Happy- Happy- HALLOWEEN

PARTY_PARTY_PARTY is all I can say about this past week. Halloween is becoming my favorite holiday (less stress than Christmas?) like my girlies natti and bree...

Halloween Night- we started out at Grandma Marsha's, where it is always Scary Fun... The whole GANG- finally I get my boys just in time to get a family picture before the fun.

The night before, just girls: mom, grandma, Ang, Ash, and I went to WITCHAPALOOZA at Gardner Village for a dinner and show- Ashley was a hit, and even a part of the show:)

The witches took her up on stage to perform and she was in heaven. Love those girls

So fun to have my mom and grandma there- thanks for taking a night off pre-election, mom.

Of course, we had the Halloween Class Parties, which was crazy busy for me- Jonah had a Second Grade performance and seriously, it was so dang cute. Those teachers deserve a raise

I helped out in Jake's class where we did the Mummy Wrap game and prizes. The Fourth Graders were a kick- they are a great group. So fun to see the kids in their element.

My cute neighbor and I had a neighborhood halloween party- Look at her decor, she cooks like Martha Stewart just like she decorates. Reminds me of my Bree and Nat. The couples had a great night getting to know each other with wacky games and prizes...

Jake enjoying his party-

Ashley loves her school. She has a pet snake named "Corny", which we always love to visit

Alex was an elephant this year and what a fun kiddo he is...but not walking quite yet...

Chad hates to dress up. But this year I forced him to wear this Target beauty: WereWolf, which turned out to be a mistake for all the kids were in tears as he scared the heck out of all of them.

The boys were really into trick or treating this year- went three different neighborhoods

Daniel and Angie came up with this contraption- Daniel made this Huge spider (too bad it's too black in this pic) and this web, which was a hit at my mom's. SEriously, so creative and fun

Oh- and I ended up running the Halloween Half Marathon that morning last minute iwth a bunch of ladies in my ward...it was hilarious to see all the costumes while trying to run thirteen plus miles.

So much fun in so little time. Like I said before, Halloween is becoming one of my favorite holidays because it is simply fun. Love seeing my kids in their school plays, class parties and being their mom. Having Chad dress up this year was a blast. Parties galore. Only thing I missed this year, was getting together with my girlfriends- Now, if we could just keep the kids (and us adults) from eating all this candy...
