We are celebrating Halloween today! Last night we took the kids to Harwood for the Carnival. We ate pizza and nachos (my fav) The kids jumped in a bounce castle and Hailey climbed the rock wall. Hailey also got a pumpkin painted on her face. They played Penny Toss, Halloween Bingo, and Bowling. By then it was time to close shop so that was all the games we did.
Oh! Earlier in the day we took Nathan, dressed up as Scooby Doo, to the school to watch the Halloween Parade. Hailey was Sharpey from High School Musical, but with pink hair. Keigan was dressed up as a race car driver, no surprize there. Keigan is still VERY into cars. He points at cars as we are driving and tells me the make of each car. Is favorite is a Mustang.
Tonight we are going to Rhett's sister Shantelle's house for a Halloween Party. The plans are a Pinata for the kids, then a easter egg like hunt but with Halloween candy, and a Haunted House, and finger food for dinner. I like this idea, but I wish it was not on trick-or-treating night. My kids, especially Hailey wants to do the door to door thing, and is upset that she dosen't get to. I kinda agree. Halloween is known for that. Shantelle thinks that it should now be a family thing, but I think she thinks that because her kids are to old for trick-or-treating, and she has forgotton how much the kids love the running from door to door getting candy. What can I do? I don't want to make her mad at us by not showing up because the kids rather do it the traditonal way. ( or the rest of the family either) So I guess we will go. It will be fun either way.
I am so excited to see that you joined the world of blogging! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about Halloween - I love the traditional trick-or-treating from house to house. Sometimes parties or ward trunk-or-treats seem to get in the way. Our little one is too small to really understand, but hopefully in the future we can do trick-or-treating at houses around 5:30 or so and then go to the other parties. Hope you had fun.
