The kids really enjoyed making chocolate Halloween suckers this fall:
green withes, oranges pumpkins, purple vampires & castles, white ghosts & skulls. They had even more fun delivering them to neighbors. Yummy!
Eric helped the kids carve a spooky ghost while I was at a baby shower the other night. Great job! Notice it was too cold for Mackenzie to step on the porch for the picture so she's peeking out the window.
Halloween Carnival: The kids had a blast at the Upward Carnival this weekend: bouncy houses, slides & especially the inflatable challenge course where they could race each other while climbing walls, running over hurdles, etc. Scott & Caroline also battled each other while standing in a wrestling ring, on pedastools, holding these huge batons trying to push each other off the pedastool. It was crazy fun & I think Eric really wants to rent one of those for his next birthday. It was really cool, though I don't think I'd want anyone knocking me around with that huge baton. Anyhow, there were tons of games & candy, face painting & balloon tie-ing, cotton candy & popcorn. Good times!
After Football & cheerleading games and a few hours at the carnival, most of us were pooped & ready to head home, but, Mackenzie was still up for a hayride, so we squeeze in one last activity before heading out. She loves hayrides!
