I feel like to pull off a successful holiday you either are tricking your self that it will all go smoothly or you have to do some amazing tricks to put it all together. Don't get me wrong I'm not a Scrooge I love holidays but since our family is ginormous it takes some serious effort.
This year we got pictures taken, had our Annual Halloween party with my Mom's family, kids got sick, went trick-or-treating, got into Halloween jammas, carved pumpkins and watched scary movies.
This year was probably the funnest year yet as far as Halloween goes. Graidy totally got the concept and was ready to get some treats and do any tricks he had to get them. Including becoming my "my biggest helper". We re-worded the Bob the Builder song and started singing "Can we clean it? Yes we can!" It totally worked, but he's to smart not to get rewarded too.
My friend over at Kelli West Photography took their pictures for Halloween (total stress reliever) and she did a contest and they tied for 1st place! I have some awesome friends and family who helped vote :)
The Halloween party is always a blast, the kids played BINGO, had a Scavanger Hunt, played the Doughnut Game, and did a Cake Walk. Graidy loves seeing all of his cousins and did not want them to leave.
As far trick-or-treating goes Graidy did not want to stop, would tell us "I need a break, I'll sit in the stroller" but by the very next house he was running up the to the door.
He is a very gaggy kid and does not like to have his hands dirty, he can be completely filthy but oh no not the hands! So he would say "Mom its okay to put my hand in the gooey stuff, right?" "Mom I'll just wash my hands in a minute" "Mom can I just have a wipe for my hands" Haha. At least he touched the stuff this year without having a heart attack.
