Happy Hallow-scream!

When I was little, my parents had a Halloween decoration that said "happy Hallow-scream" every time you walked by, so the title of this post was in honor of that memory! 

Before Halloween, we have Elliott's birthday! Elliott turned 7 this year!! He wanted a green ninja birthday cake and a Skylanders video game. He got both. He was a happy boy.


Here is our Halloween fun for this year! 
Carving pumpkins with the other Hynes Family, we cooked the seeds too...YUMMM!

We used cookie cutters and a rubber  mallet to make fun designs.


We had to coral Archie to keep him busy while we worked!

Then ghost-sucker making and caramel apple yummies with they Hynes family again.



Lucy was a Carnival Queen, Elliott was Mario from the video games, and Archie was a sock monkey.  I love the face paint.






We got to go to a Halloween party and my sister's house, and Elliott enjoyed raking the leaves most of all!




Here is Archie doing what he likes most...BOOKS!

Here is the kids before "crazy hat day" at school. We have Indiana Jones and the chef!

And for an Archie update...he is no longer allergic to gluten, soy or peanuts!! What a relief! We are happy about the gluten because it opens so many food doors, and we are happy about the peanuts because that can be such a scary one! Here he is eating gluten for the first time!!
