Halloween Fun!

What a day it was. It started super early for the boys and I since I had signed up to can applesauce at the cannery. I dropped Daxton at his friends house who he could get on the bus with, and dropped Grady off at the Bradley's. I spent the next 4 hours either in traffic or cutting rotten parts off of apples (good thing I'm past that nauseous part of pregnancy). I left canning early to get to Grady's joy school halloween program. They got in their costumes, then sang some spooky songs for the mom's, and then we all ate cookies.






Grady was very excited when I told him that we had to rush home to get ready for another halloween party. My friend Jamie and I decided that since the Chandler School district wouldn't allow our kids to celebrate halloween at school then we would have a halloween party of our own. We invited some families in our neighborhood that have smaller kids. We assigned out games and food so it wasn't us doing all the work. It turned out to be really fun. My activity was making Frankenstein heads out of jello cups.

The kids also played pin the tail on the cat and had their faces painted. Jamie's husband Jason came home from work a little early so he could take the kids on a hay ride (minus the hay). It was a great party, but there was no time to rest... we had to get dinner before it was trick-or-treating time.

The boys and I made Mummy pizzas for dinner. It was so easy and fun. See how much they loved them!

It was a major rush to get the boys out the door to trick-or-treat. Brandon got home late and by the time he arrived there was no time for pre-trick-or-treating pictures. They both looked adorable in their costumes as they walked down the street with their dad in tow.
