Oh man, did I miss the carving of the pumpkin, and the other pre-halloween pictures of what we did?
Well, then here they are, just catch up where you can :)
We had a Halloween playdate at our house with all the LITTLE ones. They made things out of dough which we then microwaved, and they hardened up so they could color them with markers. They also made candy necklaces, and cute little treat bags made from Halloween socks--CUTE!
Then we ate "Mummy Dogs" and Cheetos, and had chocolate frosting brownies for dessert--Caitlyn obviously loved them!!
The girls were very hesitant about getting down and dirty, until Caitlyn decided she wanted to try, then they were all-for-it (mostly).
The Final Results--Ooooooooo, way cool!
The next day was class parties. I went to Haley's in the morning and Meghan's in the afternoon. However I didn't have my camera for Meghan's (but they were almost identical). No sugary treets at these parties, the school has a rule that they can only have 2 holidays with sweets, and I think it is Christmas and the end of the year parties. Maybe that's why Haley looks so sad :( Or maybe it's the fact that she sits at a table with 3 boys (nah, she loves that--a little tomboy--sort of)
That evening we hit the mall 1st, because they do a trick-or-treat thing for each store. If you couldn't tell, Sadie is a Princess (although, she had said she wanted to wear a different dress that has wings that attach to the back so she could be a butterfly--which I brought with us, but at the last minute she changed her mind), Meghan is a Fruit Bat and she helped make her own costume, she also had some ears that she made, but that day was Crazy Hair Day at school, so she figured that her hair kinda looked like ears, and Haley is --yes-- a cheerleader (I've decided that this look just comes naturally to her)
After the Mall, we headed to our church for a Trunk-or-Treat and roast your own hotdog meal. It was lots of Fun!
Oh, and we had an additional trick-or-treater--our little Caitlyn Bumblebee. She was the 1st one who actually enjoyed wearing this costume. She even wanted to put it back on after I took it off. My other girls couldn't wait to take it off when they were this age.
2 wonderful thoughts:
Boy those kids look just like my grandchildren. Oh, THEY ARE!!!! No wonder they're so cute! Thanks for the pictures. Looks like lots of fun.
Hey Tara's baby was a bumble bee too. I had to laugh when I was looking at the pumpkin carving pics. When my kids were little they would gag when they put their arm into a pumpkin... I guess they couldn't take all the slime. You can only imagine what fun Ed had with that one! Well, Tara said the other day that all her kids gagged when they put their arms in the pumpkins to hollow them out, I guess it got passed on. I loved seeing the kids all dressed up in their costumes. Fun Post.
