Halloween Party

The day after getting back from Pennsylvania was Halloween! Oh my. What a way to return home. There's nothing normal about Halloween. The kids were a little nuts with excitement and I had to provide drinks for the 1st grade class party. I thought Levi and I had agree on a green punch that we'd call "Bug Juice" but the night before the party he declared it had to be blood red. Ok! I was up to the challenge. :-)

The party was fun - Levi's got a fun class that was ready to have fun but were also patient and good listeners. 

 Levi, aka KC Chiefs player #13, and his classmates had fun with the games that were organized for them. Levi took the candy walk game very seriously.

 Actually, all the kids did! They concentrated on stepping on the squares they were supposed to and were careful to listen for when the music stopped.

 They were even patient while they had to wait for their turn at the next game!

 Ring toss was a hit. And who doesn't want a juice box as a prize?!

 Snacks were cupcakes with plenty of creepy, crawly critters on the table.

 Levi decorated the orange cups with googly eyes weeks before the party and was proud to serve blood red punch in them to all his friends. The punch was simply strawberry lemonade with strawberry Fanta mixed in. It was entirely too sweet for my taste, but it was the best I could do shopping in our little grocery store on the day of the party!

 He even managed to eat his cupcake with his helmet on. Ha!

And...I never got a photo of Noah in his costume. I know, parent of the year award for me! He decided to dress up as a Goessel baseball player.
Halloween evening was chilly, but we put a couple extra layers on and headed for town. We quickly met up with some friends and by the end of the evening we were a group of almost 20! The boys ran up and down the streets with their friends and after quite a while we all decided it was late, dark and cold so our Halloween came to an end.
