Halloween Activities

We started our Halloween festivities a week before Halloween by making cookies

Then, for FHE we invited our "grandparent" friends in our ward to carve pumpkins

Roland's pumpkin

Caleb's

Leah's

Alex's

Braydon came to the kids' school with me to watch the Halloween Parade

And we delivered treats to Alex, Caleb, and Leah's classrooms

Caleb's teacher didn't have any parent helpers for the party,
so we stayed to help out.

We took the kids trick-or-treating at Springville's Safe Halloween

Halloween day Katie and I planned a fun Halloween party.
The kids made egg-carton spiders

Alex, Braydon, Caleb, Leah and Hannah (Katie's niece)

They also played Halloween Darts

Bobbing for apples was so funny!

Braydon dunked his entire head into the pot to get the apple!

Caleb got pretty drenched bobbing for apples too

Leah's entire front of her costume got soaked
because she was practically laying in the water!

Waiting to eat!

Deviled egg eyes

Carrot "fingers"

Deviled-egg "eyes"

peanut butter "fingers" with strawberry jam "blood"

My personal favorite was the apple "smiles"
We also floated red hands in the punch

"Mummy" dogs

Papa handed out the candy at their house wearing his costume.

This is how high our seats were from the stage.
Note for next time...pay the extra to sit closer!

Caleb's 8th Birthday!

Caleb started his day with his "8" shaped pancake and a smile!

I came to his school and brought cookies to celebrate

His classmates sang Happy Birthday to him while he wore the birthday hat
(it was pink, so he only held it above his head because he wouldn't wear pink!)

They played "heads up seven up"
And Caleb passed out cookies to everyone

His birthday party was a big hit.
He wanted a "Pirate" birthday party
We did a Treasure Hunt for the kids.

They found the buried treasure, hidden in the garage

Everyone wants some of the Loot!

Then they "Walked the Plank" to win more prizes

At last the pizza came and we had cake and ice cream too.

Happy birthday, Caleb!!
