I tortured myself trying to find costumes for the kids - it is always so hard here because the costumes are mostly designed for the cold weather. Halloween is anything but cold here. Dayton kept changing his mind...a robot, a clown, a prince...Saige would NOT change her mind: she wanted to be a vacuum. I know...she's strange. Needless to say, by the time I hit the stores everything was picked over...no sizes left, no costumes left. I resorted to looking online. I found the perfect costumes for both of them...turns out shipping them here was going to be more than the costumes. Forget it! I finally found this cheap and easy clown costume for Dayton and decided Saige could wear her tutu, some wings and a crown. Dayton was excited for the costume; until he put it on of course...it was itchy, he couldn't breathe with the clown nose on..."I'll just be Thomas the Train" he says. That's what he was last year. *sigh* If I only knew. We also did our yearly trip to the pumpkin patch. I had special Halloween shirts for them to wear and everything...they were long sleeve...the weather was 90 degrees. So much for that. Halfway there I realized I had forgotten to put the battery back in my camera. I had to resort to cell phone pictures this year. While it was a disastrous event for me, the kids didn't care - they just wanted to eat a piece of candy.
Saige's first time scooping goop out of the pumpkin.
Dayton's carved pumpkin. He chose the pattern, I did the carving (it was hard!!)
Our roasted seeds. Surprisingly, the kids liked them. They are apparently healthy for men to eat.
Dayton's final product.
Saige's final product.
The kids and I dressed up for a Halloween party at The Ching's house. I'm a ladybug, though it is hard to see my costume. Good thing we got a picture when we first arrived cause the costumes only lasted 5 minutes.
Apparently Halloween is a huge holiday for all Hawaii resident dogs.
Was trying to capture the HUGE Great Dane and instead captured a friendly little hello. Oops.
Scary monster dog we saw while trick or treating.
Thomas...again.
My princess, butterfly, fairy Saige.
