Happy Halloween

Our 1st Annual Cousin's Halloween Party was a success! The kids had a ball. Eli was so into the party, especially the decorations. We went to U.S. Toy and cleaned up! Everything had to be just right. We had spiders swimming in our bright green punch. There were rats on our cheese ball and little parts of Mr. Hal O. Ween that needed to be claimed.

Eli helped me put together a story about Mr. Hal O. Ween who disappeared and was never seen again. They did find a few of his remains which where at the party. The guests got to feel what was found...




Here the party goers are listening to the story of Mr. Hal O. Ween and how he disappeared. You can see the fear and shock in their eyes....





Eli was brave enough to feel Mr. Ween's brain. Mom got him good. Since he helped me plan the story he knew what all the parts were. I switched the brain on him and didn't let him know. He was expecting to feel noodles for the brain, but got scrambled eggs instead. You can kind of see the shock in his eyes and his wrinkled nose.





We also bobbed for donuts. The kids had to eat their donut without their hands. That was fun and messy. They were laughing and having so much fun.





Cousin's Grace and Sophia are sharing a donut.




Tatum decided to lick her donut, trying to bite it was too much work.





On Halloween night we went Trick or Treating with our friends Christie and Tyler. We did break out the Ranger again this year. That is the best way to get around after all. Why burn off the extra calories from the candy by walking when you can ride in style?






Tatum was a bumble bee.





Eli was Spiderman.







We can't forget about Evan Patrick. He was a little monster. He needs to work on his scary face just a little!
