Our Halloween

We began our Halloween actually the night before by making Halloween cookies for our Halloween party. As you can see...Megan did the supervising.








On Halloween, Ben's school had a Halloween party. All the kids dressed up and had a costume parade. Then everyone did Halloween activities, like making cookies, mummies, and painting pumpkins.



In the afternoon Jenny invited us up to her office, where they were having a Halloween party at Dow. The kids got to "trick-or-treat" from office to office and get all kinds of snacks and goodies.


At night we had some friends come over for trick-or-treating. We had Parker and his mom and dad, Miles and Quinten and their dad, and Nicholas and William with their mom and dad. We ate chili, cookies, and all sorts of snacks.

Here's a picture of Ben and Parker dressed up and ready to go out.

Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate this year. It rained on us while we were trick-or-treating. There was a group of us, 4 boys running around, and I was walking Megan around in her stroller...and it was raining on us. We got to a decent amount of houses this year, but after the rain the boys all said "enough." When we got back to our house to dry off all the kids took off their costumes and started eating treats.

So despite the weather not cooperating I'd say we had a good Halloween this year. Ben had a great time. Today we're going to start taking the decorations down. Ben is still trying to talk me into leaving "Mr. Bones" out in front of the house. He likes going to see him every day. I think he'll miss him.
