When October rolls around it is crunch time for costumes. The boys are always VERY specific about what they want to be. I am talking color specific...like that is the wrong shade of red for Mario and her wears black shoes I need black shoes only! I love hearing what they come up to be each year and I try to make it happen for them.
This year I pulled together 9 costumes total. I came up with the ones for our family and some for some friends. It is something I LOVE to do.
Below:
Josef 14 is Dr. Who #10 (David Tennant)
Ian 11 is Mario and he has a Toad Stool
Kaleb 8 is a Mad Scientist
Oliver 6 is a Toy Story Alien again

I've been invited to try Time4Learning for one month in exchange for a candid review. My opinion will be entirely my own, so be sure to come back and read about my experience. Time4Learning can be used as a homeschool curriculum, for afterschool enrichment and forsummer skill sharpening. Find out how to write your own curriculum review for Time4Learning.
Check back next month for reviews on Time4Learning from Idaho Homeschoolers.
The boys carved the pumpkins they found at Linder Farms into some adorable Jack-O-Lanterns. This year they all did about 85% of the work. In past years we have done most of the actual work involved while they were just project managers. We told them to keep the designs simple so they would be successful. The finished faces have a cartoon quality to them. They turned out great!!
Levi and I came up with another fun couples costume this year. Everyone has wanted to be a superhero at one time or another. Why not in your 30's? Here we are as Wonder Woman and Superman. These are not costumes though...in our real lives we really do have to have super human abilities to survive raising 4 boys, homeschool, and endure12 years of marriage.
Another successful Homeschool Trunk or Treat!!

Ian got some small gourds and created this guard guy. He is so proud of it. He is a vampire gourd so we named him Count Gourdula.
