That was fun!

It's a successful Halloween when we return home and the kids declare, "That was fun!"

This year we had Princess Anna, Red M&M, a Vikings player, and Olivia the Pig.

I am a room mother for Nathan's class again this year and I found this game on Pinterest.  We put three gummy worms on a plate, covered them in whipped cream, and the kids had to fish them out with their teeth and put them on the other plate.

After this game, Nathan told me, "That was the most fun I've had in years!"

Wohoo!  He and his friend Dawson really got into the game, as you can see.

It's been our tradition since having a Halloween birthday in the family to go to Grandma & Grandpa Melius' house after school.  Teresa always requests that Grandma wear her birthday cake costume. 

I surprised Teresa with a Barbie birthday cake.  Because I didn't realize Barbie was so tall, she received a two layer skirt!

We finished up our night with trick-or-treating.  We came home with bags of candy and Rachel only fell in one hole covered with leaves.  No worries--with a little help from her siblings, she was back up and ready to hit the next house.

Thanks to everyone who made Teresa's birthday and our Halloween extra special!
