Happy Halloween!

By Halloween we were just about trick or treated out...or maybe that was just us parents. We once again participated in our church's Trunk or Treat event. The girls did a great job handing out mini cupcakes we made to share.
Our small group's "trunk" was sports themed. The kids could kick a soccer ball, throw a football, and try and make a basket. It kept us very busy. Titus loved trying to chase the ball around. He was a full time job to keep track of. After the girls ran out of cupcakes Jeremy took them around parking lot. Their favorite was the clown trunk where they got balloon animals.
Eating a "big boy" hot dog in a bun out of necessity. Unfortunately he was the only one who got a hot dog because they ran out before the rest of our family made it back to the snack booth. So, the girls and I enjoyed a bag of popcorn for our dinner instead.
Here are the girls all ready for school in their orange and black on Halloween morning.
It was a fun filled five days of costumes and candy and I'm grateful to move on to Thanksgiving.

Teacher Treat & 1st Halloween Party

One of the neat events Grace's school has is called "Teacher Treat." It is in the evening and kids can dress up and trick or treat to the different classrooms. Most of the teachers are wearing a costume or something festive. Here is an impromptu picture in the hallway when we ran into some of Grace's classmates.

I got to help with Grace's Halloween Party. It was at 2:30 on Friday and it went super fast. We started by playing a game where two teams searched for the letters to "Happy Halloween." Grace's team won.
After that we started in on treats and a craft. This is Grace's table: Grace, Ruthie, Allie, & Nivea.
They had a TON of treats, cookies, cupcakes, candy, and goody bags.

The time really flew. It was so fast I didn't get a ton of pictures. It was fun getting to know more of the kids in her class and meet a few moms too.
