halloween festivites

Halloween is a big holiday for us. We love it! It's been a busy day for us. I started the morning with a fun little food craft for the kids to do. They made spider cookies. I was actually very surprised that they didn't just start gobbling up the treats. Maybe it helped that I introduced it as body parts of the spider instead of calling it by it's real name. I called the frosting "glue" to glue the eyes (m&ms) on etc.

After the food craft, we had our halloween lunch and then went to a primary halloween party. Jack is a tiny ninja, Ginger is a angel and Gretchen is a little garden gnome. I could not get a good picture of Gretchen for the life of me. I think she was so excited once I put her costume on she was just on the go!

After the primary party we went to the pumpkin patch to run through the hay maze and go for a hay ride. After that we went home for some dinner and then back out to the trunk or treat at the church. whewf! I feel like I packed a weeks worth of activities into one day! Tomorrow we'll make finger puppets and caramel apples and then monday we'll go downtown for trick or treating.
