Halloween 2009

Halloween this year was a lot of fun. We started in early October to work on our costumes! I had a lot of fun making the boys costumes this year, as well as Anth's and I. Peter decided that he wanted to be a fireman for Halloween but I didn't want to buy an expensive costume so I researched online and found a homemade pattern so easy even I could do it.
Andrew was dubbed our Clifford! Peter was going to be Clifford but then bailed out so Andrew got to be that. (I'm so thankful that he hadn't reached the age of knowing what he wants) He refused to smile or let me take his picture. He was so cute though. He had a cute red hat, that my sister-in-law Tabitha made that had cute felt ears. The boys had so much fun trick-or-treating. After Andrew got his box of raisins though, he was done! Out of all his candy, he was most excited about RAISINS!

Anthony came up with the idea of Waldo! It was a big hit! Everyone thought he looked awesome! He won a prize at his family party for best costume! Its amazing what you can do with duck tape!
I decided to be Super Mom! I had a lot of fun with this costume! The wig was my favorite part! It was alot of fun to wear and be! And it went perfect with our Halloween surprise for Anthony's family!

Anthony and I found out we were pregnant about three weeks before Halloween! We were so excited but decided it would be found to wait and tell his family at Halloween! It was so fun to watch their faces as I walked in the room with my stuffed belly and watch their reaction! It was priceless! Alot of them thought we were just being funny, playing up the Super Mom thing and then it was the double take and the "Oh, Really!"s that made it so fun!
So I am about nine weeks pregnant and the official due date is June 21st! We are excited, especially Peter! He loves to tell people about the baby in mommy's tummy!
