We hope you all had a Happy Halloween. Our day was filled! This year we had a Werewolf and a Cheerleader. Sadi was dead set on being a monster high ghoul but with 3 costumes not fitting (to big, to short, etc.) and had to be returned we finally found one....and then she changed her mind! She was ABSOLUTELY not going to be ANYTHING but a cheerleader, and for days she chanted her cheers.
In the end it was worth it, she was very happy! She was cheering all day...literally all day.
Chase was happy too....until he got called a bear, several times.
We started the morning with these deliciously sugar cereals. Am I the only one who gets excited about these? I was disappointed that I couldn't find Boo Berry this Year. I guess they are all mine since the kids didn't like them.
Then it was off to school with class treats in tow, and these cute little witch shoes I made for the teachers and Kelsey's girlfriends. Only wish I had gotten a better picture of them.
I had to pack a "spooktacular" lunch for the kiddos since they have still been talking about the Halloween lunch that was so awesome from last year. Frankenstein juice, Bagel with "scream" cheese, pumpkin peaches, dirty witches fingernails (fritos), and just something I dug up (chocolate bones).
I spent most of the day at the school watching the parade of costumes, and then class hopping to help at the parties. Chase's class was just snacking and watching a movie but Sadi's teacher had a few fun experiments that were hands on. They got to find out if they were human or a wizard by mixing a magic potion...verdict is we have a wizard!
Sadi and her bestie were both Cheerleaders this year...coincidence? Hmmmm.....
After school it was a rush to get every one's homework done so we could have our Halloween dinner. Why do we have to have homework on this night?
I kept it simple with the menu: Pumpkin quesadillas, chips, and Dracula's famous salsa, grapes, and ghost floats. I think the kids were still full from all their party snacking but made a good attempt.
Then it was time to hit the streets! It was a nice night, only needed a light jacket.
The kids really had to work this year for their candy. Only about 1 in 10 houses were lit up. I enjoyed the walk. After about an hour it was time to go home and dump...
A good haul for an hours worth of time. Of course there is always a winning candy that makes it all worth it. For Sadi this was a fruit roll up? Yup. She was so ridiculously excited about this one you would think I never buy them.
A few houses for me hit a bit high on the creep-o-meter and I don't mean decorations. One little old lady had to take a picture of them before they got candy...ok? But the winner for me....someone gave out old children's books...old, used, books. I thought it to be to weird and made the kids leave them on the porch. Sadi was so mad. Sorry I don't do sticky pages...eww. Anyone else get something strange?

Looks like you guys had a fun day/night. Love the costumes and clever little lunch;) We didn't get anything strange, but at one house the old man answered the door and then asked Mark and I if it would be okay if the girls stepped inside so his wife who has Lukemia could see them and their costumes. At first we were taken back...we've never has such a request. Of course we let them step in and say hello to her....made me really sad and happy at the same time:)
Just noticed we had the same plates for our dinner...great minds think alike I tell ya;) And no you are not the only one who gets excited about the monster cereals....look who bought them too...too funny!!!
