The past few days have been so much fun. I really do love Halloween. On Thursday, we met at my friend Eva's for Joy School where we had a very creative Halloween party. They did crafts, ate spooky food and played some awesome Halloween games.
On Friday, we went to the Treehouse's "Enchanted Woods" where the girls went on a hunt for the "Golden Rose" and got treats along the way. Charlotte was a little too young for the performances and didn't understand the "keep your treat in your bag" rule, but we survived.
Right before we walked in, Hazel had a mini meltdown and took a minute to calm down.
We got a better belly shot that night too. Ellie is getting so big! I have five weeks to go...
And on Saturday, we had games and dinner at our house with David's parents and some friends of ours--Andrea and Emmy Bell and our awesome neighbors, the Taylor's.
(The Taylor's came later, so these first pics are just with the Bell's)
My mother-in-law brought some GREAT Halloween games like blowing spiders, a Halloween memory game, Monster Freeze, and a pumpkin card game where each card tells you something to do like "make a scary face." So fun.
Once the Taylor's arrived, we played Wrap the Mummy, which was my favorite game of the night. We paired up and had to race to wrap our partner in toilet paper. It was hilarious to see how the kids thought to wrap their adult (like my daughter, who went for the face first).
And then it was time to trick-or-treat in the rain!
(they're acting like bugs)
This year we were all bugs, but David--who was a flower. And before you think I'm too terrible of a wife to make him dress up as a flower, you have to know that he chose that same costume to be funny when we were engaged and actually painted his legs green (I couldn't get him to do that again this year). So I knew he had it in him already.
He got the most compliments out of all of us.
Gram and Papa Kevin were weeds!
