HALLOWEEN!

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching.., I need to get this post in!

We LOVE Halloween!  It's such a fun time of year!  We were crazy busy trying to get in all in.  We went to Gardner Village to see their witches display.  We do that every year, but we've never taken a  hay ride to the witches houses before and let me tel you.., this it s must!  The kids LOVED it. 

 This is Mildew Rose, one of the witches and also my old college roomie.  I love her!  She's hysterical and the kids about feel over when she started calling them by name!  Maya kept saying.., 'mom, she must be a witch cause she knows our names.'  Way to freak out the kids!

 

 Please notice the 'SASS' of my daughter in these photos.  I can't seem to get a photo these days with out her posing

 She cracks me up!  Both kiddos picked out their costumes early on and there was no deviated from their plans.  Maya was also insisted that not only would she be 'Ariel in the fish costume and not the princess costume'.., but she also HAD to have the red wig as well. 

 Witches broom sticks and witches hats

 Rice krispie Frankensteins

 The Rod's were Fred and Daphene

 We had the best turn out for donut on a string game.

 We had a balance beam over scary Halloween things like spiders, bats and snakes.

 Can you imagine teaching this group of hoodlums in primary???

 Dean and Tiffany

 The Bishops.  Scott's costume was hysterical!  I'm adamant that adults dress up and so he did! Loved it!

 The O fam in full costume.  Maya wanted us to go all out..., make up and all.., so why not?!?!

 Ang and Hunter (Diego)

 The Larsen's.  I couldn't stop laughing at them all night.

There were Halloween books to flip through in the corner.  Halloween coloring pages to to color in one section.  A Halloween movie on the TV and the night ended with a Halloween pinata.  The kids had parties at school as well.  We went to trunk or treat at the church on the actual day of Halloween.  And when November hit.., boy were we tired!!!!  Can't wait for Turkey Day!!!
