We enjoyed lots of Halloween festivities, starting with
Caden's preschool party. Halloween doesn't take place on one day anymore...it DRAGS on and I find myself up late a few nights during the Halloween week making goodies, filling treat bags, and finishing final touches on costumes. Anyway,
Cade showed some talent by eating a sucker + singing to the crowd of parents during the preschool's performance of spooky songs and he made a super cute Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, the red one named Rafael, of course. He has some great ninja moves too...didn't get those on camera though.
Next was
Jace's Kindergarten Harvest Festival...here he is enjoying the classic "donut on a rope" game. Again, takes some talent. I had fun volunteering and meeting MANY Kindergartners. It's a huge class for Royal, over 150 of them!!!
The Halloween party in Room 111 was a hit, everyone totally out did themselves with treat bags, cookies, goodies, and fun...and so did I with
Jace's face paint that morning! Yikes! He only made it to lunch then wanted Mrs. Stewart to wash it off. This rookie mom has now learned...#1 paint your kid's face just "minutes" before the party and not 7 hours before it starts #2 buy the paint that dries and is not shiny, oily or wet #3 go for a more "subtle" child skeleton look, instead of Gene Simmons from Kiss...
On Saturday, we enjoyed a fun afternoon at Pa and Grandma's for Papa's birthday party. Great food + great company= great fun. Here's a few of the cousins posing with Pa before heading out to trick-or-treat.
Maddie, our witch in a tutu, posing with cousin Kylie who was the cutest, cuddliest teddy bear ever! We all enjoyed a break at
Nany and Ba's after trick-or-treating. We made it to 6 houses in 3 hours...more visiting than treating goes on in our neck of the woods. It's a great time to catch up with family and friends :)
And finally, our three little spooks... Happy Halloween!!!

Sweet, sweet pictures.
I am newly reminded of how much I hate the cords all around my t.v. downstairs. Good thing you ended with your cute kids, put me in a better mood!!
Your kids were so cute! I also have to say that their excitement for the holiday made it way more fun for all of us. I will never forget the little girls dancing and the boys throwing the skeletons. Happy Halloween 2009!
Looks like a fun Halloween!! Katie -- thank you soo much for the gift you sent! I am crazy about it! Did you make the bib and burp cloth?? VERY cute and the CD is a favorite of mine and Hazel Jane's! Hope Maddie is feeling better. Love, M
