School Halloween Party

Ok. Another Halloween posting. Today was Elena, Landon and Ashleigh's Halloween Party at school. All of the older kids got to wear their costumes while the younger just wore Halloween shirts. The big kids got their faces painted at school. All of the kids sang their Halloween songs for the parents and then they went outside to trick-or-treat. All of the parents sit around the play yard with candy and the kids come to your house to get it until it is gone. It is so cute. The kids just go round and round or cut across to their favorite kind of candy. I must have seen one kid 30 times at my station because she liked the candy in my bowl. After the trick-or-treating, they all got changed and had a pizza/snack party. The kids always love this. It was a cute little party. Landon didn't want me to leave. He isn't used to me being there with him for so long and then leaving him.

Dance Class Halloween Party!

Tonight was Elena's Halloween party at dancing class. She used her Halloween costume from last year and went as Princess Jasmine. They got to do their whole dance class in their costumes and then they had their party after. These are just a few pictures from the party.

Hickory Maze

We went to the corn maze in Hickory this weekend. We didn't know what to expect because I hadn't been there in years and Barrett and the kids had never been. We got there around noon and packed a lunch so we could just spend a few hours here and not worry about the kids starving. We went in the maze just a few minutes after noon and it took us to about 1:15 to finally find our way out. It was so fun. We let Elena lead the way for the first half and even though we knew we were going around and around, we let her make the choices. She loved it. We would play hide and seek and try to find each other in this huge maze. This would be really creepy to do at night! After the maze, we had a picnic with our lunch. Next went to the pumpkin patch. This was a little dissapointing because there were hardly any pumpkins around. But we took a few pictures and she picked a pumpkin and then she got to paint her pumpkin. After she painted her pumpkin, we went on the hayride. Both of the kids loved the hayride. It was short and just took us in a square around the field but the kids liked it. After the hayride Elena painted her pumpkin a little more and then we loaded up and went home. Both kids crashed on the way home. That is always the sign of a good day!
