Halloween 2013

Halloween was a fun but very busy day.  Aunt Linda came to entertain Colton while I went to Hayden and Gracie's Halloween parties at school.  Thank you so much for Aunt Linda.  It is such a huge help and Colton had way more fun with her than he would have me.  They went to the park and played rode his bike and played hard. 

Gracie's party was at 11:30, so she was first.  She had so much fun.  This is all still new to her at GWA.  They played games, painted pumpkins and of course had cupcakes and food.  They all got to wear their costumes too, there were lots of super heroes and princesses in there.  I am so glad I am able to be at all their fun stuff.

After Gracie's party, Aunt Linda came and picked her up from school and they all went back to the park.  She was so excited to ride in Linda's car.  It is a really big deal to ride with anyone but Mommy.  I don't know why, guess it is just something different. 

Hayden's party started at 1:30 and her classes party is in the lunch room.  They had some snacks and cupcakes and went back to their classroom to make Mummies out of each other with toilet paper.  You should have heard the laughter in that classroom. 

After all of this, Hayden and I went to pick up Gracie and Colton. They were so tired they were both about to fall asleep on the playground.  Good Job Aunt Linda.  That is when you know they are tired!!!

Colton got a power nap when we got home and then we all got dressed and ready to go trick or treating.  We went to Aunt Kim and Uncle Artie's house and met with Mimi and Pop.  Mimi and Pop had fixed them a really neat trick or treat bucket up with lots of their favorite goodies in them.  Colton even got a tractor!  Mimi and I took them all around the neighborhood to trick or treat.  They were so sweet and very thankful to each house.  I have to admit it made me a proud Mommy.  Even though I may have had to remind them a few times.  They had so much fun looking to see who had their light on and how fast they could get there.  Hayden rang all the doorbells, she thought she was hot stuff!  Colton loved it.  This was his first year and boy did he enjoy himself.  After we went to all houses, Hayden went back to Kim's and handed out some candy to other kids.  She enjoyed being big enough to do it herself.  It was a great time and we were home in time to watch Charlie Brown too. 

Thank you to everyone that helped me yesterday.  I appreciate it so much.  I love you all!
