Our Halloween tradition is to attend the carnival event at our
church. It is FABULOUS! This is our third year and we have yet to be disappointed. I think what I really love, is that E does not associate Halloween with Trick or Treating or scary events. He only thinks of a fun filled family night at church.
This year E wanted to be a Transformer. It's kind of funny because he doesn't really know anything about them. He's not old enough to watch the movie or cartoons, so his only experience is with a few Transformer toys that he received for his birthday. Somehow (a.k.a Dad/Brian) he has learned the characters names and knew that he wanted to be BumbleBee for Halloween.
Sadly our friends were unable to join us this year, but we were delighted that Grandma and Grandpa wanted in on the fun! Here E and Grandma are decorating cookies.
Grandpa helping K scoop up ducks. If you scoop up the "right" duck then you get a prize. K didn't care about the ducks, as much as he enjoyed splashing around.
The Bean Bag Toss with Mrs. Halverson. We love Mrs. Halverson-she's E's Cubbies Teacher!
Sitting on the stage waiting for E and Daddy to go down the BIG jumpy slide.
E went down the slide once and that was enough. K had daddy go down the slide with him at least 5 times! He laughed the whole way down.
Both boys enjoyed the jumpy house.
And a little Trunk or Treating from Peter Pan & Tinker Bell.
There were about 30 cars this year and each car gave out an average of 2 pieces of candy. I let the boys have 1 piece a day. So we will be eating candy for a very very long time.
This was really K's first year to Trunk or Treat and after the first few cars he finally realized that people were giving him chocolate!
My favorite part is the hay ride. We did it twice this year.
Such a fun time!!
On another note: K fell in the bath tub over the weekend and chipped his front tooth. I'm just sick about it. We are in the process of finding out from the dentist what we need to do. Oh my little K! He's going to be the boy I constantly worry about! Bruises, Broken Bones, Stitches.....that will be my boy.
My parents in Palm Springs a few years ago.
This is my family back in the 80's when we lived in So. California. (dad, me, mom)
My parents with their cruising buddies. They are going on their next cruise together in a few weeks. I think they have all been friends for about 35 years!
Oh Dad!
