We had so many fun Halloween activities this year!
I thought all year long about our costumes and finally settled on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
I figured that with four members of the family and four turtles, it would be the perfect family theme!
Kevin - Michelangelo
Leslie - Rafael
Colin - Leonardo
Reagan - Donatello (or Donatella!)
Plus, I was able to get the kids to help put the costumes together! They were so cute painting their shells!
Our first activity was the Ward Trunk or Treat (not pictured) and the next day we had a double header of parties! First, we hit the Weil Gotschal Halloween Party and had a total blast!
They had carnival games, inflatable obstacle courses, face painting, food, dancing, bounce houses, and caricatures!
I wasn't sure if we would have time to carve pumpkins, but we were able to squeeze it in and Colin LOVED helping daddy make a "funny face"
October 30th brought trick or treating at Mary Kay. These kids are spoiled from real trick or treating forever! they were able to go from office to office throughout three floors of the building and stuff their bags full of candy!
And then it was finally Halloween day!
It was chilly and with loads of candy already at home, we only made it to a handful of houses before Colin declared he wanted to go home.
Fine by me!
All the pre-Halloween activities definitely kill the excitement of the actual day, but we sure do get a ton of use out of our costumes!
