This year Halloween was a week long process. We had parties all week and every day Logan would ask which parties he got to go to that day. Finally when all the fun was over Logan still wanted to talk about the parties and find out if there were any more that I had been hiding from him.
The week started out at a fun filled evening at the Miner house. JJ had yummy food and fun games for all of us to enjoy. It was fun to see all our cousins in their costumes this year even though the costumes only lasted for the first five minutes and then it was time to eat. Costumes were stripped and makeup was smeared as we enjoyed the meal. Making Rich and Erik mummies out of toilet paper was the first fun activity. Rich made a great mummy. Then bobbing for apples was the highlight for the older cousins and even Matt got into the fun of it. I was impressed that Logan even snagged an apple by finding the stem of the apple. I think all the kids enjoyed dipping marshmellows in carmel and sprinkles. Eating them was the best part though. We had a great time.
Next was the Poulson Halloween party on Wednesday at my mom's house. The games and activites didn't stop all day and by about 4:00PM I was pooped. I took advantage of having other adults around to keep an eye on my kids and crashed on the couch for an hour or so. We had a great time and again the costumes only lasted a short while and then it was time to hunt for eyeballs in green slime and eat witches hands and skeleton cheetoes for lunch. After carving pumpkins, making spiders, and decorating cookies with as much candy as one could fit on a single cookie (Logan's strategy) we were finally worn out. Both Logan and Chase sacked out on the way home.
Thursday Logan got to dress up in his costume for preschool and take a treat. He came home with a sack full of goodies and a huge smile on his face. (He always comes home from preschool happpy.) That night our ward had a huge Halloween bash with food, fun and games. The best part was the trunk or treat where the boys scored all their candy.
Finally we get to Friday which was thankfully for me a mellow day with trick or treating at a few houses on our street and a visit to the Thomas family to play with cousins for a short while. Halloween was fun and I'm glad we got such good use out of our cute costumes but boy was it an exhausting week for mom.
