Four Little Pumpkins Sitting on the Steps

What a Halloween! We had some type of party every night this week. But it has been filled with fun, friends, family, food & I can't leave out CANDY tons of candy! Somehow I signed up for two of the kids parties at school. I thought I had spaced them out but obviously not so well. However because Abby & McKay are a.m.er's and Josies a p.m.er it worked out perfect. After the school parade I ran home finally got ready for the day and pulled together a game for party #2. We ate a little lunch & it was time to take off again. Party #1 started 10 min. after the Kindergarten parade. Josie was so happy. After the parade started, I took off for Ab's class party and we had a fabulous time!

They were so funny! I couldn't believe how many moms were willing to help out. I had moms who hadn't even signed up to help calling asking if they could come. Like I said fabulous!

Then off to Josies.

They were so cute. This was the first class "party" they'd had. It didn't take long for them to get how it worked. They were adorable. At the end of the party this cute little guy came up and hugged me and told me he loved me!

Halloween was crazy busy. My mom had a party for the grand kids. I was so far behind, Craig & I stayed home to try to catch up. {We didn't, but we got closer ;) } But the kids have talked about it non stop. It must have been a blast. From the sounds of it, I think Josie was mauling Eleanor. She doesn't seem to think that was why the dog had to have a timeout by itself in the bathroom, but I'm pretty sure it is. I also heard all about her adorable ballerina costume.

The night came faster then I thought possible. We were so lucky. Three of the girls from the tennis team, who had never had a true Halloween, came to go trick-or-treating with us. So we started off with our dinner tradition, hot soup. Next thing I knew, McKays friends came to pick him up to go trick-or-treating.

I about cried. 'Is he really that old? He can't be. He's friends are here to go together. Is he really not coming with us? He just can't be this old' I thought I'd better play it cool. I gave them all some candy, took there pictures, went over safety rules, and didn't even cry. On the way out the door, he did give me a kiss. He must have known, I still needed it.

The girls were great! Elle brought over the to die for cupcakes. So good. They were such good sports. From what I understand Meagan & Abby were having a great time. Liza carried Josie. And Elle. . .

Elle, was tagging along with Kimball. I guess he wouldn't even go to Craig. {I sacrificed & stayed in my warm house to hand out candy.} I hope these great girls had an amazing first true Halloween, because they helped make it amazing for us.

{doesn't he look exhausted!?}

p.s. I don't know how I didn't get a pic of Abby's loot. She must have been trying to be incognito, so we wouldn't hold it hostage.
