Halloween Festivities

 

This year,

Halloween

was extra fun.

We had a week of festivities

that kept us running,

laughing

and on a perpetual sugar high!

 

We were invited to Magdalynn's

(aka Adventure Buddy)

neighborhood Halloween party.

The girls have never been

trick-or-treating

door to door like this before

so it was a whole new scene for them.

They (of course) loved it!

 

 

 

 

The next day was our CC

Crazy hair day and PJ day.

This is the girls favorite day of the school year!

Who doesn't love schooling in their PJ's?!

Addie loved the "crazy hair"

but Crista was completely opposed to it

this year.

 

 

Since I'm tutoring this year,

I got to wear my PJ's too!

 

 

 Here's most of the kids in our CC Community.

We decided to have a combined class

outdoors this week.

The weather was awesome

and it was a fun day anyways.

A little change up from the routine.

I think we all loved it! 

 



 

 

Here's my awesome class.

Since it was the week of Halloween

we played an extra fun review game.

For every question they answered correctly

they drew a card.

If the card had a mustache on it they had

to put on a mustache.

If the card had a hat on it,

they got to choose one item from the dress up box

for me to wear.

The kids loved it

and as you can tell,

I have a very bright class!

 

 

On Halloween,

we invited Mags and her family over

for some fun.

We love hanging out with this family!

They brought pumpkins over

and Bob patiently helped each girl carve

her pumpkin.

 

 

Our big girls love a gooey mess!

Ta-Da!

The end result.

Looks pretty awesome all lit up too!

 

 

While Bob was entertaining the kids,

Jake, Sarah and I were working

on our trunk for our church's

trunk-or-treat.

The church needed more trunks

but I'm always torn.

My kids are still very much into

trick-or-treating

and manning a trunk

takes me away from watching them

enjoy their night.

So we decided to do a

"self-serve"

gas station theme.

We could hand out candy for part of the night

but when we wanted to walk around with the kids,

we were able to do that too!

It was the best of both worlds :-)

Didn't Jake do a wonderful job on the gas pump?!

 

 

The girls,

dressed for the occasion...

again!

We did the church's trunk-or-treat

for a while

and then we headed into town

to knock on doors.

We had the best time

and I'm so grateful that God sent

this sweet family into our lives

to share these fun moments with!
