Halloween Week

I like Halloween it's just fun. It's fun to dress up and fun to eat junk food. We started out this week by carving our pumpkins. Every thing went nice a smooth. Happy kids.

On Thursday and Friday was my preschool parties. Both days I dressed up as Little Red Riding hood b/c I didn't think that the kids would really know who Olive Oil was. There were only a few kids that knew who Little Red was. I think I will be reading that story in the near future. All the kids came dressed up and we played fun games like toss the goblin and don't eat the spook. The kids had the best time when we made a witch's brew with ghost toes (marshmallows) skeleton teeth (dried pineapple) lizard skin, (Frito's) bat eyes (m&m's) well you get the picture.

Friday afternoon was Lilly's school party. I was a little sad to find out that the kids don't come in costume to school. I can totally understand why, but I was just bummed. The kids had a great time at the party with the games and food. For my contribution to the party I made worms in dirt. I made them in the little Jello pudding cups just to be easy. I found out that it is not that easy to pull 25 tops of at one time. Maybe it was just me, but my fingers were slipping or maybe it is just b/c I'm thumb challenged.

Next up was our ward Trunk or Treat. Here we are before we are headed out the door.

This one is taken while we were getting some loot. On Halloween we decide that we would hang out with the cousins and trick or treat with them and go to their block party. But first we had to go their Fall Festival where Lilly and Max enjoyed games, prizes, popcorn and snow cones.

I was happy to find out that all of the cousins were there. Jack met up with us and we went trick or treating with him too. Yes, we had a great time and yes, we have all had enough candy and treats but we are already talking about what we want to do next year.
