crazy go nutz: I know what we're going to do today...

Dress up like Phineas and Ferb!

Where's Perry?

Here's Dr. Doofenshmirtz thinking about his evil-anator:

This year we thought it would be fun to do a family theme, so we all dressed up like characters from Phineas and Ferb. It's a cartoon from the Disney channel that we all enjoy. If you haven't seen it yet, here are some pictures:

Here's a rundown of some of our Halloween happenings:

Halloween Playgroup -

I let C dress up how he wanted. It was a super/shark/monster combination. We had fun playing with friends and eating mummy dogs.

Our ward's Trunk or Treat and carnival -

We all dressed up and had fun playing games at the carnival.

We got our picture taken together, though you can't really tell who we're supposed to be.

Then R took the boys trunk or treating in the rain while I stayed dry with the baby. The boys hair color ran off onto their costumes. I'll let you in on a little FYI, the green doesn't come out very easily. If you get to choose hair color, go for the orange. It washed out much better. (And after repeated washings and a haircut, C's hair is still looks a little on the fluorescent side).

Pumpkin Carving -

This is one of the boys' favorite activities.

Daddy helped C out.

C thought it was hilarious to take the lid on and off.

I helped V, though we let him do a lot of it himself this time.

B got to watch.
