Pumpkin Painting and Second Hall-Zoo-ween


We have been making the most of this October and cramming in lots of Halloween events so the kids won't feel gypped out of not actually trick-or-treating on Halloween(since it falls on Sunday this year).
We took time to paint the free pumpkins we got from the Frisch's pumpkin patch at the first hall-Zoo-ween. As you can see, Jenalee painted herself as well.
Brayden was doing great staying clean...until Jenalee helped him to too much brown paint!! Just when I thought it was safe to leave the room.
Natalie loved using every color and did a great job staying clean. The brown on her face is frosting from a cupcake.
For Hall-Zoo-ween last weekend the kids dressed up in themed costumes. Natalie was Snow White, Jenalee was Cinderella, and Brayden was a knight/prince. They had so much fun picking out their costumes and getting ready. Unfortunately Natalie did not let me brush her hair!

We were able to get good parking at the Zoo, even though it took us almost an hour to get there(40 of which was on a few miles of freeway!). Traffic was atrocious!

One sad thing was this week there was no icecream!! But the kids did still get cookies to enjoy. And silly bands that are always a hit!

Looks like fun! Cute costumes - why are you changing to pioneers? Alli and Mom swear by mosquito repellent for getting paint out of clothes - and I must say that Mom has got a lot of paint out of clothes! I'd wear aprons next time :)
