Halloween was a lot of fun this year. Kate dressed up as Tinkerbell and Jack was a little monster. Leading up to Halloween, we had a number of fun activities to get us excited for the big day. Kate spent the day on Wednesday with Grandma Cecile and got to make Halloween cupcakes. Then we got to attend the Halloween Carnival at Tahoma High School that night where Kate played lots of games and got some candy. My mom and dad flew in from Colorado the following day and on Friday they joined Kate's class for their field trip to the pumpkin patch and had a wonderful time. Saturday we all went to Pacific Science Center to view the Harry Potter exhibit. It was very cool but both kids got a little scared from some of it! On Halloween morning we went to visit our friends, the Schufreiders, for their annual pumpkin carving party. I carved bats on Kate's pumpkin and a goblin on Jack's. Then Kate's good friend Noah (Buzz Lightyear) and his parents came over to our house for a yummy pizza dinner and afterward we hit the streets for some trick-or-treating. Our new neighborhood really goes all out for Halloween. Tons of decorations and lots and lots of trick-or-treaters. It was really fun to see. Unfotunately Kate got a little spooked at one of the houses and decided she was all done. So we headed home and handed out candy for the rest of the night. Both kids are now fast asleep. I wonder what they are dreaming about after all of that excitement?

WOW...love the costumes and the pumpkins you carved! I've not gotten too into the intricate pumpkin carving yet. Maybe we'll try it next year! Love the picture of Kate fast asleep in her carseat with the sucker hanging out of her mouth!
ReplyDeleteWe also had a super busy weekend as well. I haven't had a moment to blog about it, but hope to very soon
Take care!
