Decorating the Halloween Tree

My mom and I found a fake black christmas tree and decided to make a Halloween tree. So the boys and I made dough ornaments, and sucker ghosts to hang on the tree. Plus my mom and I bought some purple, black and orange ornaments, beads, fabric and spider webs for the tree. The boys had fun making everything and we all had a great time putting the tree together.

We got so carried away that the boys got decorated too!!!

Pumpkin Painting

Ted and Alex both painted two pumpkins and Brad painted one; while my mom and I were working on glazing the Halloween tree ornaments. Ted painted a Kirby on one side and a Pokemon Ball on the other side. And on his other pumpkin he painted a Picachu on one side and a King Dedede on the other side. (Can you tell his is into Pokemon right now??) Alex painted a big Pokemon ball on one of his pumpkins and a "scary face" guy on his other pumpkin. Brad pained a Frankenstein.

Halloween Crafts

We got crafty for halloween!!

We made spiders our of foam balls, black spray paint, pipe cleaners and eyes.

We made a Fall Weath....

Here is the fall wreath finished and the spiders!!

Then we made dough ornaments and painted them for our new Halloween tree.

Then we made a haunted treehouse and a haunted graveyard!

Stocker Farms

We went to Stocker Farms again this year. It is so much fun there; they have a festival that includes face painting, corn boxes, bouncy house, fishing, bubble machines, football toss, hamster wheels, tractor rides, a hayride with pumpkin cannon, corn maze, and pumpkin patch. This is the third year we have gone and every year the boys have a great time. We picked out a few pumpkins to take home.

My three wonderful children!!

The boys have always gotten along and play well with each other; well atleast 90% of the time they do. We were hoping that adding another child into the mix wouldn't change anything and we got lucky again....they all get along. Ted and Alex love their little sister and she adores them.

Thanks for a wonderful weekend away!

We left on Friday for our anniversary weekend. We stayed in downtown Bellevue, about 20 minutes south of us, at the Marriott Courtyard. We had a wonderful room with a HUGE spa tub, a living room (a small sofa and lounge chair) with mini fridge and microwave, a sitting area (two reading chairs) and a not so comfortable king bed. I found a deal online that included their buffet breakfast for both mornings and dinner out at any restaurant in Bellevue Square. We had a great lazy weekend. We read, watched movies/TV, walked around the mall and had a fabulous dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, soaked in the HUGE tub and relaxed all weekend. It was wonderful!!!!! But by Sunday we were ready to come home. We both missed the kids.
