OR ELSE....


The title of this post is because that's basically the gist of what my Mom said when it was Sunday, the day after Halloween, and I had not posted pictures of Morgan from Halloween yet! So I am doing it pronto, in order to avoid finding out what the end result of the "or else" threat from my Mom might be :)

Halloween for us started at the Mangum's party, it is always so much fun and this year it was a full week before Halloween, so it got us geared up and excited a whole week in advance! There were loads of fun things there, like a pinata and donuts on a string. Morgan and I had to go solo for most of it, because JD was working.
Morgan and I went as Pongo and Cruella DeVille from 101 Dalmatians
Taking her whack at the pinata



Okay, so I felt HORRIBLE playing this game cause I felt like I was just teasing her with the donut! But eventually she got the idea and it was fun...at least I think she had fun!

It was so great because JD had the first Monday night off that he has had in a LONG LONG time so we got to carve pumpkins for family night and it was so much fun to be able to spend a little family time together!



Morgan was just yelling and laughing so hard because of the squishy pumpkin insides!

But then she got down to business!
I love this picture because she was concentrating so hard to paint that little pumpkin :)



JD decided he knew a better way to do this than using our prehistoric tools. He got out the Dremel. (what a man, eh? He's mine ladies...)

And we ended up with pumpkin sawdust!


This folks, is a rarity! An actual documented photograph of my existence!


Our uber-cool pumpkins transformed into jack-o-lanterns!

We went trick or treating with some friends of ours, and Morgan did great! She would say "Trick or Treat" and then she didn't even wait for people to give her candy, she would start grabbing it right out of their bowls! (we tried to squelch -is that even a word?- that behavior, but when everybody thinks it so darn cute its hard to teach her not to do it!) As she walked away she always made sure to say thank you and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!



This last picture is just soooo Morgan.



Yep, that's right, she's eating two suckers at once.

And that my friends, is the only way to end your day after having one very, very, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

So cute and fun!!! I can't believe how big Morgan looks. Hunter said, "Morgan is biggest like me." Love the pics...and I totally understand how you never get any pics of yourself. The guys just never think of it I guess???

Cute Pictures. Looks like you guys had a fun Halloween. I love JD's Idea for carving pumpkins:) Maybe if I had tried it his way I wouldn't have gotten so upset and cried. I suck at it.

The picture of Morgan reaching for that doughnut is the best. The look on her face. . .it's like she found the holy grail or something.
I also am glad to see some of you on the blog.
Finally, now you know how all her suckers got eaten before you could snag one last night.
