C and Bhakti Simpkin Jackie O' Kitten pumpkin prep scooping out his pumpkin for the trick or treaters L to R - L's pumpkin, C's pumpkin and K's pumpkin Halloween 2016
I do so love that beautiful autumn glow that appears at the end of October. It is so warm and clear. Truly one of my favorite times to carry around my camera. I think I am going to let the photographs do the talking since I am still recovering from our crazy week. Oh but I should say a little something about L's Halloween costume - no, he wasn't miserable like he looks in the photograph. He wanted to be a snowman and when he saw this snowman costume (which is from the movie Frozen) he decided it was perfect.  He called himself the little funny snowman. But when we went trick or treating everyone called him Olaf and quoted the movie Frozen to him. He had no clue what they were talking about and got very frustrated that they didn't realize he was a snowman. Oops. We won't make that mistake again! The girls also thought it was funny that everyone was trying to say they were Disney princesses. K was a Greek goddess and C was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Note to self for next year - Halloween is now sponsored by Disney. Ha!

p.s. - Their pumpkin hats can be found on rav here and Little L's TAMA sweater can be found here.

I could tell right way who the girls were supposed to be AND I have no idea about the movie, Frozen. :-)

yay! so we aren't the only ones!
Their hats are adorable! Also, I always thought Dorothy was recognizable so I'm really surprised she was mistaken, but you're right about Disney and Halloween. When I was making my youngest son's Pinocchio costume I ended up going with a Disney inspired version rather than a classic just so he'd be identified correctly.

Isn't that funny? It is Disney or nothing these days.
Such great photos of a beautiful family! All the pumpkin hats are just too precious. Hmmm... poor Olaf. Yes, probably wise to avoid branded costumes if you're not into. We had a somewhat similar issue with our Bridget, who was a dalmatian puppy this year (to accompany our 3-year-old fire fighter) -- she kept getting called Marshall (from Paw Patrol, which we are vaguely aware of but don't watch). Very confusing for our kids!

Thank you! Aw that must have been so cute. I love the idea of a firefighter with his dalmatian. We would have know what she was <3
Autumn light, precious babes and hand knits...it doesn't get more beautiful. Lovely, lovely photos

I'm a Waldorf grad and mama to 4 Waldorf students. I knew who your children were dressed up as ( and didn't know who Olaf was :) !!

ha! We just needed to come to your house.
Your family is so beautiful! I always enjoy your photos and your knitting too!
I knew who the girls were. I didn't know who Olaf was...to me he looks like a snowman!

K is looking like such a beautiful young lady! The long skirt looks really pretty on her.

Ah, thank you. She loves long skirts right now.
I'm intrigued with the halloween bag for candy, is that knitted or felted or something different altogether? Its hard to find a right sized basket not too big for children hands and what i've seen around is plastic. I usually take one of my knitting baskets and dress as a witch but thats not working now (the basket or the witch!!!)

Oh which one? K's was sewn, C's was knit then felted and L's was bought.
Arh, it was the orange one. It is so striking that i didn't see the other bags in the photo! Do you have a link for a pattern at all?
