Our month has been jam packed with fun activities to help us celebrate Halloween and the fall season. We've had a very fun and busy month. To end things with a bang, we invited some of our friends over on Halloween night for a party. At 5:15 we headed over to the police station (which is about 2 blocks from my house) and played there for a little while. They had bags of candy for all the kids, plus bags of cookies and free pizza. They also played some musical chairs and the winners (and pretty much every child who wanted one) got to choose a stuffed animal. It was so funny to watch Emmeline play. She was having so much fun dancing around the chairs that she didnt think to stop and get a chair when the music stopped, she just kept on dancing. So she was the first one out that first game. . .but it didnt seem to bother her. She just kept on dancing the whole game. Then they played again. This time she got creative and came up with a way to win and not worry about fighting for a chair. She pulled her own chair just a little off from the big group of kids and went dancing around that one chair all by herself. HILARIOUS. After a few minutes however, a couple of her little friends decided to join her around her single chair so she did have to fight for it in the end. . .but she ended up on top and got to chose a cute little cow to take home.
After the police station we all headed back to my house for some dinner. (Unfortunately, I didnt know they were having pizza at the police station or we would have just had that). We enjoyed soup, little "mummy" smokies, meatballs, bread and ghoulish green punch. (No, I didnt make all that myself. . .everyone brought something :). ) After we had dinner, I made "dead man" scones. What can I say, its a long standing family tradition of mine. "I'm boooiiling, eeeeeee." Anyway, the kids all ran around and played while the adults talked. After all of the kids had either left with their families or been put to sleep upstairs, a few of the remaining couples played the Wii with us. That was really fun.
I hope you had as wonderful a Halloween as we did. What a fun time of year!!
