Class Halloween Party

Karen and I were in charge of Rachel and Gavin's school Halloween Party. The kids had tons of fun playing games, making these darling "BOO" signs and eating lots of healthy goodies - oranges, apples, grapes, cheese and crackers.


These "BOO" signs were so simple to make. Karen and I spray painted the wood before hand. The kids then Modge Podged the scrapbook paper and cut outs of words and spiders onto the wood. The kids were so proud of their finished project and Karen and I were pleased it went over so well.

Happy Halloween

Despite the rainy weather, the girls managed to get some trick-or-treating in. They were a little soaked, but they are kids and enjoyed every minute of the thrill. Rachel went with Aunt Aly and Madyson to the Down Town Alliance Trick or Treat. Becca waited at home with mom, helping me to get cookies made and projects completed.

Rachel was a Beautiful Butterfly and Becca was a Candy-corn Queen(an idea all her own). They both looked cute and warm!





This year the boys weren't really into the Halloween thing. They didn't carve pumpkins and I didn't allow them to trick or treat. Don set up the movie projector in the garage and the boys and their friends wandered in and out while drinking homemade rootbeer and eating pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. We had How to Train Your Dragon going on the big screen, which attracted lots of little trick-or-treaters.


All in all it was a good Halloween!
