Goblins, and Ghouls, and Ghosts, Oh My!

Our Halloween festivities spread over an entire week. We started out throwing a Halloween party at our house the week before Halloween. We made Frankenstein brownies and mummy pizzas but the biggest hit was bobbing for apples. The kids had a blast and everyone took more than one turn. I wasn't able to talk any adults into bobbing for apples but the adults had their own fun playing Cranium later that night.

B loved holding our neighbor who is 3 months old. I spent awhile holding her too and she even fell asleep in my arms. She is exactly 1 day younger the the twin girls I nanny for.

Arg, matey!

A week later was Halloween. We went to a carnival down the road but it was kind of a flop. Hubby and the kids each carved a pumpkin. FiFi made her jack-o-lantern's teeth match her missing teeth, Wyn made a regular jack-o-lantern, B made an angel, and hubby made a jeep. Mommy is not a big fan of scraping out the pumpkins so I just supervised.

The kids ready for trick-or-treating!

Overall we had a great time celebrating Halloween. The day of was very low key and my kids called it a night early. The party was a blast and we had 25 people show up which was great. I love throwing parties. I may have to try to do it more.
