Halloween 2010

We had a fun filled WEEK of halloween this year. We were sad we didn't get to have our annual pumpkin carving party at our house this year because daddy had to go back to guadalajara for a month. But, we did have fun carving pumpkins with Justy and Belles at their house. Thanks to Justin for helping with the dirty work that Erik usually does! I was surprised the kids actually liked getting the gunk and seeds out. I was pretty proud of myself, though for helping carve the faces.....they turned out pretty cute!







The next fun event for the week was Costa's school halloween carnival. He was so excited to see all his friends and show them his costume! Ironman was a popular one this year, we must have seen 5 others!

Halle's school had a parade for all the parents to come see the kids in their costumes!

We were supposed to go to Aunt Lynz and Uncle Marks on friday night for a "trick or trunk" but due to Halle and I getting sick the day before, we were unable to go.....Halle had already invited her friend Lauren from school to join us, so we went to plan B......mcdonalds and a movie;) We made it a fun night!

AND.......last BUT not least, the night we were all waiting for HALLOWEEN! Halle and Costa acted like it was Christmas, they were SO excited to go trick or treating! We have been out of the states for the last three years, so Halle doesn't even remember trick or treating...so this was basically a first for both of them! We headed over to Justin and Libby's early to get ready and have some chili, then off we went! House to house to house to house.....for a couple hours! Costa was pretty much over it once his bucket was full. Halle wanted to keep going when hers was over full. Mom and Luke joined us as well...and Grandma and Papa Contreras came to see the kids too. Just what a prego needs....2 buckets full of candy in the house...lol! Super!
