Halloween Night

Halloween with toddlers isn't quite what I remember of the holiday from my mid-twenties! haha! But... I have to say, we had a really fun time...kids and all! Our friends, the Scotts, had a Halloween party and we spent the evening there. We loved that it was a weekend night and we didn't have to rush home to get the kids to bed for school the next day like we have had to do in the past. Our neighborhood has a lot of kids so it's already lots of fun to watch all the kids in their costumes but this year was extra special being at the Scotts. The Scott's next door neighbors put out the full Pirates of the Carribean decor and show to match. It was truly awesome and the kids spent a ton of time hanging out with the pirates!

Here is some of the decor at a glance before the sun went down. The canons on the boat and balcony shot CO2 and the pirates and wenches walked around yelling very pirate-y things and handing out gold coins to all the kiddies.

Here is "Captain Morgan" with Kyle Scott, Kendall Scott, and Ryan
(Charlie was too scared for a picture.)

Captain Morgan had all his friends there in pirate costumes playing the part. It was like being at Disneyland.

Before trick-or-treating, Kendall helped Ryan and Charlie to do their makeup.

Ryan and Kendall are waiting for all the other kids to catch up. They went so fast to the first few houses. That was very, very, very hard for them. There were about 9 or 10 kids in our group so it was hard to keep them all together.

Like I said... not exactly the kind of Halloween party from the twenty-somethings but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Plus... the Scotts had plenty of "witches brew" to make the screeching voices not seem so terribly loud!! LOL
