Halloween

We are having work done on the house right now, in fact Halloween night was spent in a hotel. The night before Halloween the hotel hosted trick-or-treating and my niece came to visit and play with us. She was supposed to wear a flower costume but refused to put it on, luckily we had enough super hero costume pieces in our suitcase for TWO batmans that night.

Gideon thinks the hotel is his new house and took Liyah on a tour of the place.

trick or treating

After trick or treating we headed to the arcade because I am totally addicted to arcades now.

I won all the tickets and got an awesome ball from teh claw game

On Halloween night we still managed to go trick-or-treating with some friends who loaned us their neighborhood for the night.  This year we all dressed up as zombies from the video game Plants vs Zombies (A favorite of Gideon's, he was very excited about his costume)

here is the zombie doll I made for him from the game:

and here we all are in our costumes at the hotel

But what is even scarier than zombies is this:

After Halloween we bought a bunch of costumes on clearance and Gideon has loved dressing up pretty much everyday

I have been struggling with the house being torn up for the renovations, we usually spend a lot of time at home doing crafts and playing but for the last three weeks we have been having to find places to go all day everyday, but I did manage to sneak in a Thanksgiving craft last week.  Gideon helped put together the turkeys and told me what to write as things he loves.  I was relieved that he said people's names instead of blueberries and Toy Story 2.
