Shouldn't kids sleep in after all that sugar.


Mine didn't. They've been up for way to long and it's still dark outside. We had a great Halloween week. Last week we kicked if off with Trunk or Treat at the church. The trunks of cars were decorated so creative. The kids picked out their pumpkin and carved it on Tuesday. Christopher had a party for cub scouts on Thursday and they had a contest for the best carved pumpkin.  Christopher's won for happiest. (on the right)

Thursday was Madelyn's party at school.  They had a parade, sang to the parents and made these "bootiful" frames.


Friday, Garrett had his story book parade a school.  He is the Joker.  Madelyn also had a party at her church teacher's house.  She decorated cupcakes and ate pizza.  

That night we went trick or treating and got enough candy to last the rest of our lives.  Madelyn was a princess, Christopher the Dark Knight and our scary Joker, Garrett.  After trick or treating, the neighborhood had a block party.  The kids made a spider web out of yarn that was pretty cool.  Everyone stands in a circle and you pass the yarn back and forth, holding onto a piece before you throw it.  


Now, that it's over....what should I do with all this candy??

Halloween is definitely not a one day event! I do love it, though! I get so happy thinking about all the cute kiddies in their costumes looking so stinkin' cute! Your Joker music is creepy, though. That movie made my skin crawl!

Bill will take care of all of our candy! Just add another notch to his belt if he gains too much more!
