Last Monday night we had our second annual grandchildren Halloween party! Safe, Scout, Henry, and Haivyn all came for a party and sleepover. (Charlie and Merik are still too small to join us:)
We started out with dinner of mummy dogs, ghost cheese slices, chips and strawberries. After dinner the fun began with prizes from grandma. The kids each got a bag of "prizes" that I bought from the Dollar Store. From Halloween rings to stickers and paper to whining ghosts and witches. the kids had fun playing with there little toys. Next we pulled our baking skills out of our hats and decorated sugar cookies and doughnut hole mummies. The kids did a great job of decorating faces on their pumpkin cookies!
Next was grandma's favorite part......Hide and Seek! Oh my goodness! These cuties are so good at hide and seek. We all took turns hiding and finding. This was just super fun! The only accident was when Henry and Haivyn's heads collided as they were running to the couch:( After a little consoling we got back down to business hiding and finding!
Next was bath time! Grandpa took the boys and grandma told the girls. Not much playtime in the bath because we were all looking forward to MOVIE TIME!! We were excited to watch Homeward Bound with the kids and while Rafe was the ONLY one who sat through the whole thing we tried to keep everyone corralled in our bedroom while they half watched half played.
Next was bedtime. I took Scout and Henry and played in Henry's bed and told stories of when I was little. (Rick was doing the very same thing with Rafe and Haivyn in our bedroom). I would tell a story and the kids would come up with their version of the same story I just told them. It was totally cute. They both wanted to "tell a story" and it even got a little competitive between them. At times with both of them getting a little snooty saying, "It's MY TURN to tell a story."
Well, after we got our stories out I sang a couple of songs and BAM they were out! Me too! I fell asleep getting the kids to sleep and woke up when Skylar and Sarah got home!
What a fun tradition we have started with out littles! It's only gonna get funner as they get older!
