Halloween paries

 The girls have learned to love parties. They wake up each morning asking if they are going to another party. Here they are at story time.
 They didn't keep their outfits on very long. They colored a bat and a witch that were tied to a string.



Halloween Bash at the base Library. Fishing for sea creatures.


 A scarecrow read a couple monster stories.
 They had several booths, but we stayed at this one the whole time. Cookie decorating. They had a cake walk, but since it is just me and the girls, I would have ended up eating it all.





They were given a balloon each to take home. Every time they let go of the string I had to reach the balloon for them. I found that if I put them on my bed, they could reach it themselves.








 Counting the stars we cut out for daddy's welcome back decorations.




 Hot chocolate with marshmallows.







 We cut out letters for the welcome back sign for daddy. They had fun sticking their head through the "O's"

Halloween bash at the church

We started our morning at play group.

For Halloween I made them sunflower girl outfits.

Clip: throwing ball

bean bag toss

trick or treat.... the girls never said trick or treat or thank you for that matter, but they got really good at going room to room and holding out their pumpkins for candy.










Melody could not get the wrapper off a tootsie roll, so she ate through it.
They were so mad when I took their candy away from them tonight. If it was up to them, they would still be eating it. I took an hour to get them ready for bed, they were so hyped up on sugar. They were so cute, but so full of energy.
