Since it's almost Thanksgiving, I figured I should finally post Halloween pictures... ;0)
We carved our pumpkins the night before, like usual. And like usual, Lily loved it.....
She even got gloves and still didn't like getting the insides out!
The boys have no problem getting all that gunk out!
Once the pumpkins were clean, they started carving!
Lily's happy faced pumpkin:
Riley's skull with flames:
And Zach's pumpkin with symbols from Wizard 101:
The next day was Halloween!!
Lily was a beautiful peacock:
Complete with peacock feathers on the back of a tutu that her cousin Rachel made:
Always needing to be scary, Riley was this guy:
Lily & Emma:
Emma as Cinderella & David as an adorable lion:
And Zach as an executioner:
This was Zach's last year to go trick or treating. :0(
We all went trick or treating along with some friends of ours. They got a ton of candy and had a lot of fun!!
Last week, we had a treasure hunt with the cousins at my parents' house. Since there is such a large age range (1 year old to 12 years old) I decided to break them up into groups. The first group was David (1), Emma, Ceri, & Brigid (all 3). Then Lily, Johnny, and Ares (all 8). The next group was Riley & Alyssa (both 10), and finally Zach & Taby (both 12). Each group got a clue to find their next clue, where they would find the next clue, and so on. I had the clues make the kids go inside and outside and some went into the basement. I think they all had a lot of fun & they all got a "treasure" at the end!
They all did a good job working together!
These cuties all got bubbles:
These two got gummy bears:
The oldest kids got chips:
And these 3 got Kool-Aid drinks:
It's always fun to hang out with cousins!!
Last Wednesday, we had a Glow In The Dark Game Night! I got all kinds of glow in the dark things for a fun night event!
We all went to my parents' house at dusk to set up the games.
We had glow in the dark spinning tops:
(I got these at Dollar Tree)
Glow in the dark bowling:
(Water bottles with glow sticks in them)
Glow in the dark ring toss:
(Glow necklaces for rings & glow sticks for the pole)
And the older boys decorated the basketball goal with glow sticks!!
There was also a glow in the dark obstacle course, but I didn't get pictures of that. It was just glow rings that they had to run through & a giant glow stick to jump over.
I found these cool glow balloons at Walmart:
Everyone got glow necklaces, bracelets, and rings too!
(The rings came from Target, and all of the sticks and bracelets were from either Target, Walmart or Dollar Tree.)
After all of the games, they played glow in the dark tag. The person who is "it" takes their glow stuff off, and everyone else keeps theirs on. When the person who is "it" tags someone, then that person has to take their glow stuff off and is it, and the other person gets to put their glow stuff back on.
Later on, after we got everything all packed up, and headed home, I looked in the back set and saw this:
It was a giant glow fest back there!
