....so I managed to frost about 50 cupcakes today, go to the bank, Taco Bell, Wal-Mart, Albertsons, Sally's Beauty Supply, help Connie decorate for tonight and get home by 3 pm to get dressed and the kids ready for trick or treating! Ben wanted to help decorate the cupcakes, so I let him sprinkle Halloween sprinkles all over them! Then of coarse Abby wantd to do it!
I sprayed Dubs' hair first and he was all over it!!! I think it tickeled and he loved it!!!! I tried to put his make-up on and it lasted for awhile but he really wasn't all for that! All Ben had to do was put his costume on! Then we sprayed Abby's hair and got her costume on! In the meantime, Dad started to carve out Abby's pumpkin and the deal was she had to take some of the punkin guts out to get a carved pumpkin!!! And she did do it to get her "HAPPY FACE" punkin!!!! Sam decided she needed a pumpkin, which is why we stopped at Albertson's earlier in the day!
So I took the kids downtown to Pioneer and it was packed, but not as packed as it has been in the past! so we walked the majority of the way down one side and then back up the other...Abby sorta ran into a barrier and cracked her bucket so near the end she just held it with her arms! Ben was tired and said his back hurt, so he was ready to go by the time we got to the car! Then they really didn't want to go home and since it was only about 6 pm we decided to go over to the Seaplane Base housing and went down one street and back up another...Peyton really liked this because he didn't have to wait in line and could just say "twick o tweet" and "thank you"....and really they made out better candy wise in housing than downtown! so I think next year we will be skipping the downtown thing and just go to housing! And Peyton sort of trickled candy out of his bucket more than once because of the way he was holding the handle!!! So Ben and I kept helping him by picking it up and putting it back in his bucket!!!
NOTE: it is now 11:27 PM and we have lost Matt to la la land and me and Dubs are the last ones standing!
...then after coming home and picking up Matt we headed to Connie's Halloween Party "MONSTERS vs ALIENS"....in the meantime Sam carved her own pumpkin and it turned out pretty kewl...she printed some kind of symbol picture from the internet and carved it....I'll share a picture tomorrow!
Matt and I were Men in Black and of coarse the kids were Monsters from the movie Monsters vs Aliens!!! Ben: Dr Cockroach Abby: Susan and Peyton: Bob!!!! We never managed to get a family picture together, but maybe next time! Peyton kept tripping over his costume and Ben didn't want to wear his mask anymore....there was plenty of food and craft stuff for the kids to do and of coarse they all LOVED drawing on the butcher paper!!! The set up was really kewl and Connie was Marvin the Martian and it was way super cute!!!!!The kids ran and ran and ran...Abby danced with Grandma Judy and Connie and we even got a glimpse of a cute little pumpkin!!!! Somebody said to me {about Peyton while he was drawing}" He seems like he can keep himself pretty entertained" and I had to tell her "No, actually he does NOT" !!!! Then I think she realized it after she saw Matt and I chasing him most of the night!!!! He managed to get outside and down to the bathrooms twice!!!! Then sistah Jaci FINALLY showed up and we got our sistah picture!!!! It will get printed and a copy to each of my girls!!! Especialy one for Judy's desk {she has almost a printed and framed copy of every group shot we have taken!}..so fun to see how we change {or don't change} each year!!! LOVE YA GIRLS!!!!!
well, we finally had to head home because I think we were ALL beat and Ben was really super tired!!! but before we left and as I was getting in the car, Abby says "I want a cupcake" so I went back in and brought back a pan of cupcakes for home! Just one less thing Connie has to worry about cleaning up! So THANKS so much for a great party again this year! Already looking forward to next years!!!!
Note: 11:37 pm Dubs is FINALLY asleep, now all I can hope for is he will sleep LATE tomorrow! I already turned all the clocks back!!!
