H*A*double-L*O*W*double-E*N spells Halloween!

I love Halloween. It's fun for the kids to get dressed up and pretend to be someone else for the day. It's fun to have parties, lots of parties! It's fun to take a break from the norm. Best of all, it's fun to get candy, lots of candy, and eat it til you don't want anymore!
This year with planning two elementary class parties, Halloween was a little crazy! It's a lot of work for me, but the kids seemed to have so much fun that it is worth every minute!


Dressing up for Dance...

Carving pumpkins...



Dressing up for Junior High...

(I'm so glad that the schools allow the kids to dress up. I am even more pleased that Connor wanted to participate. Unfortunately, Wesley is a little too much like his Mom and Dad to get in on the fun.)

Class parties and parades...

(Parker did extremely well, considering we were at the elementary school for most of the day!)

(Frosting cookies. Can you say "Sugar High"?)



Time for Trick or Treating...

(It was sad this year as everyone went their separate ways. Connor went with friends)

(Lauren partied with her friends.)

(Once Brynnley and Brooklyn came by, Halle just couldn't wait anymore and had to go with them.)

(Parker went with his Dad.)

(Braden ran off with his friends.)

(Danielle and Erin were fish tanks.)

(Lexi and Brecken came by for some trick or treating fun.)


Although times have changed and everyone is growing up and going their separate ways, we still had a great Halloween!!!!

I'm sad we didn't even make it trick-or-treating to your house! Or, that I didn't even see your kids dressed up. So I am glad you posted pics of them.

Your kids all look great! Wow you guys carved a lot of pumpkings. It took us a while to just get 1 1/2 done.

Love the Kidd-Rock? costume, I've got to remember that one for Bo next year. Hallie looks darling, Savannah was a witch also. What a great mom you are to do TWO parties for school. You're crazy but great!

Nick and Isabelle took off on their own too, I didn't like it either. You get bonus points for 2school parties!

Your kids looked so cute, it is sad when they want to hang out with their friends instead of you. I thought we were still fun.

We were glad that the Rivers made a treat stop and took shelter while it rained on our porch so that we could talk for a minute. Everyone looked great! And the fish tanks were so creative.
