Halloween Craziness

We started off our crazy Halloween weekend with a little kid party!  Sooo fun- and I loved that the parents were all there enjoying the festivities too!  Sandy (the host) is a kindergarten teacher and had everything all laid out.  I'm sure she had her lesson plan somewhere...  :)  Games!  Crafts!  Food!  Oh my!!  A total blast!
I know this picture isn't really that great, but I wanted to point out the kids' super cute Halloween tees Heather made!  Aren't they darling?!  Oh friends--- you just wait til you see the Thanksgiving ones!!!!
Saturday we had a Halloween themed birthday party for Mak's lil gal-pal, Isabelle.  Yee-haw!!  A cowgirl at heart, that one.
Then we hosted DAM Club over here at our house.  It is SOO FUNNNNN to see these kids grow together.  They're darling- and look at them in their costumes!!  It's just too much!
Makenna had yet another Halloween party to attend on Sunday afternoon with her beau, Jax.  Mandy outdid herself- I mean...A.dor.a.ble.  Makenna thoroughly enjoyed herself for a few hours away from Mommy, Daddy, and Bennett.
And so it was off to bed to rejuvenate for the next morning!  The Halloween party at school with her classmates!  They had a parade, made candy necklaces, bowled with pumpkins, and dressed up their teachers as mummies.  Too cute! 
 Ms. Tiffany is the director, and lil Audrey is another classmate.  They all three make such cute Dorothy's!
 "I'm not your mummy- I'm your teacher!"
Finally, we have trick or treating!!  It's fairly anti-climatic, don't you think!?  After having all these parties and social gatherings!? ...

We were lucky to have wonderful weather. The kids couldn't wait and really, who am I kidding. I couldn't either. I love a good time. Makenna and her little girlfriend up the street, Ava led the way and the little brothers followed. It didn't take Bennett long to get the hang of it either! He'd say, "cheat cheat" and then try to run as fast as could (in a lion's costume with big puffy feet!) up to the next door with the girls. They are so great. And we are so lucky.

Most of the Wizard of Oz cast! :)
 Just Us.  Halloween 2011
 Little Bubby at Aunt Ruthie's and Uncle Ryan's house...he knew what to do!
 He's the roughest, toughest, meanest, lion around the KC area.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!  (Yea, right. :)
