Halloween: Partying and Baking

Halloween isn't until Sunday, but that hasn't stopped us from partying.

Last night we attended a crazy fun YM/YW sponsored Primary party.

There were games, a fish pond, a cake walk, a spook alley, homemade root beer, and entertainment by the youth.

We got to wear our costumes too.

Brandt was a bit overwhelmed by all the activity (it really was crazy), and Blythe is still a bit young, 

but all in all, we had a good time.

 

Kent and Brandt waiting to do the cake walk and Blythe drinking her roo-butt (which is root beer at our house)

 

Blythe and I are participating in a mummy wrap game.  

We are competing against two other people to see who can wrap their partner the most in one minute.

Even though Blythe eventually began to protest about being strung up in toilet paper, we won.

We each got a plastic body part for our win (and participation).

Blythe chose an eye--I chose a foot.

And here are the children fishing.

That African shirt is Kent's costume.

I made cupcakes for the cake walk.

Blythe saw them on the counter first thing in the morning and shoved one in her face before Kent could stop her.

Hey! A brain is a terrible thing to waste.

Or leave uneaten.

As an activity with the children earlier in the week, we also made cookies.

Two kinds--sugar and chocolate--both cut-out.

We've decorated and distributed.

And eaten.

Way too many. 

Pumpkin, moon, and ghost (not pictured) sugar cookies.

Bat and skeleton chocolate cookies.

All tasty.
