HALLOWEEN PICS

THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE

I'm keeping the theme going. It took me about 2hrs to cut this out, I thought it would take longer. The key was to start in the middle of the face and work out and cut the small pieces first.


Cool mistake pic.

HALLOWEEN PARTY 2010

Today was party day at school. For the last two years I've managed to dress her in a costume she can wear all day. Violet came home with lots of treats and told us all about her friends costumes. We asked her what all she did today and she said "trick or treat I want some candy people!"

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I'M A TEDDY BEAR

We picked up Violet's Halloween pictures today. They turned out great! She still says she's going as a teddy bear. We got a 10 x 13 of the top pick and framed it. This is what turns out when she won't cooperate and smile. But by the end we got a smile.

HALLOWEEN PARTY

Our neighborhood party was last night. Violet and I dressed as witches and Chris dressed as a stormtooper. He literally finished it up a few hours before the party.







We brought witch cupcakes.

When it got dark we all went on a hay ride around the subdivision.

ALL COSTUMES NOW DONE!

Princess Leia costume is now finished.

More pics can be seen HERE.

MORE PEOPLE DRAWINGS

Yesterday Violet and I waited in the car while Chris ran into the post office. We have a mini etch-a-sketch we keep in the car, so I pulled it out and started drawing people. I was showing her how to draw people with triangle bodies. I've been trying to break down drawings into shapes for her. Anyway, I think it sunk in because I looked over and she'd drawn this. So it looks like she's moved on from stick people. After I snapped this pic she added some squiggles of hair on top of the head. Her people's hair looks like a mound of spaghetti on top of their heads. At least she knows where the hair goes.

BYE, BYE

Bye, bye Focus. You served me well for 10 years! Last Friday I washed it and got it all nice and shiny before we sold it.
We asked Violet what color our new car should be, her response was pink.

EWOK COSTUME

For those who don't know what an Ewok is, they were the furry teddy bear creatures from Star Wars Return of the Jedi.

I think I'm pretty much done with the costume. More pics can be seen HERE.

HALLOWEEN FITTING

One Ewok body done. Violet tells people she's going to be a teddy bear for Halloween. I'm finishing the hood that goes over the ears and face. She's also got furry mittens and shoe covers too.

ONE YEAR LATER

:::click on images to see larger:::
I was really hoping the weather would have been chillier so Violet could have worn her skull hat. I really think she's grown a foot this year.

No. Those aren't the same shoes as last year.

This year it was very difficult getting her to sit still to take a picture with the pumpkins. She was mad because we were getting ready to leave.

PUMPKIN PICKIN'

Johnson Farms
We got to the farm as soon as they opened and were the first ones out in the field. The weather was a bit warm and got really busy by the time we left.

On the wagon heading out to the field.


I want this one.
