Disney Halloween 2010

There is a reason it's taken me so long to document one our family's favorite holiday.

Old film.

Yes, believe it or not - film does expire. Who knew? Luckily, the Griz team photographer and friend, Joe, was able to quickly pinpoint [one of the reasons] why my pictures turned out like this and this. (I knew it couldn't have possibly been user error.) The Halloween pictures I was sure would turn out GREAT were even worse than those. I do have a couple shots taken with my iPhone and I bought the CD from Walgreens of those from my expired film so here is our Halloween, kind of.

It all started with some shirts the girls made at school, complete with glittery puff paint!

Here is Rowan working the pumpkin hat.

Big thanks to GRACE for humoring mommy.

Next was the school Halloween party. The girls dressed up as pirates, which some of you may remember they did last year. The teachers said they might get messy with all the festivities so we thought it was best not to ruin our real costumes.

Here is Rowan dressed for school on the Friday before Halloween.

Here is evidence of the full moon.
All three of my children in the same picture!

On to some pumpkin carving and decorating.
We use the Mr. Potato Head princess and pirate kits so the girls can help decorate.

We learned last year that power tools make even pumpkin decorating that much easier.

Here is Mommy's finished project.

(I know you don't need me to point out the fine photography work at hand. Just wait, it gets better.)

Finally, Minnie Mouse (G) and Ariel (P) make their Halloween 2010 entrance.

A rare close up of a mouse.

Yes, she's blinking. But how lucky are we (and you!) to see this picture of a real mermaid. Blinking or not, I'm feeling pretty starstruck right now.

For all those wondering, yes, I will be starting my own photography business in the near future!

And there off!
