All things Halloween

 The kids wanted to decorate the house more for Halloween.  More and more people are putting up lights and decorations for halloween like Christmas in our neighborhood.  So the kids wanted to add to our normal Halloween decorations.  They chose a skull and spider that lights up.

Mary ready for Church last Sunday.

Painting Pumpkins!

Carving our Pumpkin!  OOOOHHH!

 Making Halloween cookies!

Mary has been practicing in our new Church Choir and is learning chimes and bells on Wednesday nights.  While she does, Sarah and I play.  This last week we rode her bike around the "greenbelt" type area around our church.

 Mary practicing!

Our School had 50's Day for the 50th day of School. 

 Sarah doesn't get to dress up in 50's day wear until she is in Kindergarten.  She had a fall party instead, so she is in her fall outfit.

 Sarah at school...

 I was lucky to join Sarah at her Fall Party for a little while on my off period.

Back to 50's Day.  During the week each class had a dance off during PE and the winner of each class got to be in the dance off in front of the whole school!  Mary was chosen again!  She did it 2 years ago in Kindergarten.  Here she is ready to dance in front of the whole school with her boy dance partner!

 They are lineing up ready for the music.

 And the music is on....

 Mary and her partner lasted 3 songs, but in the end she wasn't the final 2 couples so she was sad she lost.  When you are tapped on the shoulder, you go to the back till it is over. 

 The final two

Even though sad she lost, she did great and was a huge honor to be chosen.  Also, so proud she isn't embarrassed to dance in front of the whole school and their parents.  Only almost 800 people!  Yea, Mary!

 

Then after school, take off the poodle skirt and dress up for something else.  Volleyball practice tonight they wore told they could paint their face and wear a Halloween shirt and there would be a prize for the best!  So Mary went as a cat!

 I told Sarah that while we were at Mary's practice that I would paint Sarah's face too for fun with the left over paint.  So I did...here is my pumpkin!

 Sarah was eating Oreo's too at the time!

Mary won her scrimmage at the end of practice, a serving game, and for best halloween get up!!!  She ended up with several prizes at the end of the day, so she was very happy!  Good day!!!
