Halloween

My cute neighbor always hosts a fun Halloween party for for all of the kids in our neighborhood.  I was in charge of a craft and we made paper spiders.  I love that she does this!

McKay is definitely the right character, he got so into it.  

 I thought I would throw our Halloween Apple Cider stand in to the Halloween post since it is what we did for the month of October.

 We did all sorts of donuts for the month and caramel apple cider (so yummy).

 Since my parents are in Africa, my brother and his wife hosted our family Halloween party.  I have done so horrible keeping track of pictures.  I know I took pictures and I can't find them, so this is all I have.  Luckily I have this gem of my younger brother.  He is so hilarious, my boys think he is the best thing ever.

 We had a little mask trouble this year.  McKay was Spiderman and Hunter was Zorro, and both of them had trouble with their masks.  Palmer was Demeriyus Thomas and Lincoln was Harry Potter from the Triwizard tournament.  Last year he was Quiditch Harry Potter and the year before he was regular Harry Potter.  I have no idea what is left for next year.

 Josh and I were bandits, but I forgot our sacks of loot.

This is what I made for the boys' classes.  They are Fruit By the Foot and say "Trick or Treat Smell my Feet."  Josh came up with it and I thought it was pretty clever.

 For the parade, Hunter's teacher came to visit (she had been out for treatment of Breast Cancer).  The chemo gave her black eyes, so she thought it would work to be a boxer.  We sure love this lady, she breast cancer and is such a great example of a loving, caring person.

 Mrs. Pettit's class is always required to do a report on a book for Halloween and dress up like the character that the book is about.  She was Sherlock Holmes.

 Lincoln was Harry Potter from "Goblet of Fire".

Palmer was wanting to be scary, since McKay would struggle with scary, we talked him into being a Broncos football player.  Next year might be the year of scary...

 Right after the parade, we all ran different directions.  Josh took McKay to his preschool Halloween party and I was in charge of Palmer's Halloween party.  Lincoln had his report so during a break, I ran over to his class for that and then I ran back to Palmer's class only to find out that Josh had to go back to work and McKay had to have a parent at his party with him.  So Palmer's teacher had to finish the party while I ran to be with McKay.  It was a wild day.

 Lincoln did a great job on his repsort.

 McKay's preschool party was so darling and he loved every second.  He is so shy, so he stayed pretty close to me, but it was a good time.

He kept acting so funny in his costume.  I think he was feeling the Spiderman vibe.

I didn't get any pictures of the night of, which is sad.  My sister Heather and her daughter Emmalyn came over and we had a fun party.  McKay's ghost treat bag makes him look like he is wearing a tutu!  It was a good year.
