Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone had a great Halloween last night! We have definitely made the most out of the holiday. The girls wore their costumes four days in a row!

Thursday was the start of our festivities. There was a Halloween Bingo at my mom's school and a "Not-So-Scary Halloween Party" for pre-schoolers at the library. So we got the girls dressed up to go. First we had to trick-or-treat Mama.

K was very excited this year since she remembered all the fun and candy from last year. :)

They had a bunch of little games for the kids to do at the library party.

I thought this strawberry costume was so cute!

They had a ring toss, coloring pages, stickers, and some other crafts for the kids to do. K had a great time!

On Friday I got them dressed up again and we went to Daddy's office to trick-or-treat and show off their costumes.

Then on Saturday my friend, Katie, had a harvest party at her house. She painted pumpkins with chalkboard paint so the kids could draw on them. What a cute idea! And perfect for little ones...K was the oldest one there. There were also foam pumpkin kits to make faces and such with.

K loved it! And she loves her princess pumpkin! She has been playing with it this morning. Last I checked she was spinning it around in a twirly chair. :)

She had so much fun at that party. When we got in the car she said, "That was a real good party. I had fun!" And then later on the drive home she kind of sighed and said, "I love E." (the boy in the photo above). :)

Last night, since Halloween is Grandma's birthday, we decided to have an Open House so our friends could stop in and get warm and have some snacks while they were out trick-or-treating. There were so many houses participating in trick-or-treating that we actually didn't see that many people we know. We had over a hundred trick-or-treaters. 108 to be exact...yes we like to count them, my husband is an accountant. :) And when we took the girls out trick-or-treating we saw TONS of kids. I bet we only got a fraction of the kids, since our house is not on Main street.

We all chipped in a bought Grandma a new digital camera for her birthday!

Boo was SO happy last night! She loved her ducky costume I guess. This was K's old costume, and the cow costume was one my mom had bought for a Nativity play at their old church, so we actually didn't have to spend any money on costumes this year. Yay!

We had a chocolate fountain. Yum.

And an octopus swimming in french onion dip.

And some used q-tips.

(white chocolate covered pretzels, marshmallows on the end, dipped in peanut butter)

And some mummies.

And some Frankensteins. Is this not the cutest Halloween decoration you've ever seen?? My friend made these boxes out of paper! SO cute!

And here's our happy little duck again. I love when she is smiling so hard that her eyes are nearly closed. :)

I was so happy that it didn't rain and we got to enjoy some trick-or-treating!

K was a little shy at first and then she started getting bolder. Every time she saw a house with their porch light on she yelled, "That one! That one! Let's trick-or-treat them!"

After we went out for a while we came back and sang Happy Birthday to Grandma.

What a fun night!

Now we'd better start eating candy b/c we've got enough lying around to last us till Christmas!
