Halloween 2014

We had a great Halloween, even though actual Halloween was basically a blizzard out.  We did a few fun things leading up to Halloween!

First up was Luke & Paige's Halloween Party at school.  It was on a Friday night and there was a DJ, pizza, and ice cream.

We saw some of the girls from Paige's class, who then found their teacher Mrs. Murphy!  She is such a wonderful teacher and seriously didn't mind dancing with the girls all night!



Luke was busy running around like a crazy man with his friends!

We also went to Boo at the Zoo for the second year in a row. This year we went with some friends and on the last day and it was gorgeous out. Needless to say, it was super crowded!

We did discover that our sit 'n stand stroller works for 3 kids :)

Apparently the sun was in their eyes... DSC_0125

A giant pumpkin!

We of course did some pumpkin carving at home!

This is what this guy did while we were carving!

Once again, no one was really excited to dig into their pumpkin. DSC_0135

So Daddy was angry that he had to do all the hard work :) DSC_0137

Love these little pumpkins!

Then they got to dress up at school on Halloween. It was basically a party day since they had a 1/2 day!

And I spent the morning with this cutie!



The preschoolers were supposed to parade outside for the parents before pickup, but it was a rainy, cold, windy day so they paraded inside instead and sang us a couple of songs!







We finally got this little guy in his costume!



As cute as can be!





I have learned it is very difficult to get 3 kids all looking in your general direction with a halfway decent look on their face ;)



Once Daddy got home from school, he took Luke & Paige out trick-or-treating for a bit. I'm not kidding when I say it was a blizzard. The snow was blowing sideways...so sad for the trick-or-treaters. Ty and I stayed in and handed out candy. We then hit the road around 5:00 to head to Grandma & Grandpa's house. They always have a big Halloween party and this year's theme was Star Wars!

It was another fun & successful Halloween!

Trick or Treating

Our town was one of the few who postponed the trick or treating to Friday night due to bad weather.  The only problem with that was that the weather was fine from 4-7 on Halloween night and actually fairly warm.  Wally and I weren't too happy about changing the date and of course Luke wasn't either.  He had been looking forward to it all day!

We decided to put the kids in their costumes anyways and see if our neighbors were home to do at least some trick or treating on Halloween.

After no one answered at the neighbors, they trick or treated at their own house - the cutest trick or treaters I had!

Daddy decided to bring some of his Halloween science demonstrations home with him.

Finally Friday evening came around and our neighborhood was hopping with kids in costumes!

This is how our kids roll for trick or treating!

Luke was out for over 2 hours with Wally but Paige didn't last quite that long. Both kids made out very well!!!!

Halloween Party!

Luke's class Halloween party was a lot of fun this year!

They started off with some dirt and worms!

DSC_0830

Paige was able to have some too!

Then it was time for a couple of art projects!

DSC_0832

These two are buddies!

The class minus 2 - they have had a lot of sick kids lately, but so far we have been able to avoid it!

DSC_0835

The kids got to put their treats in each other's bags.

DSC_0838

This was Luke's treat this year - this is about as creative as I get! Well, actually the idea was from Pinterest, but this is about as far as I go with homemade treats!

The kids sang a few songs for us!

Sibling love!

And last but not least, the kids paraded in the halls for us (it was a very rainy, yucky day!).

Pumpkin Carving

Getting ready to carve!

This year I was a pumpkin :)

I thought for sure Luke would love cleaning the pumpkin out this year, but just like the last 2 years, he wasn't a fan - but he tried!
