Halloween Festivities!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We have been celebrating Halloween all week long! Seriously I don't think there is anything more fun than having a 4 year old on Halloween! Every waking moment this week he has wanted to wear his costume and we have had plenty of opportunities to get dressed up! Let me give a quick background on the costumes! When I asked Ty what he wanted to be for Halloween he said a dinosaur--no surprise!! But where in Tillamook would I find a dinosaur costume? So I checked ebay--no luck! So I called Mimi and told her my dilemma and she headed straight to the Tooele Boutique (bless her heart!) There she found the perfect costume for my little Ty-Rex! But when we got it in the mail and tried it on it was too small (Even though it was a 4-6X I have one BIG T-Rex!) So I called again--Mimi saved the day and found matching fabric and I was able to sew some 'extenders' on the arms and legs! Thank you Mimi for all your help on the costume! I said to Ty "That is so cool that you are a Ty-Rex" And he corrected me and said "Actually Mama, I'm a carnatour!" I asked him what the difference was and he said, "Carnatours have horns, T-rex's don't!" So he is not just ANY dinosaur--he's a carnatour!! Mara's cute little costume came from a friend of mine in a bag of hammy-downs (Thank You Maryanne!)
Ty's favorite thing to do in his costume is chase the bunny and try to eat her!
"But Mama Carnatours love to eat bunnies!"

On Monday...
Here we are with our Art & Craft group. All the kids dressed up for a little Halloween Party!

At Art & Craft we decorated sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles. Then we did sidewalk chalk outside--it was actually warmer outside than inside the building!

My little bunny loves cookies!

On Tuesday...
We visited daddy at work and took the Hebo Ranger District employees a little treat! The kids were thrilled to see their daddy during the day and his co-workers were pretty excited about a yummy Halloween treat!
We were even able to have a picnic with daddy up at Hebo Lake during his lunch break! It was mighty chilly however but we didn't mind--it was well worth it to see Nate!!

All this fun makes any bunny tired!

Thursday...

Here we are at our friend's the Sables for a fun Halloween Party. We played a few games like pumpkin bowling and pin the legs on the spider. Sandra made a yummy pudding graveyard treat! Sandra has three boys--Quinton (who was dressed as Lighting McQueen, Tyson-the bumble bee, and Eli-the ladybug!)

Ty had a blast at preschool today at his harvest party. He said it was really fun and they played lots of games. Tonight we are headed to the church for our trunk-or-treat party.
