Halloween Fun Day!

Since we had a full, fun day planned for Halloween Day, I decided I should put new batteries in the camera. As I was putting the batteries in, Samantha kept saying "cheese" so I had to take her picture.We started off the day by going to the fall fest at the local YMCA branch. We were a little disappointed in it, there were only a couple of things for the kids to do.

The guy painted the Superman logo for him!

There was a Michigan State football player running the football toss game, so Marc got a lesson on how to throw a football.
After we left the YMCA, we went to Meijer to trick-or-treat. (Marc thinks it cool to trick-or-treat in the store). The kids got to pick out 2 pieces at each station.

There was a photo station set up at Meijer. Marc decided he was to look "spooky" for the picture.
At one of the candy stations, there was a cup of "spider parts" for him to create a spider. The "pieces" were an Oreo cookie (body), pretzel sticks(legs), and white chocolate chips and frosting (eyes). It turned out really cute...and yummy too!
When we got home from Meijer, my older boy decided he wanted to play with some dry ice. these are a few picture of the "kids" playing with dry ice.

After playing with dry ice, it was time to decorate our pumpkins. We had some small pumpkins, so the kids had fun painting those.
It took Samantha a few minutes to warm up to the idea, but in the end, I think she had a lot of fun...and it turned out really pretty.
Marc dove right in and painted 2 pumpkins!
We carved the big pumpkin. I drew a face on it and then Daddy carved it. We asked Marc to help take the "guts" out. He thought it was gross!

After pumpkin decorating, eating, and a nap, Samantha was ready to go trick-or-treating!
My Dad & Peggy came over to spend Halloween with the kiddos. When it was time to go trick-or-treating, they surprised us all by coming upstairs in their own costumes!
For Marc's first time trick-or-treating, we took a picture of him with our neighbor friend, Johna. We decided that this year was Samantha's first time tick-or-treating in the neighborhood (last year we were in Disneyland), that we should take the same picture.
Needless to say...the kids got more candy than we could possibly eat without getting a tummy ache!
A fun night was had by all! :)
