Halloween Parties!

Friday was Party Day! Starting off at Austin's school, his class had their Halloween party. We had tons of parents to help and I think the kids had a great time. They got to make popcorn hands, wrap "mummies" out of their classmates and of course, eat lots of yummy goodies! Because apparently that just wasn't enough sugar and hype for one day, we also went to a friend's house to continue the Halloween fun. They made haunted houses, played some games, and of course, ate lots of yummy goodies :) It really was fun, for the kids and adults alike! Thank you Kaisers for a super party!

My helpful husband.... what would I do without him???

A & Ms Gordon

Making a haunted house is more of an art than a science!

A won one of the drawings to take one home! Yay???

Pumpkin Carving Night

Tonight, our PTO held our first annual Pumpkin Carving Night at Austin's school. It was tons of work getting everything ready for it, but oh what fun it was!! The kids brought gutted out pumpkins and then carved them at the event. We had Halloween music playing while the kids carved, ate goodies and played games. It was such a good turnout. Austin decided he wanted to do a skeleton pirate (shocker!) pumpkin, so we planned what all we would do and he did almost all of it himself. He did such a great job. He even won a prize (he helped me do the prizes so it wasn't a surprise what was in them, but he was still very excited!)! And in case you're wondering, it wasn't rigged! We had some guest judges, a few people from State Bank and Otto! Margo and boys were nice enough to join us and I think they had fun too!

Proof he did it (mostly!) by himself!

The finished product!

Trav's Elliott

All right, I'm including this picture on our blog b/c I was told I had to. I guess it is technically "our" blog so here you go Trav! As you can see (so sorry!) he got a four point buck while out hunting with Todd this week. Congrats Trav?? :)
