halloween

We began our Halloween celebrations with a homeschooling party at the park. We brought candycorn cupcakes to share. They had orange and yellow layers and then white frosting. Should have taken a picture. This party was organized somewhat at the last minute but it turned out amazingly well. I am so grateful for the group that we belong to.

Colin and Amy surprised us by coming dressed up to our family get together Friday night. Jeremy and Kim were in town with their boys so we had a Slade family party. Lots of delicious soup, rolls, cookies and cupcakes. Since most of us were starting our challenge on Monday we made sure to fill up on the good stuff.

Nathan carved this pumpkin all by himself and it turned out great.

 Finally, it was time for trick or treating.

 

 

 

 I stayed home to answer the door so I watched Food Matters on Netflix with the laptop. It was kind of ironic to be watching a show about healthy eating while I passed out candy. Emma went off with friends and Dave took the rest of the kids. When they left, the rain was coming in a downpour. Anne and Nathan only lasted about one street and came home to watch a movie. Sawyer and Slade kept going and stayed out quite a while since the rain finally stopped.
