Happy Halloween

I got to help in both of the kids' classes this year! We had a great time in Hayden's class. I helped them make spider crackers for their treat. The kids all seemed to enjoy them. They also had a story, game and a craft. Hayden couldn't wear his mask to school so he was a vampire instead. When we walked out of School together the weather felt perfect and there was a little breeze going with the leaves all falling and all the kids in their costumes. Hayden looked around and said " it really looks like Halloween today!" and it did :)
In Porter's class I was in charge of the craft and my neighbor and I used this slime recipe that she had for it. I turned it into a potion that Porter's Grandma "the witch" gave me (she was born on Halloween, so she always claims to have a little witch in her) ;) . The kids thought it was so funny to mix ghost boogers (glue) and goblin blood(green colored water) with spider eyes(borax) and ghost pee(water). Really cute. This is Porter with his friend Danner dressed as spideys. Apparently they wear the same thing often and the teachers couldn't get over that they had the same costume on.





This is Porter's Best Friend Mairyn, she is also our neighbor. They are a cute pair. The tallest and the shortest in the class.




Then it was time to go trick or treating. The boys all looked great. However much I hated Hayden's costume it made him happy for the night. He just kept saying.."Halloween is supposed to be about scary stuff mom". Whatever.








Owen as a cute little lizard, dragon, dinosaur thing. Whatever you want to call it. He even got called a Hippo... but I'm not sure I see that.



Porter as Spidey. He loves this costume and actually wears it on a regular basis. Cutie.



Hayden dressed as Jason from Friday the 13th. Did you notice the bloody knife. Oh yeah, he's authentic. Halloween is supposed to be scary...Halloween is supposed to be scary. He's just growing up to fast.






We Had a Great Halloween!!!
Great Friends, Great Costumes, Great Candy
And Great Weather!
Great Night!

I love the lizard, dragon costume thing. That is funny that it has no offical name. And Jason really, why do they have to like to be scary and spooky so young. Can't they want to be cute cuddly things forever. They look great thought. You should received an official invite to my blog by email BTW.
