The week before Halloween, we were invited to a friend's Halloween party and all 3 of us dressed up, Derek was Zorro, I was a Renaissance princess, and of course Cassie was Minnie. We had a good time playing relay games, and bobbing for apples, with the other couples and their kids.
Then for playgroup, the day before Halloween, the kids had a Halloween party. Cassidy and I were in charge of the cake walk. I had fun decorating cupcakes for the party. At the party, Cassidy sure tried to be a big girl and follow the other kids on the cake walk. It was cute when she would suddenly stop and hold up traffic, little by little she got the hang of it. :) At the party they had a coloring table and Cassidy enjoyed coloring her pumpkin with her friend Hannah.
On Halloween day, Cassidy and I spent the afternoon playing together at a place called Pump it Up. It's an indoor playground of inflatable slides, climbing walls, tunnels, etc. We had a ball together, Cassidy and I would go down the big slide many times and it was super fast. The best part was playing chase and we would laugh as we each took turns falling down. We practically had the place to ourselves. Cassidy probably thought her mommy was pretty silly. After spending some time there it was time to go home and take naps to get ready for the big night.
First we had Trunk or Treating at the church. What a cold night! At least it wasn't snowing. Our little mouse enjoyed holding her pumpkin all by herself and was excited to watch as candy would be dropped into her pumpkin. It was neat to see all of our nursery kids dressed up too. After Trunk or treat, we invited friends of ours, the Aragons, to come over to our neighborhood and continue the fun of trick or treating. Derek stayed home to pass out candy while Lisa and I took the girls trick or treating. We saw some cool, decorated, houses. Us moms realized trick or treating was more for us than for the girls, the girls just went along for the ride. We were having so much fun and didn't want the fun to end. Finally, we decided to call it a night and head back home to have some hot chocolate. Let's just say we had candy coming out of our ears. Mario (Lisa's hubby) joined us as soon as he got off of work.
Our week of Halloween was filled with lots of excitement, entertainment, candy, good company, and more candy. It was a great Halloween!
