Halloween 2015

It was our 8th Halloween on Rutherford Circle and it was a hit!

 Our wonderful friends, the Ellis family was kind enough to invite us over for trick or treating and fellowship.  What a gift to have neighbors who became incredible friends!!!

These kiddos could not possibly be any cuter!!!

It was a rainy and windy evening but that did not stop these sweeties from walking the neighborhood.

Alli and Emilie decided to show their independence and asked to go ahead on their own ~ super cute!

Eli could not resist trick or treating with his best buddy, who had THE PERFECT matching costume.

Doesn't get much better than Darth Vader and a Storm Trooper!

As Luke and I were about a quarter of the way around the circle, he asks me if we are done yet ;-)

I said no and asked if he wanted to go to more houses for candy but he said "no, I have a lot of candy"  Couldn't argue that one!!!  He ran to catch up with Nate & Eli and hit up 2 houses with them before deciding he really was done.  We had to go to his buddy Rachel's house to say goodbye :(

These two have such a precious friendship and we will miss their family so much!

And of course we had to stop by Todd and Stacy's one last time before the move.

Goodbyes are tough but how blessed we are to have such wonderful friends to say goodbye to.

Lukey was happy to go back to the Ellis's house to watch a fun movie and check out his candy.

These four were adorable and tired ;-)

While these four chilled, Blake, Emilie and Alli hit up the next neighborhood and came back with quite the loot for the Candy Fairy.  Though the weather could have been better, it sure was a fun last Halloween in Rutherford.

Halloween 2012 - Neverland Fisher Style :-)

This year, the kiddos shocked us by announcing that they wanted to be Peter Pan and Wendy Darling.

Thankfully, my sewing skills were good enough to make these costumes!

Fleece is such a forgiving fabric and perfect for our chilly, WA Halloweens ;-)

Although Eli wanted Lukey to be a "mini Peter Pan" we bought a lion costume and called him a "Lost Boy"

Alli and Eli loved their costumes ~ Luke, not so much ;-)

They had a blast at our church's Trunk or Treat the Saturday before Halloween.

Both A & E won a yummy cupcake at the cake walk, loved the fishing and the bean bag toss game.

Luke just enjoyed crawling around . . . he was worn out by the end and zonked in the car!

On Halloween, Daddy and Uncle Z took A & E trick or treating around the neighborhood.

Thankfully, the horrible rain let up for the 30 minutes they were out there,

it started back up within 5 minutes of them returning home!

After trick or treating, they decided it was just as much fun to hand out candy.

Lukey LOVED helping me hand out candy and even snagged himself a dum dum sucker.

He was definitely a fan!

Great Halloween and we now have loads of candy, which acts as a great incentive for eating dinner ;-)

Fish Pumpkins 2012

The tradition that we started the year Eli was born continues . . . 

Garrett is so creative and the kiddos LOVE carving their fish pumpkins!

Even Mommy got in on the action this year of cleaning out the pumpkins,

while a handsome little man tried to climb my leg ;-)

This year, Alli and Eli even helped with designing 

(Alli wanted hear eyes and pigtails, Eli wanted square eyes and a mouth like Daddy)

and cleaning out their pumpkins,

though they did complain about the "slime" ~ silly munchkins :-)

Luke wasn't quite sure what to think of the whole ordeal and after watching for a bit while having a snack,

he opted for crawling around the floor (on all fours!) and getting into mischief! 

Such a fun tradition for the G Fisher Fam of five!

Our 'lil Mickey Mouse

This year, Alli requested that she be Minnie and Eli be Mickey for Halloween.

Eli had no opinion and we figured that would be fine.

Turns out, Minnie and Mickey costumes that you buy just are not that cute or are too expensive

so we decided to get creative . . . 

Is this not the cutest Mickey Mouse ever????

Today is costume day for Eli's preschool class (Alli's is on Halloween).

He was very excited to get in the black pants and shirt but fought Kaitlyn and I every.step.of.the.way

when it came to putting on the shorts ~ go figure! 

Gotta love the little tear in his eye ~ he was NOT happy about these shorts but Blue Bunny helped.

Funny thing is that he usually doesn't like the hat but this morning, was more than happy to put it on.

I found the hat at Walmart for $6.  It was a Minnie hat but I removed the hair bow and Minnie insignia and simply hot glue gunned on a little yellow bow tie and presto, Mickey Mouse ears and a way to stay warm!

I feel so crafty ;-)

And our little Mickey Mouse is too cute! 

He decided to practice his Mouse wave.

Seriously, cutest Mickey ever and the whole "costume" cost us a whopping $8! 

I'm hoping he has fun at school today as a little Mickey!

Check back tonight or tomorrow for pictures of Mickey and Minnie together as we have

"Trunk or Treat" at our church this evening.
