Halloween Night

I just love Halloween, even though it is one of those crazy busy days. That seems like you are running around all day long. Well this Halloween was no different. Van Helsing woke up at 7:30am ready to put on his costume. So I let the other kids sleep in while I painted his face and finished some last minute touch-ups on his costume. The next time I looked at the clock it was 8:30 and "The Dead Princess" was still sleeping. We only had one-half hour to get her ready. So we curled her "Dead Princess Hair" and we painted her face then we got her all dressed. And of course mom has to take photos before they go to school. Treg got dressed in his costume and then him and I went to lunch with Christina and Caden. Of course we stopped by the Haunted House on the way home and took some photos. Then I got to go help with the craft in Matia's class. I have to say Katie did such a wonderful job with the activities she had planned. Count Dracula came and told some stories then they turned off the lights and used flash lights to find the bats hiding in the dark. It was super fun.Right after school we headed to Daddy's work for their work party. They had it well organized and the kids wanted to be in the costume contest. We didn't stay to find the results because the kids were so excited to go trick or treating to all the desks. We finally got to see where dad works.Then we came home and had pizza for dinner and Troy came over with his cute girls to go trick or treating with their cosins. I guess they had a lot of fun because they stayed out for a couple hours and came home with tons of candy. It was nice to have a really warm halloween for once. I don't ever remember it being this warm.
So later Kye and his girls came over to visit and they stayed till 11:30. Then we had busted out the boom-box and disco CD's and danced in the strobe light. We love those family dances we can act like complete fools and we still love each other. It was a great Halloween I will treasure these memories forever.
