Arrr Matey!

Our Halloween day started getting spooky after nap time. We broke out the candy and decorated our pumpkins! Not with knives though...

From L to R: Daddy's pumpkin, Peyton's Princess Pumpkin, the "Little Baby's" pumpkin, Grace's Pirate Pumpkin, and Mommy's adorable pumpkin.

Dad spotted these super cute Mr. Potato Head pumpkin decorations that we thought would be perfect for the girls and they were a big hit as you can see. Next year we will get bigger pumpkins though... for all you Mr. Potato Head aficionados, I'm sure you've already spotted the missing red nose on Grace's Pirate Pumpkin. It was a toss up between the nose and the mustache and we jointly determined a mustache was a "must" for any pirate.

Mom also broke out her carving skills, a la Martha Stewart, this year on the small pumpkin as I carved everyone's favorite, Wow Wow Wubbzy!





What's your first thought when you think of the perfect Halloween costume for a couple of almost three-year-old girls?

Everyone in unison... a pirate!

The ceremonial "show-me-your-silly-face" picture.

After we practiced our "Arrr Matey's" and saying "Trick-or-Treat" and MOST importantly - "Thank You" we headed out on the open sea/sidewalk to look for booty.

I believe this picture was taken just after Peyton randomly told an older kid who walked by, "Cool costume". It was possibly the funniest part of the night for Mom and Dad.

I take that back. The funniest part of the night was when Peyton told the not-so-nice older gentlemen in the neighborhood that he needed to put on his shoes.

He had answered the door in his bare feet. That's our girl!

Pirate looting in action...

We had a great time trick-or-treating with the girls and are looking forward to enjoying their candy without their knowledge for days to come!
