Trick or Treat!

We had a nice Halloween this year. The day was full of events both at school and at home. Ashton teamed up with me this year and we went as Little Miss Muffet and the spider that sat down beside her. Daddy was death, and Thaddaeus was Prince Caspian.

You can't say Death doesn't have a sense of humor!

Here are the highlights...

I had the pleasure of volunteering at Ashton's class in the morning. I got to help all the kids decorate their pumpkin muffins before snack time. It was fun to meet all of them and see all the different personalities they already have. I of course was the only adult to dress up in the primary school class, for those of you who know me that well, this is a classic Jen move! I accompanied the class with other volunteers and teachers for their Halloween field trip to a near by assisted living home. The residents loved seeing all the costumes and hearing the songs the class had been practicing for this event.

Ashton got to attend Grandma Shannie's annual work Halloween Party that afternoon. He had a lot of fun trick or treating there. We followed our tradition of going to the Caspers' house and trick or treating. They live in a nice gated community that offers a secure, low traffic experience. We met up with Grandma Shannie and Ashton at the Casper's house to finish getting Ashton ready and take him and Thad out.

Here is Ashton letting me put on his face paint to make him extra spookie! He is a black widow spider. He helped sow the hour glass on his costume and cut it out all by himself. We bought this cheap spider costume at the store and then really altered it to make it a scary spider.
Daddy let me put on his face paint to make him look dead. We think it turned out pretty good! Very spooky! As you can see Shannon was getting creaped out.

After everyone was ready we hit the road and started the rounds. We had lots of fun trick or treating. I even got a couple of videos of the boys at some of the houses! Too cute!

Next we went to my co-worker's annual Halloween party at their home. We went last year and had a great time. The Reynolds always do a nice job of offering a family party where both the kids and adults have a good time.

As you can see Brian looks like a mild mannored appraiser, but get him mad and the green monster comes out!

His wife Katie was Medusa and tied snakes in her hair! I loved it! What a power couple hu!

With the Renolds great garden/backyard at our disposal we took the opportunity to stage a few fun shots!

Here is the Reynold's oldest son Max, he was a Viking!

We want to thank the Caspers & Reynolds for opening their homes to us, as always we had a wonderful time at both parties! Thank you to Grandma Shannie and Papa Scott for inviting us! Hope you all had a fun Halloween!
