Halloween Week

At our house Halloween lasted a whole week, maybe more. We had all sorts of events. It started with Boo at the Zoo where the kids met Elsa and a talking pumpkin.

Next we went to the Halloween party at the church. Kate actually wore her witch costume for this one. She sure does make a cute witch!!

 James decided he wanted to wear a different costume as well, so he wore his Prince James costume.

Kate was so excited that her friend Jessica was also dressed as a witch.

 Jessica was kind enough to paint Kate and James' faces. I was grateful because it turns out face paint is harder than it looks!

There were lots of fun games!

My friends were in the process of moving (Boo! and not the spooky Halloween kind of boo), so we got to bring this cute girl with us to the party 

After the party the kids decided to change their costumes again.

And again.

Monday we carved pumpkins.

Luckily, everyone pitched in to take out the pumpkin guts.

 

I think they turned out pretty well!

 Tuesday morning we headed off to school. Kate brought her book to share with her class at school. James, not to be left out, brought his book too.

 

I was able to snap a picture with Kate and one of her best friends, Lucy while they were at recess.

 

James had preschool that morning. It's only once a month, but it's really fun!

 

 This is a super blurry picture, but isn't Kate's teacher adorable? She was Pinkalicious for Halloween.

 At the store on Thursday, I found these little monsters.

Friday we went out trick-or-treating. Kate lamented for a long time, trying to decide if she was going to go as a witch or a dragon. She finally settled on dragon. 

The kids came home with a load of candy, and very kindly shared with mom and dad.
