Happy Halloween!!!

We all gathered together for chili at our house this evening before getting ready to go trick-or-treating!!!

Maw Maw helped Ollie transform into Squidward!

Ivy really got the hang of trick-or-treating and liked getting all the candy. She did a practice run at our house!
Squidward!!!!





Squidward's eyes would not stay in the right spot because his head is so big. He went trick-or-treating for most of the night without the head on. Oh well it was still so much fun! He got lots of candy (for a 5 yr old)!

Ghouls in the Garden & Carving Pumpkins

Today we went with John & Paula to the Botannical Garden for their annual Ghouls in the Garden. Ollie wanted to wear his Spiderman costume so he could save his Squidward costume for tomorrow (the big day)!!! They had alot of stations where kids could get candy and see some spooky people! We left a bit early because Ollie wanted to come home and play with Tyler before we left. When we got home around 3 Tyler was still asleep!

Check out the red water!!! Go Cardinals!! They won the World Series on Friday night!


Looks like Swiper swiped a piece of licorice!
It is nearly impossible to get a good picture of both of them!
While we were leaving we saw a hawk of some kind that was sitting on it's food. He had a squirrel in his grasp and the squirrel was not quite dead yet. It was quite a sight!
Ollie got Tyler to wake up and we started carving pumpkins in the evening!
Ivy loved scooping the goop!
I poked about a million holes trying to carve an Incredible Hulk pumpkin! Oh the things I do for Ollie!
Still poking holes!
Ivy is helping to separate the seeds. She ate about 3 seeds before they were cooked - I hope a pumpkin does not grow in her tummy!
Finally I cam cutting the Hulk pumpkin!

Say Pumpkin!!!
Can you see the Hulk? I think it turned out pretty well!

Halloween Parties!!!

Friday afternoon was the Fall Party at Ollie's school. Me & Maw Maw got to go and help with Ollie's party!

They painted pumpkins,

and Maw Maw painted their faces,

they played games,
and had cupcakes for snack!
Then it was time to come home and get ready for our Halloween Party on Saturday!
Ollie & Kevin had to test out the games!
Saturday morning Ollie got his Squidward costume on and we went to the TMM 5K Race. I beat my practice time by 5 min while pushing Ollie in the stroller! I made it in 30:42. I came in 2nd and Erin came in 3rd!! Whoo hoo! Then we had a TMM BBQ for lunch. Then we had to rush home and set up for our party!
Look it's Dora & Swiper!
Apple bobbing!
Face painting!
Andrew finally got an apple!!!

Kevin & Erin made up scary boxes with gross stuff in them! Blood & Guts, Skin, Eyeballs, etc!

Time for cupcakes and other snacks!




Malik was a little late but he got to stay and play awhile! They haven't seen each other in a few months and they were so excited to see each other!


What a fun but exhausting day!!!
