Halloween '09

What is it about Halloween? There is something I just love about planning our costumes, putting them together and then taking lots of pictures. I always feel a sense of sadness when it is over because we won't wear them anymore. It's a ton of work, but such a fun time for us at this point in our lives with our kids, and I LOVE it! The stars of this year's Halloween were:

Tanner the "Wiimote"

My friend Lori made this costume and was kind enough to send it to me from Minnesota to borrow! I was so grateful. Tanner loved it and was a hit at school! Thank you dear friend!

Next it was Snow White and her Handsome Prince!(I can hardly resist the temptation to match the twins, can you tell?)
Um, who is that lurking there behind them?
Snow White, I'm not sure you should eat that apple!

Does this person look safe to you???

Is that an adorable little monkey I see? Quite possibly the cutest monkey EVER?
Why its Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat! That Man with the Yellow Hat is SUCH a trooper. I mean, only REAL men can pull off wearing ALL yellow, right?
The whole Jensen gang. I love Tan's bare feet in this picture. If you're wondering, he wore shoes to go trick-or-treating. I mean, it was warm, but come on!

All in all, a most fabulous Halloween. Megan said, it was her best ever! That always warms a mother's heart, doesn't it?! I was glad to hear it. I am almost 17 weeks pregnant, and the last two months have not been a walk in the park. Taking care of four, cute and active kiddos plus being sick and pregnant has been no picnic, but somehow we are getting by and managing to still have fun and do a little something here and there.

Very cute Halloween costumes! And I loved how you just happen to mention that you are 17 weeks pregnant! AHHHH...you are a brave woman! Tonight when I dropped Tanner off I said to him, "so is you mom going to have a baby?" he said, "yes, I hope it's a girl" Carter says, "huh? Why would you want another girl!" Good luck, I hope Megan gets a little sister!

Brandon and Jen Jensen said...

Thank you! Before Gavin came, he wanted a boy, told us it WAS a boy, and pretty much picked out his name. It has really surprised me that Tanner wants a girl this time!
