Halloween Day 2012!!!

We had a fantastic Halloween this year! (Much better than last year when mom couldn't get off the couch, eat a single piece of candy, or go trick-or-treating due to pregnancy illness!)  This year I made up for it I hope and really enjoyed some activities with the kids ALL day!!!

First on the list!  Ghost Toilet Paper bowling!!!

Kids wanted to make scary faces first!

 Saying "cheese" for mommy!

Cash got really into it and got the hang of it quickly!


 Griffin tried too - sometimes his ball took a little longer to get there! lol!


 Notice where the tennis ball is here!  Can you find it?!  Thankfully didn't hit Ivy in the head, and she enjoyed bouncing and watching all the action!


 Their big cheerleader!  1st Halloween!

Cash teaching Griff how to re-stack the pins, and Griff in action after a great throw!




Griff trying to stack them, Cash helping him learn it wasn't quite right but getting close!
Ahhh! Back to the correct way!


 Cash had his piano lesson with me today as well and played his VERY FIRST song ever!  It was even titled "Halloween" if that isn't fitting enough!  He was so awesome!  I couldn't have had a prouder mommy moment during the day!  Almost made me cry I was so excited!  Watch the videos below to hear it!!!  He is loving piano and it is so much fun teaching him!



Then it was cookie decorating time - as if we didn't have enough sugar in the day planned already!!!  The boys had a great time using M&M's, pumpkins, choc chips, and sprinkles to do up the pumpkins, ghosts, cats, and bats!!!  Scary faces again!


 Looking to Cash to see what to do for a scary face!

 Copycat!

Hands up!

I said say "boo" on three!  Griff thought it was "peek-a-boo!"  Such fun times with my boys!


Their first cookies - Cash is on left - Griff is on right!  How many pumpkins and candies can you fit on one cookie?!

 Trick-or-treat time and Cash wanted me to dress up again too!  So we did!  Front porch pictures before going out to get the loot!!!


 Trick-or-Treating is MUCH harder out here with all the hilly neighborhoods, and lots of houses not participating - you actually have to work hard to get all your treats!  But the boys had a great time!  Here Griff watches as he was too afraid of the spider to go get the treat!


Looking on again deciding if he wants to go too!

Ok, not to scary, I guess I'll climb the stairs for a candy!

 Happy Halloween!!!!
