Halloween 2010

Halloween weekend started off with a costume party at our twin friends, Jessica & Jada's, house. We arrived a few minutes late and were thrown right into the activites first thing. Here's Aidan taking part in the "eat a donut off a string" game. He was cheating a little bit because you are not supposed to use your hands. We did stop short of letting him eat everyone else's donuts like he wanted to ("mmmmm...Mommy, these are YUMMY", he said).




Here's Maddie, who quickly lost interest in the game after she accidentally touched the donut glaze ("EWWWWW", she said).




Here are the party attendees (minus Aidan who was busy searching for candy-filled pumpkins a little bit ahead of schedule).




Maddie fell in love with this bridge they had in their backyard. Eventually she led all the party-goers in a game of "cross the bridge, then walk through the stream bed", repeat)


Meanwhile Aidan was busy scoping out the cake:




Here they are eating cake with their twin friends Marcus & Samara. I thought it was absolutely adorable that Aidan & Marcus shared a seat :)




Riding the teeter-totter with Samara:




All that activity wiped our little guy right out!


DAY 2 of Halloween weekend involved a neighborhood get together for pizza & a scavenger hunt. Here's the gang that participated (notice Aidan was uncooperative yet again and is being forced into the picture by Kurt):



And here M&A are setting off on their maiden trick-or-treating voyage (last year doesn't count since we only went to 2 houses):



At our first house (our friend Aaron's), M&A got a little confused and almost pulled a "Ding Dong Ditch" (aka Ring 'n Run):



Thank goodness they caught us! Here we are getting our first treats :)



The kids really got the hang of trick-or-treating and eventually our wagon became obsolete. They kept asking to go to more houses and Kurt kept them out for over an hour and a half (I actually started getting a little worried). But it was well worth it; here's our booty:



I figure if I give them one piece of candy per day, we'll have enough to last us until next Halloween. Especially since Maddie isn't a candy eater and tends to "save" hers (eewwww for Mommy).

Now if someone could just break it to the kids that we aren't supposed to go trick-or-treating every night!
