Right after vacation, we jumped right in with decorating popcorn balls and baking cookies- yummy! Sunday the 26th, we went to a costume birthday party for our neighbors cute little Pirate! Then that afternoon, we went to our neighborhood "Halloween Extravaganza" where they had games for the kids to play for prizes- Daniel did a mean "limbo"! They also had a chili cookoff, hotdogs and pumpking carving. It was a fun little carnival!
We had Daniel's normal Wednesday tumbling class and then on Thursday I finally made it around to start the pumpkin carving- I was determined to do it this year!! On Friday morning, we were invited to a Halloween Party Play Day at a neighbors house. They played games, had snacks and had a great time! We tried to get a few of the older kids to play "Pass the Pumpkin"....well, it was passed around once and they exclaimed "Can I have my candy now?" and they were done with the game...it was a nice try though! There was a hunt for candy that was crazy fun for the kids!!
Then on Friday night, we tagged along with some neighbors and their kids as we made our way trick or treating down our street. Daniel did very good with the "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you" (although he could have been a little louder). At one point, I asked if he was ready to go home and he said "No, I have to get more candy for Daddy"- how sweet was that?? The candy stash was a little heavy so I had to provide some assistance there! Arianna just took it all in and was content to follow her big brother around! We finally made it back around to our house and "Batman" wanted to help pass out candy. I really think he enjoyed that more than the trick or treating! At one point, there were kids on the other side of the street and he yelled "Candy over here" to get their attention- it was really cute! Once the candy was gone, we were done and got to go to dinner!
Then on Saturday the 1st, we went to a Halloween party at the Little Gym. They had a really good turnout for his age group! They had games set up where they could win prizes and they could also play on some of the gym stations. There were a few games during the night as well. He really enjoyed himself and it was fun to watch! We replenished with some snacks and a few pictures. As soon as the party was over, he declared "Halloween is over" and wanted his costume off!! It was a busy week, but we had a great time!!
Here are a few pictures- hope you enjoy!!
(Oh and if you are confused on what costume he wore this year...well, that's because there were 3! We had his Batman costume from last year and this year we added a Star Wars Jedi and Incredibles "Dash". Mom found the costumes cheap and couldn't resist! We'll get a lot of play time out of them anyway!)
