our halloween was full with:
haunted house building
monster math figuring
dance class halloween dress-up (ellie is on the left in orange)
one of ellie's close friends. we are so glad she is in dance with ellie!
the halloween party at todd's parents' home.
the pie eating contest is about to begin at jeanette's parents' halloween party.
this is serious stuff.
todd can't help but dig in.
cole, thomas, and ike are in it to win it.
thomas is the victor!
his two oldest, cole & ike, began the competition by pushing their dad's face in his pie. but thomas never lost focus and never took his hands from behind his back- he won fair and square!
the childrens' donut eating contest.
there is only video footage, which i am too embarrassed to post, but let it be known i was the victor of the adult's donut eating contest. todd asked on the way home if it says something about melansons when thomas and i were the ones to win the eating contests. um, yeah, it says we are awesome!
halloween night. getting ready to trick or treat!
my incredible mom made the girls' costumes. i had bought the patterns, wings, and wands last year (before i was pregnant with the boys). it just wasn't going to happen. so my mom stepped in and sewed these fairy dresses- now looking at them, there is no way i could have made them with or without the twins. thanks mom!!!
ben, of course, is obi-wan kenobi ("old ben")
okay, i've gotten some slack about dressing ben as a jedi knight and jake as a droid. r2-d2 was an awesome droid that had wheels, could project a hologram, and had a light saber. (plus we found this shirt at a yard sale for 50 cents)

Nice to see the blog up and running again. Loved the pictures. Let the world know - The Melansons are all awesome! I'm not prejudiced either.
Mom
yes, not prejudice at all... mom. :)
