I don't know if you remember the
one we had last year. We decided to make it an annual thing this being our second year. I hope we can continue the tradition.
Even if it's just food, ending with "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" played on the side of someone's house.
It was so much fun. We switched it up a bit this year. Instead of just having it at our house, we had different things at the neighbors houses.
Food at Cannons, games at ours, crafts at Cindy's, treasure hunt at everyones, story time at Grays, movie at Maxfields. It was a nice change.
We had to split up the little kids and big kids due to game playing ability.
Here's a sample. oooooor, 18 thousand examples. of the night.
 |
| Homemade Chili mmmmm |
 |
| The littles. I didn't get a picture of them carrying pumpkins under their chin, or bobbing for marshmellows and some of the other things they did. Because I was too busy with the big kids. :( |
 |
Our sweet neighbor Carrie, who came over on her husbands birthday to help with the littles.
Love her. |

| Porter |

| Will molding the chewed up gum from his teammates to create a sculpture of Frankenstein |
 |
| Will's little bro Ben doing it for team #2 |

Jackson shooting Trix cereal into a cup held on your teammates head...out your nose. :)
Thus the hesitation holding the cup on his head. |

This game could have been more fun. One kid from each team put pantyhose on his head. One of the legs filled with flour. Then they try and swing their head to hit the other team player trying to see who ends up with the most flour all over them.
We ran in to some problems....we needed to make a knot in the leg with the flour before adding the flour. It was too long and just dragged on the ground. Next time. Always next time. |

Mommy Monster Makeovers.
Each family made over a mom.
The BEST time EVER to have an extra mom in your family. :) |

| While the littles were listening to stories and having a candy hunt in Lori's backyard. The big kids were running through the neighborhood having a treasure hunt. |
It really was lots of fun. We ended the night having a movie in Brittany's backyard wrapped up in blankets. My babies went to bed and didn't make it to the movie...but Cam, Spence and Syd all held out. They went to bed at 8:45 pm tonight. WOWza ! They Stayed up so late :) It felt like it to them with their 7:30 pm bedtime.
Already planning next years fun !!!
