Halloween Party 2013

Chas decided to have a small group of friends over to celebrate Halloween...

We had a ton of fun planning!

 

Yummy treats to eat...

 

 

 

 Practicing his moves before everyone arrives...

 

 

Giant spider web scavenger hunt...each friend had to collect colored strips around the web...

 

 

Ball fight!

 

 

 

Brooklyn escaping from all those crazy boys!

 

Time to eat!

 

 

 

Sword play...

  

 

 

 

Making a mummy cup to hold our snack mix...

 

 

Pin the leg on the spider...

  

No pics taken but we had a BIG pizza!

 

The next day we realized some balls escaped down the rain gutter...well, not a problem getting it open. HOWEVER, it would not close. Had to call the police...oops...lesson learned!

Some before pics of decorations...

 Tip your head...sorry!

 

Clean up was just as fun!

 

 

 

A little hockey...

 

 

 

Sleepover

This October Lori had to delivery baby Taylor early and unexpectedly....lucky us got to have the boys over for a sleepover! Chas' first! Needless to say, fun was had by all!

  

 

 

 

 

My boys are back!

My boys finally arrived home around 3 in the a.m..  Chas promptly situated himself in bed by me and fell asleep. A bit later he began making noises...I woke him up thinking it was a bad dream.  I said, "Chas, are you okay?" He responded, "Yes, Mom. I was just trying to laugh. I was having a dream."  I said, "Laugh? What were you laughing about?  He replied, "Oh, I was just hugging you so tight!"

Bow and Arrow

Santa brought a new bow and arrow. Nick and I looked around the yard and thought, here is a good spot. Those arrows aren't very strong, they will not dent the siding. So Nick demonstrated...

We were right...they do not dent the siding, they break it off. Ha ha ha! Oops.
