Halloween Fun!

Lunch Time Fun
The kids and I enjoyed making and eating yummy caramel apples. As you can see Addison's has pink Nerds, Alex's was M&Ms and Adam's had Reese Pieces.

Mummy & Friends Dinner
Tonight we dined on Mummies (Angus dogs & roll dough) with witches, ghosts, pumpkins & bats (potatoes). The kids had a fun time using cookie cutters on potatoes. They really had to use their muscles:) For our last course we enjoyed a worm infested grave yard with ghosts (pudding, crushed Oreos & meringue) .

Halloween Surprises!
We enjoyed a few good surprises today!! Alex has really enjoyed getting into costumes this week! I have been surprised by this because he hates being in clothes :) He doesn't tend to stay in the outfits very long, but he takes advantage of every moment. Yesterday we were watching the Gator play football and he dug out the costume to wear. After church today he wanted to be a gator again and he added his Dad's tie. He had it on backwards, but I switched and tighten it for the photo. Dad surprised the kids tonight and took them Trick or Treating to a few houses. Adam has a friend at Intel that lives close to us and he took the kids to his home as well as a few neighbors. Our finale surprise of the evening came right at bed time. We sent the kids upstairs to get in their pj's and brush their teeth. We heard crying upstairs and realized in was Adam. He came down stairs and his mouth was bleeding! He was loosing a tooth, but he was very adamant that he wanted to wait for it to fall out while eating rather than having Dad help pull it out. After he calmed down a little bit though and let Dad take a look his tooth came out. He was very excited that he lost his tooth on Halloween and has a good photo to commemorate the occasion:)

Our Festive Yard
We always enjoy decorating our yard for the holidays. The kids pumpkins were AWESOME! I love Lil Adam's masterpiece. The disco ball and fog machine are always a big hit. We kept our lights on until 8:30 tonight, I stopped the moment an adult woman with her teens had her own bag for treats!! I always enjoy seeing the neighborhood little ones dressed up though, so much fun for me :)

Bedtime Treats
After the kids came home we enjoyed one piece of candy along with dry ice and root beer (diet of course) ! Each of the kids enjoyed playing with the dry ice, that has become a fun tradition for our little ones. Adam has been learning about liquids, gases & solids in science so Dad explained that the dry ice going from a solid to a gas is called a phase change.
Happy Halloween!!!!
