::we are the waltons::: Happy Halloween!!

I used to hate Halloween, however I find I am liking it more and more each year. Partly, I'm sure, because the kids are gettin older and also because we have been throwing parties on Halloween night! I love having people over :)

Before the party began, Doug took the kids to see Michelle and Tony, Auntie Jo and Uncle Trev, and Dragan and Maja. The kids wee so excited to FINALLY get into their costumes.

Squishy monster/ Iron Man

The party guests arrived at 6 and we took the kids out trick or treating. It was insane!! Haha! We took out 11 kids, all 5 and under. The kids were having such a blast.

We were out for about an hour before we headed back to our place. The kids each picked a treat from their treat bags, Melissa made some healthy snacks (boo-nanas and witches brooms), Nickie brought some yummy punch and then we played games!

Bobbing for apples

Donuts on a string

We also played 'pin the eyes on the monster.'

With a few donuts left, some of the boys got a chance to show off their donut on a string eating skills. It was TOO funny!!

Notice Sam smooching it up against Doug's head. Bahaha!!!

The kids were hilarious while this was happening! They were all crowed around, cheering their Daddy on!! Nola gave Doug a great big hug after and told him she was proud. Haha!

And no party is completely without a dance party. I think we are all raising a group of ravers....

Halloween party highlights

- John was extremely protective of his candy basket and his treats. He was also very stealthy and ate WAY too much junk, including a regular size mars bar.

- when calling the kids upstairs for the dance party, Bitty calls out 'Let's get this party started!!' Haha!

- Melissa's amazing pregnant mom dance. I am still laughing!!

- Deanna's costume. Bahaha!! Grumpy cat!

- John and Uncle Clint had 'rawr'-ing battles :)
