halloween at my house!

First off, i have to say that i just switched over to the new blogger.....has anybody else?...i was so frustrated at trying to upload my photos that i finally did it....and they all uploaded in less than 10 seconds. So far so good blogger!!!!
Second thing i have to say, is that i am finally going to get serious about learning to use a camera......and not just digital photo touch ups, lol!! And to celebrate I had to go and get myself a new camera!!!! So check it out!

I have been needing to get a new one for work, so this was killing two birds with one stone. I was looking at getting the 30d, but this had a higher pixel, and as we do alot of enlargements for advertising, i thought for now this was a better way to go.....especially cuz im still learning. But i am sooo stoked! and even Jess was getting involved in trying to learn. For a minute, lol, but it was a start!

So last night we carved our pumpkins! This is Victoria, being as serious as she ever is when she is "creating" anything!

And this is little brooke. She took forever to actually stick her hands in the pumpkin, and kept calling it ewwwwwww!!! goooey! And then just like last year she tried to clean her pumpkin back up and put the seeds and goo back inside as we were taking it out. Victoria finally convinced her to "goo" was just like playdough, and then she said "oh it is?" and then jumped in two fisted, lol! Way to go Victoria!!!

Jess and i spent extra time this year carving out the pumpkins and tried to get creative! I made a spider (darn hard to do those spider legs i tell you),, and he made a devil face. I was pretty impressed with the two of us, as normally we botch them. Victoria's is theone in the middle.....she wouldnt say what she was making, and i didnt want to ask in case i was already supposed to know, lol



And then of course, tonite was halloween nite!!! Victoria wanted to be scary, not pretty this year.....and brooke liked that idea too. Which was too bad, cuz i had gotten her the cutest snow white costume...which i made her dress up into anyways at least for pics, lol...and now it is in her "tickle trunk"
But i have to say she was an awesome witch! I got some awesome photos for layouts! and she had fun, cold as it was. She gave hugs to those that gave her candy....ran everywhere....and tried to spook people as she passed them. Waayyyy cute!!



And this is Victoria as a mummy! I wasnt able to get very many great photos of her, as Brooke was done up first and was very impatient and wouldnt give me time to snap her. And by the time we got home, she was already unraveling, lol!.....but before we left, she really did look awesome! her hair was everywhere and she kept up her role all the way through the nite--she loves to throw herself into the part!

So the girls had a fun nite...and the parents got cold. I guess that's the way it is supposed to be, lol! End of the month already, sigh. This one went by fast!!! Here is hopin November is a good one!!

On a side note....we are back to needing another 3-4 employees....no longer 2-3. That bites the big one!!!!

Hope everybody had a nice halloween!!!!!
