I have several topics that I've written on.. but they are currently in my mind only. I have more pictures to post, but they are stuck on my camera or in iPhoto at the moment...
Needless to say.. We have been busy and on the go quite a bit over the last month, but I do intend to play "catch-up" one of these days with this blog.
For now, lets revisit Halloween and fun kid parties... The kids were invited to a Costume Party a few weeks back. We didn't refer to it as a Halloween Party because my kids have in their minds that Halloween consists of trick or treating, riding on a hayride, dressing up, and going door to door, resulting in having a big bag of candy for all of their "hard work".
It was not that kind of Halloween this year... Instead, the kids did dress up: Morgan was a fairy princess going to a masquerade party of some sort (very cute though) and Micah was Luigi.
This is the amazing table of food that between all of the moms was provided for the party. Such a cute idea!
And at this particular party, the famous bobbing for apples was done slightly different. It was water-LESS for starters. They tied a string around the apples and all of the apples hung from a pole. The kids then got on their knees and had to bite into the apple to win a prize. It was hilarious, needless to say!!! (And very clean too, I might add).
And then another way of "bobbing for something" was what we did with our fellowship group: Bobbing for Donuts! Thank you to Pinterest for this idea. It was even more funny watching the kids go after the donuts, some taking longer then others, but this time the prize was the donut!
Pics of our Princess and Luigi... (face painting was part of it too!)
Other games we did were: Pin the face on the pumpkin, ghost bowling (which consisted of toliet paper with black cut out ghost faces taped on & stacked like a pyramid for the kids to knock down with a foam ball)- sorry for the lack of pics.. they turned out super blurry. They also played 2 rounds of Halloween BINGO (again... thanks to Pinterest for the free printouts).
The whole gang!
At the end of both parties, there were sugar filled children and fun memories made! Until next year... Happy Halloween!
