Happy Halloween!!!

Friday night was our family Halloween party. We missed those of you that were not able to make it. We had lots of fun and had some special guests. There was Minnie Mouse.


And Belle. (Claire told us for a couple of weeks that she was going to be a butterfly - but at the last minute she said that her mom decided she was going to be Belle)


Blake was a frog. He actually liked his costume this time around.


One of Santa's special elves showed up.


As did one mad cow.


Mason had the scairiest costume. He did cause Belle to cry just a little bit.


The most decorated family.

After a pizza dinner we started games. The first one you were suppose to pitch pennies into the little pumpkins. As Mason said, "It was too hard"! Next time we will have to have bigger pumpkins.

For the next game we tied little donuts on a string and tied them to a pole. The object was to eat the donut without using your hands, Blake had a hard time not cheating and using his hands. But he did like the donut.

Jill opened up real wide for this game. Ashleigh just swooped hers up like a great big frog before we even got pictures.

Mason thought this game was much more fun that pitching pennies.

This was a mouse racing game. You had to push your mouse across the kitchen floor with your nose.


Ashleigh and Jill won this game also.

There were a lot of really cool prizes.


It is probably chocolate but Blake sort of looks like he ate his mouse!

Afterwards the parents left and the kids had spooky stories and a sleepover. It was Claire's very first sleepover with friends (cousins) She was so excited she had a hard time getting to sleep.

Blake and Mason trying to go to sleep.

In the morning we had pancakes. Blake chose a ghost. Notice the scairy blue eyes.

Mason and Claire chose pumpkins. Probably because they held more m& m's.

Everyone had an UDDERLY good time!
