We had a pumpkin carving party at our house for family home evening. We had doughnuts, cider and homemade fudge. My sis-in-law Sharon really gets into the carving and brought over a really fun kit which made the carving a lot more interesting and creative. You may not tell from the pictures, which weren't great, but we had a witch, a ghost, a hanging bat and a weird face. They all turned out really good and it was fun.
The whole week was red ribbon week at Cole's school. One day was crazy hair day, so we sprayed Cole's hair, one side blue and the other black. Cole was sure that Caleb wanted to be involved so we sprayed his hair blue too.
On Friday Cole's class had a parade where the Kindergarten classes went into each other's rooms to show off their costumes. Cole decided he wanted to be a vampire again this year. That evening we got all of the kids dressed up and went to our city recreation center where they have a Halloween party each year. There were games, prizes, face painting, and of course trick-or-treating. Caleb really got it this year and grinned from ear to ear as each piece of candy was dropped into his bucket.
On Saturday we went to the elementary school's Halloween carnival. There were rides, more games and prizes, a band and food. We were having a good time, until the rain, and I mean A LOT of rain, cut it short. We waited it out at a friends house and let the kids play and had pizza for dinner. Once the rain let up we got the kids dressed up and Shane took them trick-or-treating. Cole switched things up and decided to be a cowboy for this night, sorry no picture.
It was a good holiday, we had lots of fun and hope everyone else did too.
