First up was our Halloween Dinner. We had an assortment of spooky foods which the kids DEVOURED! Seriously, I couldn't believe how much the ate. Owen and Jacob kept going back for more worms and spiders. It was awesome. :) This was the first year I got dry ice, too. We all got a kick out of our smoking cauldron. The boys kept calling it "Halloween Tea" from a song they learned in preschool. Overall, the whole dinner was quite a hit and the kids are already begging to do the same thing again next year.
On Wednesday the boys had their Halloween carnival at preschool. They ate cotton candy, sno cones, popcorn and played all sorts of games and jumped in a bouncer. To say they loved it is an understatement. :)
Wednesday night was our Trunk or Treat at church. The boys traded costumes and the big kids were so exited to dress up!
Halloween afternoon we did our pumpkins. I decided to let the boys paint theirs because I really didn't feel like gutting 4 pumpkins. And they absolutely LOVED painting them! I made a monogram with painters tape but totally didn't take any after photos! :( Same with the big kids. Cailyn made a Minion and Landon made up his own face, but had to add a Harry Potter scar to it. :)
Thursday night was trick or treating. Mom and Grandma & Grandpa Petersen came over for dinner and Mom and I took the kids out trick or treating. Oh man, they were soooo entertaining! What a fun night!!!
In the last pic Woody's hat is floating on his head! Like most of the night trick or treating :) The capes turned out great!! Better than ANYTHING you could buy!! I wish all you guys could see the wands up close!! They look and feel like a hard plastic and totally look like something you would buy in a store!!
ReplyDeleteYou two are awesome! I can't believe you made half the stuff, it looks great! Marie you are one cool mom and I hope I can have as much fun building memories with my kids as you do with yours! What a fun Halloween and all your munchkins looked great and so stinking cute!
ReplyDeleteMan Marie! Can I be one of your kids?? How fun are you? I am so excited to be able to do fun things like this with Mr. Connor. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness your robes turned out amazing and I cannot believe you made those wands! Incredible! Just out of curiosity, how come there are 4 wands for 2 hog warts students?
