Halloween 09'

Ahh, Halloween how do I love thee? Not very much actually. I do love the season and the month of October and putting up all my decorations but then when Halloween rolls around I'm ready for it to be over so we can start November! I love Thanksgiving. This year I went and helped out at Maggie's Halloween Party at school and I brought Lucas and Violet with me. They read a scary story, had a mummy station, a haunted maze, a treat station and a ooey gooey brains and eyeball station where they could dig around for prizes. It was so cute to see all the kids and the teachers dressed up. Lucas was able to join in on all the fun so he thought that was great!

Maggie's student teacher was Patrick from Spongebob, she had a box thing that went over her face, it was classic.


Magg's decided to be a witch for school and it was freezing that day, poor thing, I forgot to bring her jacket so she was so cold when they did their parade! I'm the worst mom!

Violet was pretty good until she noticed the toilet paper at the mummy station.

Lucas even did the parade with them! Too bad I didn't have him dress up.

On Halloween night we tagged along with some friends in our ward to go trick-or-treating, our neighborhood isn't trick-or-treat friendly. We ate pizza and then headed out. I couldn't get Violet to stand with the other kids for a pic so here's Lucas as a skeleton pirate and Maggie as a ballerina.

I told Maggie to pose like a ballerina and so did Lucas!

It was time to head out and where was Violet? Outside in the car which she LOVES....guess what she's getting for Christmas?

Here's our little witch all ready to go!

After a long night of haunted houses and getting lots of loot the kids were ready to go home. Halfway through the night Maggie kept telling me, "Mom I have enough candy, lets go home"

What kids says that on Halloween night?

Not sure how she was still awake at 10:30 at night, too much candy I guess!
