Halloween parties

I love going to the parade at the school every year. It is so fun to see all the kids and their costumes.

Cowboy Sam

For about a month Jack was very excited to be a RAHHH (lion) for Halloween. Every time we asked him what he was going to be, he said RAHHH! So, here he is in his Simba costume. However, the actual night of Halloween he refused to put it on and would only wear the "wee wee" costume which is code for firetruck or ambulance. But, in this case means fireman costume.

Sam's class party. The witch is telling a story and making a witches brew on the overhead projector. Notice how the kids are looking down at the brew, and Sam is looking straight into the light trying to figure out how it works. That's my Sam!

Again, the whole group is looking at the brew and Sam is now poking the light trying to figure out the darn thing. He is definitely his daddy's boy.

Cheese! I love 1st graders.

Abby was the Queen of Hearts for Halloween. She had such a cute costume..but gets a little stage fright so she left her jacket on. This is her at her party. It was a lot of fun with different stations and activities for the kids. I was in charge of the witches brew game and the kids had so much fun.

Halloween night was a lot of fun. Stephen took the kids for awhile around the neighborhood. Then, I took the kids down to the neighborhood below us. They were so organized! Different homes had different activities going on through out the night. Soup, caramel apples (very yummy!), popcorn, haunted house, cake walk, and games. It was a lot of fun. Abby screamed her head off in the haunted house. I think the whole neighborhood heard her!
All the kids ran out so fast I didn't get any pictures this year. Syd was a Hillbilly complete with overalls, patches, braids, and straw. Max, was, well..just Max. He went down to the other neighborhood to help out with the activities.
