I don't really know what my draw to Halloween is, but I feel so motivated every year to make sure that it is a super fun and memorable day for the kids...even though we've moved several times over Halloween season. This year we had all sorts of puzzles, word searches and mazes to do during school time, masks and pumpkins to decorate and ring the glow-stick on the pumpkin to play.
We also had a special lunch of Kiwi Monsters, Mummies and Skull Juice (kool-aid with dry-ice).
Because we were moving and I wasn't feeling up to sewing anything, we bought used costumes this year. Ruthie the witch with her spider face paint.
Claire the fairy with her face paint and home-made hair clippy-doo.
And Wolverine William with homemade claws. Halloween night we went to the Parker's house to have a lovely meal (with Brian's family as well) and send the kids off trick-or-treating in their neighborhood. The kids got the most candy I've ever seen while the men answered the door for trick-or-treaters and the ladies did gel nails.
