BEWARE: Pumpkin Overload!!!

Here is a fun picture reel of our Pump-E-Kins!!!





















Trick or Treat!

Braiden wanted to take a picture with our pumpkins before we ventured out to go trick or treating.
Mouseketeer Braiden!
( complete with a Mickey balloon )
Hailey was Lilo this year.
Her costume was also economical.  I bought her an ordinary red dress and together with Daddy and Auntie Katie's help we designed her Lilo dress.  Mili completed her costume by playing the part of Stitch :)
Ready to Trick or Treat!


Matthew and Auntie Katie were quite a pair...
Bacon & Eggs to be exact!
Everywhere we went we heard people saying, "Look! There's the Bacon! Where's the Eggs? Oh! There's the Eggs!"



We ran into another Stitch who was
so excited to find his friend Lilo!!!
Mili rocked her stitch costume
and wasn't afraid to SIZE up her fellow stitch friends!
After every trick or treat, Braiden had to inspect his bucket.
He kept tabs on them!

Dancing Skeletons
Our annual photo-op with THE Witch.

Lots of carved pumpkins.
As the night progressed we slowly snuck away Braiden's loot
only leaving a few...
Hence his EMPTY expression!!! 
*It's a great parent TRICK!!! ;) wink-wink ;)

Halloween Time

What do you get when you put Braiden in
Mickey Ears and a Mickey Shirt???
A Mousekeeter!!!
Auntie Katie came up with this idea for Braiden's Halloween costume this year.  It was a fitting costume for him as he loves everything Mickey and not to mention it was a great economical choice!!!
Braiden got to sport his get-up at Disneyland's pumpkin patch.

This pumpkin was the very first one he grabbed and would carry it everywhere to compare!
Why, Hello there!?!?
We thought we could sneak and take a picture with all the scare crows on the hay stacks but unfortunately that area was just for props :(



Braiden got excited when he found two similar pumpkins :)


Still on a scout.
Boo!

Original pick is still his FAV!



Catching the Monorail into Disneyland!

Read my EARS!


"Roller Coaster"

Meeting Mickey in Mickey's House!!!
Showing Mickey his Braiden Mouseketeer shirt.




SMILE :)

High Fives!
See you later Mickey!
Going in for the Kiss.
Braiden absolutely LOVES to meet all the Disney characters but by far Mickey Mouse is his favorite. Unlike Hailey whom was always scared of characters in costumes until she was about 3-4 years old, Braiden patiently waits in line to see them and always greets them with a Hug and Kiss and always manages to give them High Fives! He poses with them to take his picture and then says, "see you later"! So amazed that there is never weeps or complaints throughout the whole process. It's purely a heart warming feeling that he is happy and feels so satisfied!

Besides the park being decked out with carved pumpkins,
 we found some great painted ones too!

It's a HUGE Mickey Pumpkin!!!
Happy Halloween!!!
