This is Evan's school party/parade. It was cold outside and they still made the kids march outside. Horrible people. We were freezing. The class was cute though. Evan is on the far left in the pteranadon costume. It was a little small for him, but the only pteranadon costume I could fine. I may have had better luck making it. . . oh well. He liked it enough.
After Evan's school party we hurried home to finish the preparations for our party. We held it out in our garage, and it was full of fun games and fun food.
These are our "brains" no one would eat them for awhile. . . I finally sliced one open so they would see that it was just watermelon. Funny. Brayden loved them and almost ate a complete brain by himself on Sunday afternoon when we had dinner with the sister missionaries. They thought it was funny he kept asking for "more brain please". So proud.
The are my yummy cinnamon rolls. Just wanted to make them so I made them Halloweenish.
These are our witches fingers. They were the most popular with the kids. Gone quickly.
This is part of our garage. I didn't get a shot before hand, but it looked pretty cool. Josh even blew up 120 balloons for me and they were all over the floor. They were part of a game, so they were all popped and cleaned up before the night was over.
This is another part of our game. It was digging for worms. I learned a lot here. . .3 and 4 year olds really should use their hands while older kids diving in with their mouths is just fine. They enjoyed it.
Another part of the same game was this mummy wrap. I was so IMPRESSED with the Cobb family representatives. Those two boys did FABULOUS!! A mother couldn't be any prouder!! Watch and see how well they did.
They ended up getting second place which was so great as they were the youngest team.
This was their prize! They were thrilled to get to pick this witch. They wanted her when I bought her as a prize, so for them to get her was just great!! I really was SO PROUD of those two kids!!!
This was part of our scavenger hunt. It's the graveyard.
It was dark by the time they went out, we had a light shining on the graveyard so they could see it. It turned out well.
This was my favorite part. We leveled a path through our "forest" behind our house. It's really weeds, but it was really cool.
This was what the path led to. They also had a light shining on them. Those teeth on the ground glowed in the dark and shone great in the light. Each team was suppose to bring back an item from each place they visited with their specific number on it. It was quite funny how many teeth we found on the ground the next day that still had numbers on them. I'm pretty sure the first three teams actually had their correct number when they returned. . . I may not have been as vigilant after 1st, 2nd and 3rd place were taken. Still, it made me think about it.
This is the trashed pumpkin patch. Between a little rain before the party and all the kids trampling through the paper pumpkins didn't fair well. They were good for the moment though.
This is Matilda. She really is a part of our family. She was hung in the "witches hut" and would cackle when they opened the door. I was told it was the most scariest of places they visited.
I would have a picture of our pirate ship, but it was really lame and I was fully aware of that. I didn't put as much thought into it as some of the other areas.
It was a great scavenger hunt. It was a great party!! Thanks for coming everyone!
The next night was the ward Trunk or treat. These are before pictures.
If you know who Gregor Mendel is then this picture makes loads of sense. If you don't and want to find out why this picture makes loads of sense here is a link.
If you don't care, then consider my twins two peas in a pod and Josh is a monk. Either way their costumes worked.
This is our family this year. We originally planned on Toy Story 3 characters. . . but over time eveyone kinda changed their minds so we went with it. Just a hodge podge of costumes. It was fun to get to dress in my witch costume again!!
The kids got a great amount of candy, so they were happy.
Halloween morning I made these pancakes for the kids to say Happy Halloween.
We also had the sister missionaries over and just enjoyed the day. It was a good day overall!
Happy Halloween!!!!
