Halloween 2010 proved to be very interesting! As usual, Halloween turned into a several day celebration.....I have noticed that when you have kids this happens.....every holiday/birthday turns into a multi-day celebration!! Oh well.....they are only little once.....and mine are just about not that little anymore!! :( We started our pre-Halloween celebration on the Thursday before the actual holiday with a Trunk or Treat at our school sponsored by the CharacterPLUS committee. The school board members served a freewill donation chili supper while local organizations and businesses sponsored a Trunk or Treat in the gym. The varsity girls' basketball team set up a haunted stage for kids to go through! It was a fun evening!!
However, the holiday got hijacked later on that evening when Morgan and Marshall began vomitting at 10:45 and 11:30. The boys and I spent most of the night up and down vomitting while I tried to figure out a way to handle the situation. Sick kids in the middle of the night was not going to go well with getting up and being at work at 6:00 a.m. in the morning. My mom wasn't available, so I closed the daycare.....which really spoiled the plans for our Halloween party.....but what can you do....sick kids need their mommy!!
Maggie was fortunate enough to be well, so she got to go to school Friday and celebrate with her classroom party!! Last year, she dressed up as Mommy for Halloween so this year, she decided to go as Daddy! She looked really cute in her carpenter garb!!
By Saturday morning, the boys were doing better and Morgan went deer hunting for the first time ever!! However, he had a crummy weekend and didn't get a deer, but he is waiting for the regular season so that he can try his hand again!! Say a prayer that he gets a deer.....he is really excited!!
Sunday evening, we headed to my brother's family's house for our annual Trick or Treating frolic. We have been trick or treating with them since Morgan was little. We gather at their house and eat supper (usually pizza) and then trick or treat their street and the next street over! The kids have a super time!
Below are some pictures of the kids and one crazy lady in costumes!
Oh look!!! It's Aunt Andi with Alli's stem on her head.....isn't she cute!?!?
By Sunday night, Maggie had tired of wearing the carpenter's tool belt and was ready to dress up like Mommy again.....
Morgan wasn't feeling well on Sunday night and instead of wearing his Percy Jackson costume which granny worked really hard on for 10 minutes to make he borrowed this Yoda mask to make trick or treating with Alli more fun!!!
