This was the first Halloween where everything

actually went pretty smoothly!

We started the festivities off on Thursday

with Benson's school party!

I was able to be a room-mom and help out!

We played Halloween games, made "mud pies" with worms!

They also got to do some trick or treating and then

sang us some sweet Halloween songs!

Friday, we went to the Ulrich's annual Pumpkin Carving Party!

(I totally forgot my camera for both of these events)

Ben carved a sweet pirate pumpkin and the Transformer sign.

They had tons of {DELICIOUS} food

and as always it was a great time!

Saturday, we were really lazy and didn't do a whole lot.

I made pumpkin spice scones and

then we had "Dinner in a Pumpkin" with our neighbors the {P's}!

We headed out early and the kids had a blast trick or treating!

Benson was a pirate and Hiley was a witch!

They both looked totally cute!

I need to give my mom a HUGE shout out for

making Benson's awesome costume

and Hiley's cute cape!

Thanks mom! One day, I will learn how to sew!

Hope everyone else had a safe and Happy Halloween! :)
