And Finally...Halloween Day

Maybe it's too late to be blogging about Halloween still, but I wanted to add it anyway. The day started at Derek's school where they had a cute little parade. The parents sit in the gym and all the classes walk by on stage. It's fun to see all the cute and clever costumes. Later in the day I was able to help out with Derek's class party. I made a cute Halloween Bingo game. The kids split up into four groups and man, that was hard keeping my enthusiasm up for a whole hour. "Mummy, anyone have the mummy...any winners yet?"

After school I took some pictures of the kids outside. Here are my favorites:

We ate a pumpkin-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's for dinner and then waited for Daddy to come home from work. We are always a little late getting out the door. It tortures me and the kids! Dave happened to work late that night, so we started with our apartment complex neighbors to stall the kids. Just as I was about to leave Dave, he pulled up and went straight on to trick or treating. Poor Dave. No breaks. I really enjoyed it this year. We were out for about an hour and the kids walked the whole time. It's amazing how they suddenly have energy to walk on their own when candy is involved. Here's Taylor and his loot. They did what all kids do after getting their free candy...dump it out and check out the goods.

McKenna trying her best for some of the sugar.

It was a crazy day...like all Halloweens are. It's a non-stop day, but the kids look forward to it and it's fun to be a part of it. Now on to Christmas!! :)
