I love when the Holiday season starts and all the fun family activities. This week I helped my mom throw a Halloween Party for the grandkids, we have 14 grandkids so it was a lot of fun! The girls dressed up as clowns this year, Chloe is wearing an old clownsuit my Mom made for us when we were little and Emma is wearing one my sister Kerstin made for her girls. I hate clowns, they scare me, but my girls sure make cute clowns.
Emma just chillin waiting for her cousins to arrive.
My sister Kerstins kids and my Mom as a crazy scientist.
One of the games we played was Mummy Relay. We divided up into teams and gave each team a roll of toilet paper and let them at it. Emma wanted to be mummified, it was hilarious!
Another game was freeze dance. We put on Monster Mash and the kids had fun dancing and striking poses and then they started a conga line. We played some more games like put the bones on the skeleton and guess how many candy in the jar and then we decorated Halloween cookies. The girls just love seeing their cousins all the time, I hope we make this a yearly Halloween tradition.
Emma is out of school for Fall Break and my sister in law Heather invited us to go see Ramona and Beezus at the dollar theater today. I read all those books when I was little and I loved them. I hope Emma will someday love them too. The movie was fantastic! It was so cute and so funny, I loved it! Later we went to the Pumpkin Patch with Heather and her family and my brother Josh and his wife McCall.
It was a pretty cool pumpkin patch, the pumpkins are way cheap and they have all these tractors for the kids to play on and a corn maze and hayrides.
We let the girls wander around until they found their special pumpkin. It didn't take long for Emma to find hers.
Chloe on the other hand took a long time to find her special pumpkin. She went up and down the rows and when she did find it she held it above her head and yelled, "I found the perfect pumpkin!"
I love Fall time and Im looking forward to all the festivities.

Aaron's is the Boo Owl one, mine is the mummy and Chloe's is blue and Emma's red. I saw this cute idea for a safe way for the girls to decorate their pumpkins in a magazine using paint, different colors of felt and craft foam.
