Early Halloween Party

We decided to have an early Halloween party here this weekend and it was a blast! The kids looked adorable in their costumes, and really played pretty well together considering we had 11 kids, and all but one were five years old and under.
Aspen the Fireman
Batman Luke
Princess Journey and Peyton the Monkey
This wasn't all the kids, but a good majority.
From the top, Aspen, Luke, Adam
Sofia, Journey, Peyton
and Ava.
It is so hard to get a good group shot! Someone is always trying to run off :)

Playing "Simon Says" with Justin. The kids loved the game. He had them jumping, spinning, wiggling, on the ground, etc. Thanks Justin!

Activities of the Night:

Isaac bobbing for apples in the bathroom sink with Lexi, Aspen, Luke, Adam and Ben looking on.
Success! Adam catching his apple.
All the kids eating their prizes. They all did great and got their apples without completely soaking themselves or the bathroom :)
Next, we decorated pumkin sugar cookies.
We had planned for the kids to carve their pumkins, but by this time, they were done with the organized activities and left it to the adults.



Here are a few more pictures from our busy weekend. We had Aspen's cousin Luke, and Ryan and Christina had his brother Adam for the weekend. We met up at the mall for coffee and play time at the play structure. The boys have had such a great time playing together this weekend. It has been such a treat as we do not get to see them very often.

Luke 3, Aspen 4, Adam 5 years old
Journey 20 months
Ava 17 months

See Journey's bear? Mark and Journey built it at the Build-A-Bear store in the mall.
Journey fell in love with the bear as we were walking past the store and Mark couldn't say no :)
