Halloween Party

This year instead of taking Kathryn out trick or treating in a neighborhood where I did not know anyone we decided to have a party at our house. Our own neighborhood is so spread out we have been going to another one close by. Kathryn and I had fun planning all the activities for everyone to do. In attendance we had Kathryn, Sam, Paige, Grace S., Grace D, Faith, Talia, and Dallas.

The first thing they did was to decorate a treat bag. Each family had brought a bag of trick or treat candy to share with everyone. When they were done the children went out play and Lona filled up their bags with the candy and other treasures. Instead of having them get a prize each time they played a game I just let them have fun playing the games and everyone got prizes in their bags.

Ms Eva is showing off her costume as a princess ( borrowed from Grace of course)

Amanda and I tried our hand at face painting. Next year we will get better face paint. This kind was hard to apply. The kids thought it was great though.

Some of the games included ring toss....

Pin the nose ont he pumpkin....

... and .. Bean Bag toss....Danny Jack brought Cowboy over for the kids to meet.

Sam as Hannah Montana and Paige as a Princess.

somewhere in the middle of the festivities we had a snack.
Our last activity was a race to see who could put the scarecrow together first.

The team on the left won but everyone had fun playing the game.I think that I will leave them up through Thanksgiving. Arn't they just the cutest.
We also had Halloween books out for the children and they asked me to read them a story before they headed home.
Our last guest was Cousin It. I think that is Grace D under all that hair.
Kathryn missed the act of Trick or Treating, but she had so much fun at her party she said she wanted to do it again next year.
