Halloween Happenings

I know, I know, I am way behind on my blogging AGAIN. Sorry about this. And to make matters worse, these pics are way out of order. oh well, here we go...Some (out of order) Halloween happenings...

The Trunk-or-Treat at the church parking lot. Tatiana invited a couple friends to come along. They got LOTS of candy! Nick went with some friends to the High School Haunted house instead. He is getting so big!

The church party (held just before the trun-or-treat)...our little tiger riding around in the kiddie area...Isn't he soooo CUTE!!!!?

Our giraffe playing a game...The most odorable giraffe I've ever seen!

Here are Nick's pumpkins. I don't know why, but this terrible mom didn't get a picture of him actually carving and painting!

Our cute boys with their cute pumpkins!

Tatiana having fun with her pumpkin guts, eeeewwww!

Daddy is the official "carver" around here.


I am Tatiana's room parent again this year. This year I had the kids vote on what they wanted for a class Halloween party. They ended up with a glow-in-the-dark party in the gym with black lights, glow sticks, and glow tape. We played glow-in-the-dark games, had LOTS of great food to eat, and had a dance off at the end. That is what they wanted... I deliver!
Of course, in middle school they do not have class parties. But Nick was awarded a "Top Tiger" (good attendance, fewer than three tardies, all "A's", good behavior, etc.) and all the Top Tigers were able to do a bingo game and I was called to come and help pass out pop corn. They said the boys were welcome to come too, so we all went and helped pass out popcorn and watch the fun. Ben wanted to wear his costume from last year, "Super Why". You can tell which kids had younger siblings because they were the only middle-schoolers who knew who Super Why was! The boys loved all the attention they got.

Nick playing bingo. I had to snap this picture really quick with my phone. I didn't want to embarrass him!

And of course Ben had a Halloween party at preschool! It was very cute and he had a lot of fun. They ate yummy treats (Ben helped me make the cupcakes, he was so proud!)

They also played musical pumpkins, what fun!


One of Ben's little friends also threw a Halloween party at her house. Ben had a good time going and did several fun games and crafts. Thanks for the invite!

It was a fun filled and eventful Halloween this year!

Guess we know who you guys will be cheering for in the Oregon 'Civil War' eh??? LOL! (I couldn't help but notice the Oregon State shirt...) Our family is split... since my parents went to OSU and my Grandpa went to the U of O. (And my gpa is the LOUDER and PROUDER of the alumni around here! Ha ha...)
