Happy Halloween 2011

First I can't believe it is halloween time already.  Last year halloween was a blur to us.  It was the day that we got back in town from Jalinn's decompression surgery.  It has been a year since her surgery and I can't believe all the milestones that she has hit with the help of surgery and PT, OT and speech.  It amazes me everyday!! 

Happy Halloween!!! I hope everyone had a fun and safe halloween!!!

Give me more candy!!!!

Halloween Party 2011

The girls have been bugging us for the last couple of years to have a Halloween party.  The hubby finally gave in this year.  They were all so excited!!  We told the girls that they could invite 3 to 4 friends each and as you can see from the pictures that didn't happen.  More girls showed up.  We needed up for 19 kiddo's.  The party was a blast. 

I made some yummy treats: grave yard brownies, eyeballs and blooding toes.  The kids loved the grave yard brownies.  Thanks to my mom for coming over and helping out on getting the party ready. 

Years ago Jason got a train horn from a job site he was on.  We have used it a couple of different times on halloween but since we moved we haven't used it at all and he was itching to use it.  He set it up so everyone anyone was walking to the door the horn would go off.  It took all the kids by surprise and they all jumped.  When a new car would pull up all the kids would look out the window to see the next kid jump. 

Our friends Amy and Bill wanted to scare the kids more so with that we got all the kids in the living room and while Amy was reading them a scary story in the dark Bill came around the corner and scared the kids.  It was so funny to see all 19 kids take off running. 

We played a few games but mostly they all danced and had a lot of fun.  By the end of the party my ears where ringing from the screaming all mostly all girls.  But in the end it was a great party.

Thanks to all the parents that let their kiddo's come over and hang out with us.
