You Capture ~ Halloween & Silence

This week the theme over at

I should be folding laundry

was Halloween & Silence

This worked out nicely since I am so behind & haven't shared

 any Halloween pictures yet.

Halloween:

This is one of my favorite shots of the girls.

I love how they are just a little blurry.

They were done with posing for the camera

& all about trick or treating!

Silence:

This is truly what silence looks like in my house.

Here is the rest of our Halloween in photos.

Trick or treaters started around 4:30 which was about an hour early.

We were so not ready & it amped the girls up even more.

Handing out candy while waiting for it to get dark enough to go out.

This was Zanders first Halloween & he wasn't sure

what to make of it. He did enjoy licking lots & lots of kids though!

The only picture I got of all 3 kids.

Matthew went out with his friends this year.

Zander the squirrel dog.

Our "Mummy" dinner.

English muffin pizzas & bread stick wrapped hot dogs.

With fun jello for dessert.

Lime jello with gummy worms & bugs.

Love this idea that I got from

Random Thoughts of a Super Mom

She had the coolest containers for hers,

but I thought my Partylite mini barrel jars ended up cute too.

They kinda looked like witch cauldrons.

Marissa really really enjoyed handing out the candy this year.

I was SO ready to turn the lights out at 8.

She insisted on leaving them on longer & taking care of it.

Around 8:45 she was finally done too.

Our pumpkins.

And finally a few pictures of our decorations.

I almost bought some pom pom spiders at a gift shop.

Matt took one look at them & said you can make those.

I made a bunch of them & they ended up all over the house.

The cats like pom poms & thought they were great new toys.

The Frankenstein that Maddie made in 1st grade.

This was the one decoration she asked about & got so excited

once he was back in his spot.

Thankfully I was able to finish my Spooky blocks before Halloween.

I love how they turned out!

Matt is usually in charge of the outside of the house.

This year he just wasn't into it, so I put up just a few things.

The ghost was a big hit with the kids this year.

It moved & made creepy noises. It didn't have any lights

so I taped a battery tealight under him & it lit him up fabulously.
