Halloween leftovers

I know most of you have moved on from halloween, but I just wanted to post some of the things we did over halloween weekend. We decided to head down to Grandma and Grandpa's house so that the kids could go to their trunk-or-treat at church on Saturday night, and that was a blast.  Then we came home Sunday morning, headed to church, and then after church we spent the rest of the afternoon/evening doing halloween activities and handing out candy.  We crammed a lot of activities in that night because there were a few things that we hadn't gotten to yet that just needed to be done before the day passed us by like...carving pumpkins, a halloween scavenger hunt, and decorating halloween cupcakes.  It was a fun night.

These are the halloween cupcakes the kids helped decorate.  They had fun putting sprinkles and oozing white frosting all over the place.  They turned out quite festive.

We shared with our neighbors.

This is what April was on Saturday night.  She ended up forgetting her doll so she just went as a pioneer girl instead of Felicity.

This is a game that I printed for Aaron to play for fun.  He liked it, but mostly just played his own way.  Found it at Prepared not scared!, they have lots of fun Thanksgiving games now.

We didn't do this on halloween night, we did it sometime earlier in the week, but here are some shots of eating donuts on a string.  Aaron found this much easier than bobbing for apples.

Aric gave up, he really just wanted to eat that donut. 

This was a fun fall activity, though very silly.

We also did cookie cutter painting with a bat, leaf, and acorn cookie cutter one evening before halloween

We like cookie cutter painting, Aric thought it was pretty neat.

And, we made a scarecrow one day.  They dressed their scarecrows up with a shirt, coveralls, a yellow hat, and some "hay".

Just an update:  We finally got our Toy Story 3 movie in the mail yesterday, and had a fun family movie night last night.  It was a good movie, and so nice to finally see the end!  We all enjoyed that movie.  The kids already want to watch it again.
