Trick or Treat Time!!

My little lion!!

Here is my gang ready to go out. Heather came with us and the other boy in the picture is John, our newly "adopted son". The big kids decided they wanted to have some fun too so I said "go for it!"

My sweet little ladybug!

Our front porch. We didn't decorate as much this year as we normally do.

My beautiful dancer.

Robert, Dawn, Michelle and Lil' Rob came over to go out with us. Lil'Rob was the tool man!

Walking through the neighborhood.

The sky was perfect!!

One of the neighbors has some little games set up for the kids to do.

Lil'Rob was a little shy at first but he finally did play a couple games.

About half way through, Sara met up with us too.

We rode through the neighborhood in the back of Bobo's truck to save a little walking time!

How cute are they?

A sliver of the moon!

We had tons of fun and the kids got WAY TOO MUCH candy!! After trick or treating, we all loaded up and went to a friend's Halloween party where Randy's band was playing.

Pumpkin Fun!!

I am giving up on making each post title the week number because I can't seem to find the time to post each week and then I loose track of what week we are on.

So, before I left for work on Halloween, we had some pumpkin fun!! Morgan invited Sara to come over to make some pumpkins with us too. First, we painted potatoes to look like jack-o-lanterns!! Well, we only had 3 potatoes so Kristen painted a Styrofoam ball!
Here is Ian painting his.


and Momo painting.


Four happy smiles, having fun!


While we waited for the potatoes to dry, we made torn paper pumpkin pictures. ( Ian had a little help tearing his pieces.)

The next craft was paper bag pumpkins. We stuffed lunch bags and tied them up with raffia. Then, we painted them. These are really cute.

Kristen didn't make one of these but she helped Ian with his.

Here they are all done. The black paint wanted to run so the faces look sorta creepy!



Morgan and Kristen wrote an acrostic poem. Here is Kristen's.

...and here is Momo's!

Ian made a Pumpkin Counting mini book.

Here is all their work on display!

That was how we spend Halloween morning!!
