Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween weekend! Ben started off with a carnival on Friday at school where he got to play games, get a few treats and enjoy some time with friends. On Saturday we got to go to Halloweeta. Halloweeta is a fun family event at Grandma and Grandpa’s in Coweta. Ben had prepared for it earlier in the week by hanging spider webs and making the place a little spooky. The grownups carved pumpkins while the kids went on a nature walk. There was lots of food and fun to be had. The kids had lots of craft projects that they enjoyed and they even got to decorate some Halloween cookies. The evening was finished with a costume parade and picture session. So much fun!

On Halloween Day, the kids had lots of events at school. Ben attended a trunk-or-treat and got way too much candy. :) He also had a party over lunch time with his class. Elizabeth had a party after naptime and enjoyed eating some special treats. Both kids got to wear their costumes all day and also paraded around the school for the other classes.

After school we ate a quick dinner and started getting ready to trick or treat. Elizabeth even wore her princess wig for the occasion. The kids looked great and loved going house to house. Ben commented on everyone’s decorations and was very eager to ring each door bell. Elizabeth requested a picture of herself with everyone’s decorations and then after politely thanking each person for candy she would squeal “Another house!” So she really got into it for the first time and both kids loved going around the neighborhood together. They also both enjoy answering the door and handing out candy so that is what we did next. Ben made sure to give each kid the same amount and was eager to open the door each time a new set came. He would also knock from the inside if he saw anyone on the sidewalk or street to encourage them to come up to our house. He was craving customers!
