A couple of weeks ago, Bryan asked if we were going to have a family Halloween party. We hadn't planned on it, but we're always up for a party, so yes!
Bryan made a huge pot of chili, I rooted around in the basement for Halloween decorations, and we all gathered at Mom's house for fun. I had the kids help me put up some decorations, small things on the mantle and on the table with streamers over the kitchen. Mikayla brought a couple of games, and I did too. I brought the rhymer game and had the kids try to find things that rhymed like "chain on a frame," "hook on a book," "ants on the plants," "bug on the rug." It was trickier than I thought it would be, especially for the little kids. Mikayla brought "pin the spider on the spider web," "Halloween cup pong," and "make a mummy" with big and small people participating. Mikayla brought a jar of candy and had everyone guess how many pieces they thought were in it. Rowan won. We had the chili, veggies with bugs, and witch's brew. We frosted, then rapidly ate, sugar cookies. The kids all came in their costumes, and we had a wonderful time being together.
