When Samuel drags in a bin from the garage,
it usually means one of two things:
We're going camping,
or it's time to decorate for a holiday!
Either way,
the kids are thrilled!
But in this case,
Samuel pulled out the Halloween bin-
and we all dug in to spook-i-fy the house!
I always puts on Halloween music,
and "Thriller" always awakens the zombies!
This year we had some old and new traditions.
For instance,
we always carve pumpkins
roast pumpkin seeds,
and read spooky stories.
This year though,
Samuel made me a monogrammed pumpkin (I love the "E"!),
the kids ate flourescent green
Hostess Snow Balls for breakfast,
and Iris brought home her class Duck
to share in the festivities!
The not-to-be-missed event-of-the-year
(according to my kids...):
T H E W A R D H A L L O W E E N P A R T Y !
I was a little bummed that we attending without Samuel
(this semester he had class on Friday nights),
but let's face it,
I am never without company!
Tonight I, a motorcycle momma,
was escorted by my tough-guy side-kick, Gabriel,
a talented artiste (Isabella),
a blood-thirsty vampire (Ava),
Mulan (Iris),
and a rather timid pirate (Owen)!
We had a super-fun Halloween Party with the
Ramos, Lopez, & King families!
We feasted on Super-Nachos,
fresh fruit, caramel corn, & the like!
Taylor dominated Spooky Musical Chairs,
and the kids had a blast tricky-treating down
Spook Alley (a.k.a. our hallway!).
The Elmer family hosts an annual Halloween Party as well,
and part of that menu always features donuts!
Since Halloween fell on a Sunday this year,
instead of purchasing donuts,
I made them!
It was super-fun,
but very fast-paced,
and of course,
crazy-delicious-un-healthy!
Aunt Leah hosted this year,
and per prego tradition,
she was our pumpkin!
...
All in all,
when the holiday was finally over,
we were definately treated out!
It's time for some real food,
so with open arms we welcome...
T H A N K S G I V I V I N G !
