed over to Theia's as soon as I let her to hang out and help them set up their Halloween decorations.
We wanted to do the thing where you take a picture of your child with their face squished up against a window then you put it inside a jar to make it look like they are stuck in there.
Eden's turned out pretty good.
I think I like this smiling one of her the best.
We didn't end up getting any of Freya and we didn't have time to get it printed out but I think I'm still going to do it anyway and have it to display next year.
Looks like I haven't used this chalkboard since last year.
I got it cleaned off and ready to go for tonight.
Jason was working on getting his scarecrow put up.
He makes a new character every year and the scarecrow is the one he made this year.
Eden was helping him.
I went outside too because it was just so nice out.
I worked on getting the ice and snow cleared off of our driveway and walkways for tonight.
Kody came over and Eden wanted to 'carve' her pumpkin which to her meant painting it.
So I got her a few colors and it started off good.
Kody drew a face and she was filling it in.
But then everything got mixed together and the whole pumpkin just got covered but that was fine.
She enjoyed herself.
Jason got his scarecrow put up and made it super sturdy so that there was zero chance of it falling over on anybody.
He put his pumpkin head guy at the bottom - it looked great - they kind of match.
He got his Jason guy set up on the swing.
He looks so realistic, like he could just get up and come after you.
This is supposed to be our swing girl but we have a bunch of characters in the tree so now she sits in the bike trailer.
The floating girl looks awesome.
He put lights around the pumpkin head guy - I like it.
A close up of him - this was one of the first characters Jason ever made.
This guy coming out of the coffin looks great.
Jason gave Jason some friends on the swing.
This is his Labyrinth character.
This is another character that Jason made one year.
Yet another character - this guy is way up in the tree.
Cleavis was sitting in the chair in front of the tree.
Jason made this cross too - he's so good at Halloween.
He scattered skulls and bones in the flower bed.
Then he set up the jump scare girl.
Some kids are really frightened by her and won't even come near the stairs so we will take the candy out to them.
Freya brought the pumpkin she carved at Crystal's the other day over to our place then I got a few carved up to set up.
I carved the one that Eden painted.
Then I did this one with the big oval eyes.
Freya got ready at Theia's and they started trick or treating - our place was one of their first stops.
I figured we should probably get Eden ready.
Kody had to take Haylee up to the hospital so he asked Crystal if she'd take Eden around trick or treating until he could make it home to do it.
She kept changing her mind all day about what she wanted to be.
She had the big lip monster and the princess costume but then when we asked she'd say she wanted to be a ghost or a cat.
Eventually she decided that she wanted to be a creepy princess.
I had no make up so Crystal brought hers with her and did Eden's creepy make up for her.
She did a really great job.
I think Freya loved it.
A beautiful, creepy princess.
Selfie with Grandma Crystal.
They ran into Freya and Theia.
By the time Kody finished up with Haylee at the hospital and came to get Eden she was done.
I tried to get her to go over to my neighbor and co-worker, Chase's house, but she would not go.
She just wanted to go in the house and get her costume off.
Zepplyn came by with her friends and came in to get a picture with Eden.
Mom dressed up in the Scream mask that we picked up to scare Eden.
Eden got mad at her for it - it was kind of funny.
Jason's buddy and my co-worker Blair came by trick or treating.
He was all dressed up and had a mask on and he knocked on the door.
So I offered him a chocolate bar but then I realized something was up because he as acting kind of strange then he took his mask off and we all had a good laugh.
Jason made pizza for supper - it was delicious.
Crystal stayed and had some with us.
Freya ended up staying at Theia's for the night and Kody picked Eden up - she wanted to go home.
It was close to 9 when we got our last few trick or treaters
We ended up getting around 59 all together.
Jason went out and took all of the decorations down, he doesn't like to keep them up in case it rains or in case people come and destroy them.
He took some pictures of everything in the dark.
This floating lady looks so cool up in the tree.
Everything lit up looks great.
We have lots of spot lights but I think we need a few more.
The dark just makes everything extra spooky.
We had a pretty great spot light aimed at this guy.
Cleavis is just chilling like the villain that he is.
Jason had a strobe light aimed at the scarecrow and it looked good.
Now everyone is back in the garage hanging out until next year.
My cousin Pam's grandchildren all stopped by to visit her with their costumes on.
I love seeing all the kiddos in their costumes, it's so much fun.
Step total for the day.
That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
