Brynnly's Kindergarten Halloween Party

Britt & I helped out at our daughters Halloween party for school, and the girls wanted us to dress up so bad. They were so excited when they saw us come out to school during their recess dressed up in costumes. By now I was on my third costume change for this Halloween season. Brynnly wanted to go as a Flapper girl, so I dressed as one too! 










Our Couples Halloween Party

We threw a Halloween Party and it turned out sooooo much fun! We seriously had the best time with our friends and we are so lucky to have such a fun group of people here in Payson!

The Whole Gang
 We played a game of FEAR FACTOR Halloween Style.... this was the Eye Ball toss


 Then the top 6 couples moved on to the next event, which was to stick your feet in freezing cold ice water and see which couples could get the most marbles out with their toes.
 Then it was the Worm Eating Contest... where the guys had to stick their face in the pie and try to get the gummy worms out and then had to feed them to their wife.




Cooked Top Ramen Noodles where the boys had to dig out the snakes with their mouth and flick them into the buckets.

 And the Final Challenge....they had to stick their hand in the tank that was filled with all sorts of real  bugs and crickets to see who could get out the most fake bugs.
 The Winning Couple
 Then it was on to the Dance Party!! I love watching the boys dance...they were all the entertainment of the night.

Halloween 2011

A monster, A monkey & A strawberry.
 Talk about a no stress Halloween (kind of)...I pulled up the Old Navy website, they picked their costumes & costumes were shipped to my house. (well this actually was the 2nd attempt at costumes, by August I already had our family's themed Halloween Costumes...and when a plan in the theme didn't go as planned, then that through me for a loop and that's why we ended up with these costumes.) We originally were French Fries, Hot Dog, Hamburger, Chef  and Bun in the Oven. But when the bun in the oven wasn't in the oven anymore, then I figured I best switch up the theme, so I listed costumes on ebay and I ended up actually making a little more money on the original costumes I bought....so it didn't end up being to bad of a deal! I have some pictures of the kids in the other costumes that I need to try to find, cuz they sure looked cute! But anyways, so I realized how simple Halloween can be when you don't do a theme. But you think I will remember that next year....PROBABLY NOT.



Oh ya, I forgot about all my Halloween costume changes until I just came across this picture. My hubby is sure great to put up with me and my costumes. But I seriously love Halloween. I don't know if I even liked it this much as a kid, but I love it now.So this night, Brian & I were Mr.& Mrs. Potato Head.
We have only lived in Payson for 15 months and I have already seen enough of this clown and all his tricks. I think that it's time for them to find a new act for entertainment. I thought we came late enough to the Trunk or Treat to miss it, but I guess not. Kids loved it though!










I love that my kids came home and sorted their candy, like my siblings & I did when we were little. It was so cute to see them do this! This was after the Trunk or Treat on Saturday. They each got 3 pieces and then I told them the story about the Great Pumpkin coming. So they left it out on the porch and surprisingly never asked once about where their candy was!
