Halloween continued..........

Our church does an annual Trunk or Treat in the church parking lot. They play music, serve donuts and hot chocolate, and everyone tricks out their trunks. Then the kids run amuck and you don't even have to worry about it because they're totally safe!

Good times!

Taylor was "Sherlock Holmes"

after the trunk or treat, we went over to my parents house to show off our costumes. The girls wanted to trick or treat around their neighborhood so we started walking. We walked FOREVER! I couldn't believe it, they were die hards! and I think I deserve a medal for trekking 5 blocks in leopard ballet flats!

Ali said this was the best Halloween she's ever had, and Megan totally agreed with her. (the first time they've agreed on anything in months) so I think It was worth it.

by the way, Day 3 No TV........easy for the girls. Hard for me....

I bought a bunch of paints for the girls to do crafts with.. Megan LOVES painting and that kept her busy for a good portion of the day.

I had a hard time not flipping it on while she was painting!

Halloween Party

Our Halloween party was a total Success!
the Kids had so much fun, and the house is TRASHED!

I guess that's proof!

First we painted pumpkins.

Taylor put up a great big tarp over the patio to keep out the rain and cold. It worked beautifully. The Decorations were perfect.
After pumpkins we played the "mummy game" which consists of wrapping your partner up with an entire roll of toilet paper. remember that scene in "Grease" where they are at the dance and they tip that big hat full of toilet paper? It was like that.. Toilet paper EVERYWHERE!

then we decorated cupcakes....

after that all 20-25 kids ran amuck...
I think it will take another week to clean it all up..
