Halloween 2011

We had a great Halloween!  Kelly and some other friends organized a progressive Halloween Party.  It was a blast!  I think there were 10 families that participated, and we went to 5 different houses.  We decorated pumpkins, cupcakes, played pin the eye on the monster, ghost bowling, bean bag toss, made chocolate covered pretzels and caramel apples, ate doughnuts from a string, had a sensory station with things like dragon snot and eyeballs, and Kelly took pictures of all the kids (you can see most of them here)


After the halloween party we went trick-or-treating with Nate & Kelly.  The boys had a blast together.  Calin LOVED it this year!  He was doing really well going from house to house without eating his candy until Jordan opened a box of nerds for him.  He was done after that and just wanted to eat his candy. 
In the picture on the right Calin is sharing his candy with me :)  I asked him if I could have a piece (expecting him to say no) and he searched his bag and pulled out a kitkat (my favorite).  Even though he took it right back, it was still pretty sweet!

I thought this Halloween was going to be a flop.  I didn't decorate, and I didn't even start Capri's pumpkin costume till a couple days before Halloween.  But despite my lack of preparation we had tons of fun, and even made some caramel apples that night (which turned out WAY better than last years!!)

Cute costumes on those kids. That is great that you and Jordan even dress up too. Glad Calin had a good time Trick or Treating with Dallin and Tanner! Glad your Caramel Apples turned out too :)
