Halloweekend

This weekend was jam packed with Halloween fun.
It started I suppose with Hadley having Orange day at school on Friday.  Wearing clothes with orange on them and bringing in an orange toy for show and tell.  She also brought in an orange cookie snack to share with the class.
Then Saturday I spent most of my day just hanging out with my kids with a little afternoon kid free time (Brian watched them) to clean out the silicone from the tub which will get re-sealed in about an hour.  (10 pm... I know!).
In any case Saturday was a full day as the night was spent at at the kids safety village.  We dressed up the kids and met up with some of the mommy group kids to wander around the small buildings on pretend streets to go trick or treating.
Today we got up early to have our annual Halloween mommy group gathering.  Everyone was there.  We decided with our large numbers that $13 per family was a great price to rent out the rotary park pavilion.  This way we could talk, eat, get our picture and then have the kids play in the park.  Plus we had a rain plan.  The big perk though was that nobody had to prepare for such a big group in their house now that we all have two kids.  
I think it was successful and we plan to rent out a pavilion for Christmas if there is still one available.
Tomorrow is Halloween so more stories to come about that...

Hadley made a pinnate and we filled it with Halloween Candy.  Each person got two swings and Ethan finally broke it open.  Hadley wished it was her that broke it but totally understood how it worked.
