We started our Halloween celebrations off on Thursday for Brecken, with the libraries Halloween costume parade. We invited cousin Tynlee and got all dressed up and ready. We love our library and all the fun things they do each week for the kids. Brecken goes once or twice a week to the library to story time and has a blast. We started out listening to a Halloween story, then it was off to parade around the library to show off our costumes. Then we headed back into our party room to play some fun games. We played pin the spider on the web. We also did the Cupcake walk. Both of the kids got a cupcake on that one. We did pumpkin bean bag toss, and then decided we were done. The next day Friday I had to help out in Shaylee's class party. I was in charge of Halloween Freeze Dance. The kids loved this…(well mostly the boys). Some of the girls were a little more Shy about it. Of Course. I sure love meeting the kids friends, and teachers, and helping out in the classroom when I can. Friday afternoon in between Soccer Practices, and Parties, we got our pumpkins all cleaned out and ready to carve that night with family. We sure had fun carving the pumpkins. We had Grandpa and Grandma Eves, Aunt Stephanie, and Uncle Devin and Aunt Lisa's family. We had a lot of fun, and I realized yet again like every year. I hate carving pumpkins. I did Brecken's and he insisted on…wait for it…..balloons. So I went to work on some balloons for his pumpkin. It looks more like some type of face with the two eyes and a nose, but it's the thought that counts and he loved it. Saturday we woke up and went and had Breakfast with the family at the Eves house. We then headed home to get ready for soccer games. Preston and Shaylee both played today. Both teams ended with ties. We got done and home around 4 from Shaylee's and started to get everything ready for Halloween that night. We had a blast going around with Brecken. He would go up and say Trick or Treat, and then Thank you. So polite. We are in such a little area where we Trick or Treat that we let the other kids go by themselves. We ran into them regularly and Addison ended up staying with us and helping Breck and cousin Tynlee. We finished up and headed in for some warm Chili, and donuts. We had so much fun, and were so glad we have parents who still live in our old neighborhood so we can go back trick or treating. The kids costumes were quiet easy this year. Since so many people put in so much work from last years props and costumes we kept it the same, but just had the kids dress up. So they all stayed the same, and we had Brecken be Peter Pan. (Preston's old costume), but that evening he was an Archer to go along with the theme.
We started off
