Halloween Party At The Farm 2011

We started a new tradition this year with a Halloween party at the farm the weekend before Halloween. We ate chili, carved pumpkins, went on a hay ride, and had a bonfire. This also gave the kids who wanted to an extra opportunity to wear their costumes and for this momarazzi to take lots of pictures. I am also trying to build happy memories for my kids that are connected to our family farm. Come along we will give you a pumpkin to carve.

Early in the day we stopped at a local farm that sold pumpkins. We had some from our garden but we wanted to make sure we had enough for everyone to carve. Caelun had fun picking them out.

And carve we did.

Monkeyin’ Around Trick Or Treating At Cedar Trails

Our lower elementary school, Cedar Trails, which includes the ECSE pre-school that Caelun attended, holds a Halloween party courtesy of the PTO every year about a week before Halloween. This party is complete with trick or treating stations around the outside doors of the school and a pizza party for the kids . It is all put together with volunteers and donations and it is absolutely FREE. It was a fabulous community event and gave our little monkey an extra opportunity to wear his costume and an extra opportunity for his mommy to take pictures of him in it. Hip Hip Hooray for Halloween!

On the way. Have you ever tried to sit in a car seat with a tail?

At the school in the activity room- zoom down the slide.

It was kind of soggy but that’s okay bring on the trick or treating!

That isn’t were the candy is silly monkey.

At the pizza party after the trick or treating the monkey met the eagle from Independent Bank one of the sponsors of the event.

And the monkey liked the eagle.

Then out check out the loot.

And then time for PIZZA! We say or friends Miss Kris, Cole, and Emily

Opps I mean Miss Kris, Harry Potter, and Raggedy Ann
