School Halloween Party.

Today I was in charge of Truman's class Halloween party.

I was SO happy that the school decided to allow the kids to wear their costumes to school, we did this as kids and I love the memories associated with it.  Before the class party the school did a costume parade for parents around the neighborhood. 

Pictured above are the two first grade dual immersion classes together.

Jake and Truman.

cute Mrs. Cook with some of the kids.

And they are off around the neighborhood.

There were parents and siblings lining the entire block.

I didn't even recognize our cousins Stella and Presley until they yelled out my name.

I LOVED their costumes.

After the school costume parade we went into the cafeteria for a little party.

We set up different stations for the kids to rotate to.

A mom read Halloween books to the kids - they LOVED it.

I love how all the kids are leaning in on the table listening closely to the stories.

Another mom read a story in Spanish about the Day of the Dead - we were trying to incorporate the Spanish culture as well.

Her face paint and costume were awesome.

My friend Cami volunteered to do the craft which was these cute skeletons.

This table was Halloween bingo.

Another station was wrapping the teachers up like mummies - the teachers were such good sports about it and the kids loved it.

Mrs. Cook

Things got exciting when our mummies came alive!

Donna did a 'pin the nose' on the pumpkin

Sugar cookie decorating.

Gregg helped make the witches brew to serve the kids - they loved it.

Bodie always loves when he gets to tag along and pretend like he is a 1st grader!

These kids are so cute - we had such a fun afternoon.

Carving Pumpkins.

This afternoon we worked on carving our pumpkins.

This year we didn't have to buy a single pumpkin, we grew them all in our garden!

Bodie hard at work coming up with his design.

Yes, a blue mustache .. goofing off with his brother. 

Gregg is taking his carving a little more serious this year!

Truman's comment was, "I grew the perfect pumpkin to carve"

So cute.

Gregg was super serious this year about his design ...

Truman designed and carved his pumpkin all by himself this year.
I thought it was pretty creative.

Bodie decided to draw a design on his pumpkin this year.

Bodie also designed this pumpkin and asked me to help him carve it - another creative pumpkin with the stem as the nose.

Pete's pumpkin is meant to look like him with his four front teeth.

I must admit Gregg's pumpkin turned out pretty awesome.

It's even cooler looking in the dark.

It's not a very scary looking front porch!
Those are all the pumpkins we grew in our garden this year.

Bodie's annual Halloween Party.

 Bodie's favorite holiday is Halloween so every year I try and let him have a little Halloween Party.

I love how he wrote him name on all the invitations.

We made a spooky witches brew to drink.

The kids thought it was pretty cool.

Jack-o-lantern clementines.

Lots of candy.

Mummy pigs in a blanket.

The brew.

We made green slime.

And everyone got to take some home.

Bodie picked out the decorations.

Tasting the brew.

We ate donuts off a string.

It was harder then we originally thought so we had to allow hands!!!

These kids are such good friends and such cuties.
Bodie was so happy to have them over for a simple celebration.

Thanks friends.
