Halloween

We had Halloween decorations up at our house beginning in August.  Spencer loves Halloween, and all holidays are celebrated very thoroughly at our house.

 We got to pick pumpkins from our pumpkin patch at the high school.  Spencer chose the biggest on there, and Carrie chose the smallest one.

 We had a Halloween party while the Risenmays were here.  We invited (on Spencer's insistence) every person in the complex and the other houses and in our branch.  It was a holiday weekend though (fall break) so we were not too overwhelmed by the turn out.

 Devon and Carrie were Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat.  Every kid has worn this costume.

 At our party we bobbed for apples, bowled with pumpkins, decorated cookies and tried to throw a spider at a web.  Also we had a Halloween movie when in got dark.

Our kids were lucky enough to have 2 Halloween parties. We went to Phoenix the next week and Kate and Olivia planned another Halloween party for us with Halloween food, a scavenger hunt, relay race, make a mummy and bingo. We love Halloween.

Then we carved our pumpkins.

Here are Spencer and James on Halloween ready for school.  James was a skeleton with a red and black bat on each cheek.  Spencer was a vampire.
