Halloween Day

I got to the school bright and early to watch the costume parade. Olive was so excited to see me, it was pretty cute. 

Another room mom and I had to come up with some games so we decided to do minute to win it style games. This one was called the Elephant Walk. We got multiple parties out of those bottles!

Then the kids had to do a ring pick up. They had to get the spiders on to their straws with only their mouths. It was pretty funny to watch. 

This sweet girl! Not only was she so excited that I came to help in her class but she was thrilled when she got to come home early with me. The little things in the life of a first grader!

We met up with our friends and went Trick-or-Treating on our old street which was really fun to be on our old stomping grounds and see our old neighbors. 

We had to get a picture with all the Annas!

Here's our attempts at getting all the kids in a picture. It's always a complicated task. 

The kids loved trick or treating and ran to every door. Milo was so excited and really for the first time understood what he was supposed to do. He tried to keep up with the big kids and would always remember to yell trick or treat at the door. 

Milo's Preschool Halloween Party

Milo's preschool always does a great job and his teacher makes it so fun. They had a really cute Halloween party. I'm so glad that I got to help with it. 

They had yummy treats that Milo was very excited about. Look at his tongue sticking out!

And witch's brew!

They played duck duck goose with a pumpkin. Those three year olds have such a hard time understanding taking turns and so they all wanted to run every time someone was it. It was kinda hilarious to watch. 

They  made ghoul masks and went on a ghost hunt with their ghost callers. 

They they all got to pick out a little pumpkin and put it in a circle. 

Then they were supposed to parade around the pumpkins. Milo did that for like 2 seconds and then he spent the rest of the time focused on.....

this! Playing with the music and the speakers. Seriously that boy is so funny!

Cousins Party!

These girls! I can't get enough of them! They adore each other and it is the cutest thing ever. When Lizzie found out that Olive was being Elsa, she immediately decided to be Anna. Aren't they adorable?

The whole crazy group, again minus Milo.

This is what Milo was doing. 

We played pass the treats, went indoor trick or treating, and 

did an intense dance contests. I missed the pictures of Taylor in his Hot Pants outfit but I think that won the costume of the night!

UEA in St George

Since we were so busy remodeling the house we hadn't been to St George in a really long time. It was fun to go with everyone over UEA. It was beautiful weather and we all just hung out and relaxed.

The little boys are obsessed with the arcade, unsurprisingly. I thought they figured out a pretty clever way to play the basketball game.

Milo loved being thrown high in the air and want to do it constantly when we were in the pool. 

Olive is so funny. She wanted me to take a picture of her doing this crazy sign. Who knows what it means!

One night as they were getting ready for bed somehow they all ended up in Scott's shirt. The kids thought it was the funniest thing ever.  I don't think that shirt ever recovered though. 

Olive's first pedicure! She was in heaven!! Other than it took forever and she got kinda bored. 

All the girls came, which is why it took awhile. But seriously, look how grown up they all are!

I had bought Olive some new princess jammies and they came with this sleep mask. She was so in love with it and slept with it on every night for at least a month. She really is a princess at heart :)

Annual Patterson Halloween Party

Since Olive was a baby we have always had a Halloween party. We moved in literally weeks before Halloween but we thought it would be fun to have everyone over and let the kids party. 

Anna and Olaf.

These two Elsa'a did great at the elephant walk game.

I think that all the kids loved the cup stacking. We also did a cup toss game with candy corn and a game where you try to blow the cup off the table with a balloon.

We had a costume fashion show.

That is one cute bunch of kids!

All the girls in their girliest glory.

And of course the boys, minus Milo who refused to be in any more pictures. 

The whole Frozen crew. I painted my dress late the night before and made Scott's Kristoff outfit with ribbon and a sweatshirt but I think we looked pretty legit!

It was a crazy fun, or fun crazy time as it always it with 15 kids. But I know the kids love it!

More Halloween Fun

Milo had "play in the leaves day" at preschool. I like how all the boys are trying to use the rake at once. 

We went to see the witches at Gardener Village. Olive as usual, was on the hunt for her favorite Witchy Poo.

We had Orange and Black Dinner

We did cup/pumpkin bowling. The kids LOVED this.

Had Witches Dinner

Painted our mini pumpkins

And carved our big pumpkins. 

Milo made a "Scarry guy" and Olive's was a Princess Vampire because of course.
