Halloween Fun!!

This year we had a long weekend because the kids were out of school on Friday. I decided to take full advantage of having them all at home. We started the weekend off with a Halloween party on Thursday night that our fun neighbors Peg and Rand Johnson threw for all the kids in the neighborhood. They fed all the kids dinner, had a fish pond and played a bunch of games. I think the kids were gone for at least a couple of hours. When they came home they couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had. On Friday night we had Brandon's parents over for a "spooky" candlelight dinner. They each sat down with their own menu and had to order two different courses. But what made it so fun was that they didn't know what they were ordering. On the menu we had things like: vampires delight, witches brew, cyclop eyes, fiery darts....I think there were about 11 things to choose from. They even had to order their own silverware. The kids LOVED it and thought that the witches brew (homemade rootbeer with dry ice) was totally awesome. It was so fun to watch Jacks try to eat his jello and ice cream with his knife. After our dinner the kids got to watch a scary Halloween show. They had a great time. Saturday morning was great too! The kids carved their pumpkins, played outside and got ready for trick or treating. We visited grandma great and then walked down main street in Springville to trick or treat at grandma's store. We only had time to hit a few stores but it ended up being just the right amount. After dinner the kids headed out and trick or treated with all their frineds around the neighborhood. The kids had a ball. It was so fun to see Braden get into it. It was the perfect weekend!
