Halloween Week

So this year for Halloween Mason was a lion!


 Christopher decided to be a lion hunter and Mason was his prey; they were really cute costumes. This year we had a party at the Durrants where there was deliciously scary food, a haunted graham cracker house contest, and a slippery game for the dads.


Our house came out great and was a ton of fun to make, Christopher especially liked eating the candy.


The dads all participated in a game where they had to use their feet to find three clear marbles in a tub of spaghetti and oil.  Christopher tied for first finding two marbles faster than the other guys. They had to be careful when they stepped out of the tub and didn't slip and fall on the garage floor because their feet were covered in oil. We had a few close calls for the guys slipping.


We had a great time at the party eating food and playing games, it was a blast.


Later in the week we got together with the Durrants and the Owens to carve pumpkins.  We set up tables in the garage and dug in.  The pumpkins all turned out great.   I wasn't able to get a picture of all the finished products as I took all the kids inside after a while to play and entertain them.  We had pizza and hung out after. It was a really fun night.




Then on Halloween I made mummy dogs for dinner.  We didn't take Mason out trick-or-treating because he can't say it, is really scared of strangers right now, and can't eat any of the candy he gets.


 But we dressed him up and took some pictures with our pumpkin and the candy bowl he loves to play with.



H was such a cute lion, I can't wait till next year when he can more fully enjoy the holiday and go out and tick-or-treat.  Happy Halloween!
