Halloween 2008

Every year, Ash and Xander make a scary guy to sit on our porch

Ward Trunk or Treat: We all brought different kinds of chili for dinner, then the kids played lots of fun games like musical chairs (see below), cupcake walk (Xander and I made some cupcakes), fishing game, and a costume parade before we all went outside to the trunk or treat.
MOMS Club party: We had snacks, did crafts, colored, played games and had a costume parade where all the kids went up on the mini stage and said into the microphone what they were. Surprisingly, Xander was all quiet and you could barely hear him say that he was an army guy.

Our cute little ladybugXander's school party: The kindergarteners got to wear their costumes to school. They started the day with a parade around the school, watched a fun movie with the other class, had treats and a class party where they made classmates into a mummy with toilet paper, listened to a Halloween story, and painted a candy corn cup (look at how hard Xander is concentrating!)Halloween night: It was sooo warm we didn't even have to wear a jacket! (I remember the year before we were all bundled up and still I was freezing!) Xander decided that he didn't want to be an army guy again so he wore the Power Ranger costume I bought last year at an after Halloween sale). We wanted to all go together, so we filled up a bowl of candy and left it on our "scary guy" with a sign that said "Please take one!" Marissa with her "stash"
