a full week of halloween

I don't know why, but I think Halloween did me in this year. It has taken me a week to get back to myself! HA HA! It was a fun Halloween this year. First we had our 3rd annual Family Halloween Party. We only have one set of cousins nearby, but it is fun for them to see each other in their costumes. It also gives the grandparents the opportunity to see all of the grand kids as well. (My parents weren't able to make it this year) Brent and I usually don't dress up, but I found our wigs at Walmart and decided it would be easy to join in the fun!

 If you don't know about Antoine Dodson you will have to look him up on YOUTUBE.  Brent loves the catchy song he has! (and no Brent is not racist--we just thought no one would really know who he was if he was a this big white guy with an Afro wig)

Among all of our personal fun I also had to help put on a "Spooky Dinner" for the Achievement Day Girls in my ward.  I was nervous that it would be chaotic and boring for everyone, but they loved it!  Whew I am glad that one is done!  So on that friday we had the annual Halloween costume parade at school. It was so funny because Kate did not want to wear any of her props. I guess if she doesn't care then I don't either. I do have to tell a funny story though, when I went to pick up the kids after school I see Kate running around with all of her costume off except for her white tshirt and white leggings. You could see her underwear. I didn't want to tell her, but I finally asked her if she knew that you could see her underwear. She said she didn't care--oh boy--and what was her teacher thinking?

After the parade I was off to help with Luke's class party.  I am one of the room moms so I took charge of the treat.  Last year when I had to do this for Austin's class I needed something that wasn't pure sugar for the kids, so I came up with a witches brew buffet.  I think it turned out really cute and the kids loved it!

So we trick or treated on Saturday night.  I am not sure if the kids were sick of their costumes, but I was glad it was the last time for a year!   The kids were very excited to go trick or treating but the weather had a trick for us this year.  It poured rain--very hard rain.  I felt bad for the kids because they were disappointed.  They were so wet and cold.  I think they made it to 5 houses.  I guess on the bright side we didn't have candy around for very long!
