Halloween 2015

Whew! What a weekend! It all started Friday with Cooper's (aka Hawkeye) classroom Halloween party:


Amelia (aka Evie) had a party as well, but because sixth graders are soooooooooo mature, no parent volunteers were needed:


 On Halloween, we went to Hocus Pocus at Hemming village. They had face painting, cider and donuts, trick-or-treating from Star Wars and Disney characters, hay rides, and these little train rides:



As the train starting moving, Cooper noticed the wind-chill lowered the temperature drastically and solved that problem:


Of course, no Halloween is complete without a Headless Horseman


Or Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker:
We were ALL nervous until Cooper relinquished the light saber.


We came home for a few hours, went to Fat Cats trunk-or-treat then came home and binged on candy before I could stop them:
Yes, Amelia has less candy. Due to her spacers, Cooper inherited about 1/3 of her stash.


Now, there's a chance my OCD tendencies have maybe, possibly, could-have been passed to my children......look at that beautiful organization of candy! Brings a tear to my eye. And before you think, "Wow, we used to get a lot more than that when we were kids"--first off, it's enough to have Cooper bouncing off walls at 8:30pm at night. Second, mom always threw away half of our candy on Thanksgiving, anyway. 

 
 Happy Halloween!
