Our Halloween Pumpkins ~2009

We used the pumpkins from our garden that we grew this year for our total Halloween pumpkins. Brandon and Brianna do not like the feel of the insides of the pumpkins and obviously cannot participate in the cutting/carving of the pumpkins, so with the older kids gone for the weekend, we opted to let them paint their pumpkins. They had a ball and were sooooo proud of their painted pumpkins.

Halloween 2009

Brandon was the bumble bee from transformers and Bri decided to be a cowgirl this year....they were excited to get started early this afternoon, and being it was a saturday, we just let them wear their costumes as long as they wanted.....Our trick or treating started at the Richland Uptown at 3:00 and they were done with the neighborhood and everything by 6:30....nice! Then they got their e:card from Mama Nean and danced the Zombie Zash....:) And Grandma Norma gave them Ice Age 3 i nstead of candies..... :) We ate a nice dinner, visited, I crocheted and we watched the movie. It was a great day, though I must say I missed Carissa and Cody, they opted to spend the weekend with their dad.

Bri's Weekend Messes involving food

So I had a very interesting Friday & Saturday Night with Brandon and Brianna, Bill worked two days of his 9 days in a row and the kids had been in bed about an hour each night right before this happened.  I checked on them, they were sleeping, or so I thought, I felt I was safe and ya, NOT......mashed potatoes, and Red cupcake frosting................

Presenting Brianna Jeannine Hoke, she is dressed for bed and ready to sleep well, please notice the unique matching of her socks, beautiful green flowered jammie bottome, long-sleeve two-fer shirt underneath her daring yellow dora and boots swimsuit, and finished off with nothing else but her fairy/butterfly wings.

This is how Brianna gets ready for bed "BY MY SELF"

Carissa went to homecoming with her friend Derek this year. She had a lot of fun dancing and hanging out and per usual, she looked beautiful.
