Halloween and Stuff

Last weekend we went to a Halloween party at my friend Heather's house . It was for the little kids, so she had jumbo the clown come to the party to entertain the kiddos. Some of the kids were scared of him but eventually warmed up. He made balloon animals or hats for everyone.

Stella and Jillian were dressed as cheerleaders at this party. They changed for each Halloween event! This was still at Heather's party.

Shannon even got Jumbo to make her a hat. I have a similar picture from 6 years ago at Heather's party with jumbo the clown. I would post it but that was pre-digital camera and I don't have a scanner. You'll just have to trust me on that one!

Jumbo doing his show. Not much different than 6 years ago. But the kids were all new kids ,mostly.

Hunter got in on his act.

Still part of the act. How cute!

We also got 'special' glasses in the goody bags. And glow in the dark vampire teeth!



Then during this past week at school we got to/had to mold the muscles of the face onto skulls with playdoh. It was a good learning tool to have to do that. I now know the muscles that I was assigned. Do you know where the corrigator muscle of the face is? I do! LOL

Every now and then we have to relax and just let loose. Playdoh can be fun!!

But sometimes we have to be serious and get down to the business. Those instruments are sharp, it would be dangerous to fool around with those things.

Halloween night was a blast. I made special treats for our get together. These are cake balls. Recipe courtesy of The Pioneer Woman

The eyeball ones were so cool. I was very proud of them. They were so yummy too!

The kids all dressed up and we walked around Shannon's neighborhood to trick-or-treat. Logan was a bear.

Hunter was an Ice Wolf Ninja. Minus the mask.

Stella was Dora the Explorer.

Jillian was Snow White.

Lucas was a dead guy. He was grossed out by his own costume. He doesn't like the blood and it made him queasy.

It was a fun week. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of all that candy with out the kids realizing that I'm throwing it away.....
