Halloween Party

I'm finally getting around to posting about our Halloween party. We had a great time - there was a lot of people and food, but unfortunately I didn't have my camera out very much. I gave it to my mom for a little while but didn't tell her what to take, so we didn't get a ton of pictures, but better than nothing!
Here are our kids in their Halloween costumes,

and me and Tom.

At the beginning the kids were playing out back, and the new thing is to climb on the play house. Elizabeth's friend Elliott was able to come - we hadn't seen them in a while!

Little Isabella,

and Baylee - both were so pretty!

Victoria and her kiddos.

My dad was a magician and the girls really believed him, they kept asking him to do tricks ( I don't think he really knows any!)

Laura and Chrissy

(I had my camera out at the very beginning so everyone who came later, I pretty much don't have any pictures of :)

Some of the kids having a snack.

The Rangers were playing so the guys spent a lot of the night watching the game.

Ben and Josh were both Buzz Lightyear (and so was Cooper but he came later and I missed a picture of the 3 of them.)

Tom's brother Mark and his fiance were Luigi and Yoshi - the kids really like that!

Our friend, Katie, and her son Gavin.

The kids came out to the garage to play a game where they popped the balloons with a pin (the balloons were supposed to look like a jack-o-lantern) Each balloon had a piece of candy inside so the kids had a great time with this (except my kids were a little too nervous - they had to have someone else pop their balloon)

Ashlynn had a great technique - plugging her ear as she pops the balloon! :)

All the ladies that were in the garage - I wished we had gotten a picture of everyone!

Lots of the kids.

At the end of the night Ben and Nick (our friend from down the street) were asleep in the playroom. Elizabeth powered through and was awake until the end of the party.

We had such a good time - we're so happy so many of our family and friends could come.

I thought I would show this gross thing that got a lot of comments at the party. Those little heads are apples! You peel the apples and stick them in a bowl of cold water with a little lemon juice and salt. Then you carve faces and put them somewhere dry. I ended up sticking them in the oven (when it was off). If you want the apples to shrivel faster you can stick them in the oven on low for an hour or so every day and they will shrivel a lot faster. I think the kids had a good time seeing the apples turn into these creepy things!
