This Halloween season we had lots and lots of fun. We were able to do and go to everything we wanted. It all started with going to the pumpkin patches and picking out our pumpkins. Once Savannah found the perfect pumpkin, which let me tell you she took forever finding it, we took it home. She carried it around for days treating it like her baby and pampering it. Finally she let us carve it out. Here are the kids cleaning out the pumpkin guts. Austin, however, was not a big fan. 
One day while we were shopping (surprise) at Toys R Us, we were checking out the halloween costumes. Savannah saw the perfect outfit and spotted a very sparkly dress. To my surprise she did not want to be a princess, but she wanted to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. I loved the idea and my mind went wondering from there....

Bear got lucky and got an outfit this year too. Not that he was any too happy, but he sure did make a good Bat Bear. Thanks Kermie for being to little for the costume and sharing it with Bear.
Here is Savannah and her best bud, McKinley at the Indianapolis Zoo Boo event. They make such a great pair. I hope it continues and they remain friends for years to come.
The best part of this Halloween was coming up with the family costumes. I had a great time. Once Savannah decide to be Dorothy, I decided we would do the Wizard of Oz theme as a family. Usually we don't dress up, but since my aunt was having a Halloween Party and you were supposed to be in costume, I thought this was perfect. So I found Austin the cutest Lion outfit. Last was coming up with the scarecrow and the tin man. If you can imagine, Ricky was not too fond of my ideas, but being a good man that he is, he went with it. Well after a lot of thought I finally found and came up with the tin man gear. Above is Ricky the Tin Man and to my surprise, he won the best costume at my aunts party.
Here we all are as the Wizard of Oz. I really got into the Halloween season this year. Not only was coming up with the cosumes fun, but this year trick or treating was just as fun. Savannah really got into this year. Last year we had to carry her and only go to a few select houses. This year was a totally different story. We started off with a few houses in our neighborhood then headed out to the Calleja's (1 of their sitters) to do some trick or treating. Once in the other neighborhood, Savannah really took off and was eager to go. She walked the whole neighborhood and it is not a small hood to say the least. She even walked up to every door by herself, but before heading to the door, she would repeat, "are you sure?" It became more of a joke than anything. Here she is trick or treating and getting into the Halloween spirit. My little girl is growing up and Austin is not too far behind.
Happy Halloween and next year will be hard to top.
