Halloween!!!

We went a little crazy this year with Halloween. Was it a lot of work? Yes, and as I sit here in bed, I am exhausted and feel comforted that it is November. But, it was absolutely worth it. We had a lot of fun that's for sure. We threw a party for Emi's friends, Maddie's friends and our friends. And, did a few patches here and there, parades, trick or treating.... here we goooooo:

 Emilie's party was a blast. We had it in the morning, and I think it was perfect for their age and they were super energetic! We played eat the donut for the three parties, and it was fun for all of them...

 This was a super fun game- the moms had to make their kids into mummies the fastest...

 Make the biggest spider web you can!

 Oh my. I cheated. They were THAT good.

 Hayley's super cute idea last year that I copied.

 Pin the bowtie on Mr. Bones.

 One of our walls.

 See one of them missing?

 We had a movie/game night for Maddie's party with dinner. Yes, it was loud.

 But fun!

 This was very funny to watch.

 They did their own pumpkins this year!! And, roasted the seeds too, which are so addicting!

 Just hangin' around. Too adorable to pass up.

 Emilie was really the perfect Rapunzel... her coloring is perfect for this costume!

 Super excited and happy in her parade!

 Maddie's class of super scary/fairy princess/action hero etc.

 Maddie was a FairyTale Princess- inspired from the Barbie movies. This is as close as we could get it!

And, Sebastian as the spider :)

 We went trick O Treat'n with our neighborhood pals. It was super fun, and the kids has a blast going through the "spooky" house at the end.

 Steve went all out this year with his displays- he bought a projection light show for the pumpkins that sing to five different songs. Super super awesome.

 And of course, the Zombie party! This was a blast... lots of great food, the costumes were awesome, and of course dancing.

 Draw a zombie picture on your head without looking...

 Silly games...

 The last party goers... dancing until midnight.

We are beat! Halloween was a huge success! Can't wait until next year!

Madeleine's reading award

The first graders had an assembly where the teachers awarded some of the kids for their strengths so far during the year. Madeleine was chosen as the top reader in her class, as we are so proud!

Now, we just need to keep on peaking her interest... need to get good books!
