Happy Halloween

Halloween was good to my little monkey and two recon commandos (that's what I'm calling their camo polyester jump suit that was made only for skinny kids...not a big fan of the "outfit"). I volunteered to help with the 1st grade party (1/2 way through my hours!) and will help with Lucas' Christmas Party. The first graders said it was the best party ever...I think they need to raise their standards. They had pizza and decorated cookies. We did relay races with candy corn and more races that involved digging through "brains" for spider rings. Then a marathon game of hot pumpkin that came down to Logan and Natalia. Natalia won. What a gentleman that Logan is, letting the lady win. Then they played freeze dance. To my surprise Logan actually played and made it down to the final 5. Didn't really think he would go for it. He has his Mama's dancing skills...before beer! The evening was not full of trick or treating from door to door since there is too much space between doors in our neighborhood. Instead we went to the SVdP Trunk-or-Treat. It was our first time. While our trunk wasn't very tricked out, we did give out a lot of treats. Next year we will definitely have to take more. They got the perfect amount of candy...not too much so it won't last forever but enough to make them happy. Several of their buddies were there so after making a couple of laps of the parking lot they ran around and played on the playground. The boys crashed early watching Star Wars.
