Halloween Countdown

We had big plans to go to several Halloween events this weekend. However, Florida weather had another plan in mind and that was rain...

Alll weekend long. Luke had a Halloween party to go to on Saturday, so I set him up with some creepy zombie make up...

Isabelle and I used this opportunity to get to work on our pumpkins and our ghost jugs {thanks pintrest}...

Someone snuck into the candy while we worked

Sunday came along and with it brought more rain. Isabelle decided she wanted to use some of the make up left over from daddys zombie look to make herself {or for me to make her} into a tiger...

Rawrrr

Next, we finished up our ghost jugs. These were really fun and easy for Isabelle to participate in the making of. We saved up milk jugs for a couple weeks and used a tutorial from pintrest to put them all together...

Proud of her work

After our little ghosts were all lined up, we got back to work on our pumpkins. Last year we made the mistake of actually carving our pumpkins, which we learned when you live in Florida, is NOT a good idea! It was molded and rotten in 2 days. So, this year we went for a different approach...

With all that hard work, we had worked up quite an appetite.    There is nothing better than a big pot of veggie soup after a soaking week weekend...

But really, what fun is veggie soup? So, we got busy on our next project for the day, Halloween cookies...

Add icing of course

After all that, it was bedtime. Isabelle and I were both pooped, but are ready for Halloween!! Bring it on...
