Halloween 2018

The kids couldn't wait to carve pumpkins this year.  Surprisingly, they carved a lot of them all by themselves!  Cadence wanted to carve a bat and Colin picked a skull.  They did a great job!

Getting down to business


I wore gloves to clean the pumpkins out this year - my hands usually end up red and itchy if I don't!

Throwing up gang signs?


She did not want those gloves near her













Just look at those faces of determination


The finished products!



At the beginning of the school year, I signed up to volunteer to help at Colin's class "Harvest" party - I had already helped out with a bunch of class parties for Cadence, so now it was Colin's turn.  It was a lot of fun interacting with Colin and his classmates. 

One mom brought in a bunch of cute Halloween themed goodies

I was head of the Halloween Bingo table - the kids loved it!

Colin helped out once his group had already played Bingo

They got to make ghosts out of paper cups and streamers

Unbeknownst to me, Cadence's class party was right after Colin's (I had thought that they would overlap), so I was able to help out in Cadence's class as well!  She was surprised to see me.

They had a Halloween "photo booth"

I helped out with the crafts

They made masks and ornaments

I didn't get too many pictures since I was helping out, but both classes also played some Halloween themed games.  It's great watching the kids have so much fun with people they're with all day, every day!

We had some fun with Snapchat


This year for Trick-or-Treat, we had a skeleton and Dorothy - they were so stinkin' cute!

Scarlet photo-bomb!

Our friends invited us to their house for dinner and Trick-or-Treat in their neighborhood.  We always have such a good time with them!


SO.MUCH.CANDY.  I'm not sure about Colin, but Cadence grouped her candy into groups of 10 and counted about 220 pieces.  I'm guessing Colin had around that as well.  Luckily the elementary school collected candy to donate to the troops (Treats for Troops)!  The kids were super generous in giving up the candy they had worked so hard for.  It was awesome seeing them throw it into the bag to donate!  Such a good idea.  

Halloween 2018 - that's a wrap!
