Thanks guys for a great night!


DRUWS PRESCHOOL HALLOWEEN PARTY

Vampire Druw with Butterfly Mrs Morgan
Cute cousins and best buddies!
I was able to a be a PARENT HELPER for the party.
It was so much fun listening to the kids sing their fun Halloween songs,
play fun games at different stations around the room,
and watching them decorate and devour their sugar cookies and soda!
I'm so glad I was able to be there!
CARVING PUMPKINS
This was McKynlees first time experiencing carving pumpkins...
She LOVED it!
What can I say my girl like to get messy! :)
My camera died and I didn't have my charger so Iwasn't able to take pictures of
the final product of the carved pumpkins but McKynlees was a Cat
Druws was a Warewolf, mine was a Pumpkin cat and moon
and Nates was the Atlanta Braves logo.
They turned out awesome!
HALLOWEEN DAY
Druw was DARTH VADOR
McKynlee was a cute little KITTY CAT
DARTH VADOR + KITTY CAT= two cute kids!!! :)
The kids waiting anxiously to go out Trick or Treating....
...The kids attempting to go out Trick or Treating but
the adults unsure of those mean looking storm clouds SO....
We decide to turn around get some umbrellas and the second we stepped back into the garage it was an instant HAIL down pour! It was CRAZZZZZYYY!!!
(I tried to upload the video I took of it but I was having trouble)
So we just came back to my house hung out then waited for the storm to pass then took the kids out QUICKLY around the block!
(ADULT) ALICE inWONDERLAND SCAVENGAR HUNT
(Unfortunately I didn't have my camera.... but this was so much fun!!!)
We went in a group of 6....
Nate and I were Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
(not hard to guess who was who right??....
Hey.... be nice...
I know what you were thinking...
Nate really IS alot smarter than he portrays himself to be.. he he :)
Josh was Cheshire the Cat and Jen was the beautiful Queen of Hearts
Lindsey was Alice and Eddie was the Mad Hatter
We looked so freakin' awesome! (Pictures to come)
(Hint Hint: JEN I SO NEED COPIES OF YOUR PICTURES :)
There were clues set up all around Provo and Orem
at different places like Fat Cats, Beam Musem Orem City Center etc...
Our team rocked the house and we won the whole thing!
There were twenty teams competing which came out to be close to 100 people.
It was a BLAST
