Halloween
Thursday October 25th Matthew had cub scouts. All the kids dressed in their costumes, they went around to each room where they played games & received candy. They even had a donut eating contest. Matt did good but didn't win. Natalie, little baby girl took one bite and could barely chew it. They had a good time, it was nice. We like this new pack, they do so much more for the kids. Friday night we had a halloween party. The kids each invited their friends from soccer & school. The house was packed, I made tons of food & we decorated the house. We started with the kids making mummys with craft sticks, muslim & glue dots. It was harder than it looked but fun. Next it was time to eat. I made mummy dogs, english mummies, rice krispy treats, party mix, dirt pudding that looked like a graveyard & we had punch (it was green & I put it in a cauldron). After everyone ate I lined up the kids and had them play a ball toss. Everyone had a great time, I think Matthew & Natalie enjoyed themselves.
Natalie goes to dance on Monday's, ballet & tap. She wore her costume to class and posed with a friend. Tuesday night I took the kids to Chick-fil-a where they were having a halloween celebration. My brother was dressed as a shark eating a diver. They had a costume contest, face paintings, balloon lady & free food for the kids. It was a great time!
Wednesday night we took the kids trick or treating with some friends of ours. All the kids are friends and it was much more fun going in a group. A few of my friends dressed up too, they looked so cute. The kids got tons of candy and it was a great night. Mostly it was great because Jeremy was able to get off work to meet us. We didn't think he would. Every year goes by so quick so I try to really treasure this time, while they are little. I love the kids so much! I'm so lucky to have such beautiful, smart children. We have a wonderful family, the four of us. I love them all so much.
