This saturday, the girls and I went to a classic Halloween block party! My friends Jill and Janet decided to throw the party at their houses. I quickly volunteered myself and Avery to do face painting. We made a sign with the designs that we thought we could handle. I didn't want some kid walking up and asking me to paint a a knight slaying a fire breathing dragon. Keep it simple, Man...Keep it simple!

| Mason was our first customer! Gotta love the purple sucker drool! |
Anyways, there were also some classic Halloween games....Bobbing for apples, ring toss, eating donuts off of a string without using your hands. Ok, so maybe not all of them were classic.

| Here's Avery "cheerfully" helping. |

| Addison bobbing for apples and mono....just kidding! |

The kids had such a good time. Everyone brought a bag of candy and a dessert, so there were plenty of treats.
 |
| One mom made these cute little owl cookies! The beak is a peanut half. |
The kids also voted for the best costume. A little girl named Laney won. I have to say, her costume was pretty cute!
One game that was fun to watch was where they had to find a gummy bear in a pile of pudding without using their hands. The kids really got into it!
Janet set up a "Gross" station. She had bowls filled with all kinds of things....intestines, tongues, skin, and teeth. The bowls were covered with a cloth and the kids had to put on a blind fold before they reached in to feel the items. It was really creepy and fun!

All in all, I think the party was a great success! It really brought back memories and reminded me of the importance of community and creating lasting memories for our children.
