Halloween 2010

It's the Halloween Hangover at our house this morning. Exhausted parents, cranky kids, candy wrappers everywhere and I'm covered in hives. PAR-TAY. Halloween has been a three day event this year.

This year we had:

A Twilight Volturi Vampiress

Darth Maul

A cheerleader

A ballerina...having a meltdown. Bryn wasn't loving our little photo shoot.

I spent Friday at the elementary school running madly from Kameron's room to Ailey's room. I helped set up and decorate Kameron's room and I was in his class for the first part of the afternoon. Then I ran over to Ailey's classroom where I was in charge of pumpkin bowling. It was fun to be able to help with both parties. I particularly love the Halloween Parade. All the kids were so cute in their costumes.

Crystal...room mother extraordinaire

Kameron's class

Kam and two of his buddies

Ailey and her buddy Max

Then Friday night was the Halloween Carnival at the Church

There was a cake walk, fish pond, face-painting, games, crafts and trick-or-treating inside. The kids had a great time!!

Reilly and the Young Women were in charge of face painting...Doesn't she look thrilled? Is she strangling Ailey or painting her face?

Ailey and her friend Taryn

Once Bryn got into the festivities there was no stopping her

Once she figured out that people were giving her CANDY she was a madwoman!!

My friend Janyse in her costume. Her husband is a P.A. and she WILLINGLY put that cast on. Just looking at it made me hyperventilate.

Then Saturday Tyler and I were running around madly getting birthday presents...Reilly and Kameron's birthdays are right around the corner. We did manage to squeeze in a much needed early sushi dinner date before it was time for Trunk-or-Treat. Reilly ditched us this year and went to a Halloween Party with her friends. She got to stay out until 11pm. Her latest curfew yet.

This was probably the best Trunk-or-Treat of all time. We crashed the trunk-or-treat of another ward in our stake...as did quite A LOT of other people. There were probably about 4 different wards represented...with Halloween on a Sunday we had to squeeze in all the trick-or-treating we could get!! The kids scored big in the candy department.

Hands down the best costumes of the night!! Our friends Chris and Valynn.

Then we headed over to Kelley's house for a visit and to drop off a little treat for Elle. Kelley-Post some pictures of Elle in her butterfly costume.

Sunday was the Primary Program which turned out fantastic. One of the best ones I've ever seen. All the kids were singing their hearts out and almost everyone had their parts memorized. My cute little class of darling four year-olds did a great job. Kameron and Ailey were AWESOME. They both had their parts memorized and spoke loudly and clearly. It was a great program.

Sunday night we had our spooky Halloween dinner of:

Ghost Lasagna
Witch fingers dipped in the blood of disobedient children
Pumpkin Juice
Baby Pumpkins for Dessert

Now it's time to clean the house, hide the candy, take a nap, and go to my doctor's appointment. I hope your Halloween was as wild and eventful as ours was...now onto two birthdays, Thanksgiving, and...gulp...Christmas!!
