Halloween 2011

It's ok that Im posting about Halloween the week of Thanksgiving, right? Of course, were all so busy!!

Saturday, we participated in our church's fall festival.

I tried to replicate Disney's Pirate make up!

Shane and I worked the Iron Bowl Toss.

The kids tried to ring the ball in the hole on whichever side they were a fan of.

Shane picked up most of the balls all afternoon and was pretty sore the next few days! Bless him!

After the festival, Caden went home with his friend and we finally got to go and see this movie! I was so ready because I waited a while to see it so that Shane and I could see it together. Julie and David joined us for the movie and we all loved it! It is so wonderful and I cried so hard!!

Sunday, after a birthday party, we came home and saw Brooklyn dressed as me for Halloween! How sweet?! And Caden was pretty excited about his Wimpy Kid book from Shane!

Kids Halloween Party

Caden didn't want to dress up this time, so he grabbed his clonetrooper helmet and star wars gun.

 

They are showing off their little monsters that they made!

We went trick or treating around the complex afterwards.

Monday night, Halloween, we went to my church as a child's festival. We attend every year. I helped my dad pass out sno cones while Caden jumped and then we were in bed by 8:30 on Halloween and that made me happy!!:)



Class Halloween Party

On Friday, I went to Caden's classroom to join in on the Halloween party fun. His teacher had them each bring one thng to make a "witch's brew". She then told them a silly story and gave each food a silly name, such as bugles being witches fingernails and marshmallows being skeleton's teeth, etc. They then worked together on a graph showing the class's favorites. A couple of other moms and I just sat back and helped pass out the goodies. Every moment this year has been bittersweet knowing that it is our last year in our small town.

Our morning began with a pancake breakfast at Jack's.

Caden was hilarious because there were high school girls dressed up in there and he would make sure that they weren't looking before he smiled at the camera!!

I made green pudding and crushed oreos earlier in the week, then drew faces on clear cups. We passed these out for the class and they thought they were so cool!!



That time again..

Let me start by saying this is my first post from Blogger mobile...and I have no idea how to move the pictures around...this may not even work at all but we will see!

It's that time of year again, where we spend many of our weeks preparing fun things for our classmates. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It is so much fun! This week we made the usual goodies bags from leftover Halloween clearance from the previous year. We got this little happy for our teacher, two mini b&bw Halloween lotions tied together. Made green pudding, crushed up oreos and drew faces on clear cups for...can you guess what other pinterest find? Took tangerines to school for them to draw pumpkin faces on, and lastly, little ghost from stuffing mini marshmallows into clear baggies after drawing faces on them. Another pinterest find. They're all so cute! We can't wait to let all of Mrs. Kimbers children see their goodies!
