Halloween Party

This week it was my turn to teach/host joy school. We have now moved to 2 days a week, Wed. and Fri. instead of just on Wednesdays. I know Ty will love that. Well on Friday we had a Halloween Party in place of regular "preschool", and invited all the other 3/4 year olds in the ward to join us. Including a few siblings that had to tag along with their moms, we ended up with 18 kids!! Thankfully I wasn't all on my own :). The other moms from the joy school (plus one more) stayed, and Kenny also had work off that day so he was home. And boy did we party!! There was coloring, crafts, apple bobbing, balloon games, a pinata, and of course FOOD. Kenny and I had so much fun staying up the night before and decorating the house--the kids thought it was so neat to wake up to that! I have never been a huge fan of Halloween, but maybe I should just decorate more because it's pretty fun :).

My mom made these darling skirts for Bryn and Madi. I got a few good shots of them, then realized my memory card was not in the camera! So I tried to get some more, but they were done...this is as good as it got :)

This is the view of our house standing at the front door.

Kenny had the great idea of stealing a table and chairs out of the nursery at church to use for our party. We had to rearrange our furniture, but it worked out so well!!

We even got some dry ice that morning for the kool-aid! :)

All the kids rushing to get the loot after the pinata broke.

Also last night we got to go on a date. We've been doing a babysitting group trade-off thing with 2 other couples in our ward. It works out so well. 3 Fridays a month (if it works out) so you babysit once and get 2 dates! We ate at a yummy, slightly overpriced Italian restaurant called Brio. It's just really nice to get out for 2 hours and talk and just be together.
