Party & Trick-or-Treat

I was lucky enough to get away from work for a couple of hours to go to the Halloween party at Punky's today. The kids went on a little walk around the neighborhood to visit some of the retired people and then it was time for some fun and games back at the house.



These are almost all of the kids - yep, all boys! There is just one 3-year old girl missing (at morning pre-school) and Miss Vicky's 18-month old daughter and of course Baby Paige and Punky's Baby Nicholas.




Mummy wrapping Jett!


Luke's turn to be mummy-wrapped!


Buddies! (Jack, Luke, and Jett)


And a little musical chairs!


And one quick story - Luke's friend AJ kept saying "Hey Mom" to me and then telling me something. Finally when they were eating lunch, AJ said "hey mom" again and Luke looked at him and said "that's not your mommy". It was too funny and cute!

My little kitty who just minutes later had a blowout and that was the end of that costume for the day!


I was also lucky enough to leave work a little early today so we could get home and get ready for trick-or-treat! Our town's hours were from 4-8. Wally and Luke headed out around 4:45 for about an hour. Wally said Luke got tired of it and wanted to come home - ha!



Heading out!


Paige did a little bit of this while I handed out candy!




My favorite trick-or-treater of the night!


And just for the record, because a lot of people (ahem, Wally) think that I don't like Halloween, I do like Halloween. I enjoy dressing my kids up and seeing all of the kids come by the house, but I don't see the point in spending a lot of money on a costume that is worn once or twice. I think you can have fun cheaply. I also am not a huge fan of dressing up myself, but I will ALWAYS make sure my kids enjoy Halloween. So this year, just to show that I am not a Halloween dud, I picked up a little something from Wally World. Wally was quite surprised when I came downstairs in my "I'm the good witch" t-shirt and Halloween socks. He was very impressed he said. Now Wally says that he loves Halloween and always says he is going to dress up (at school and when he takes Luke out trick-or-treating), but he never does - so who is the Halloween dud now?!?! LOL Here are some pics to prove that I can and do dress up!

Luckily Paige had one more Halloween outfit hanging in her closet. I had kept thinking it was going to be too small so I never put it on her, but it fit perfectly! I guess she wanted to wear this outfit hence the blowout earlier in the day!
