Halloween Festivities

We started the Halloween week with playgroup at Leslie's house. The kids look forward to Halloween playgroup each year. It's always at someones house and they get to dress in their costume, we bring spooky-themed snacks, bring treats for each kid, and usually do a Halloween craft. This year we didn't even make it to the craft time because we threw in some games instead like pin the nose on the pumpkin and apple bobbing. 
 It was so much fun!!

It's a little blurry but these girls can pull together a theme playgroup in 1/2 a day easy.  We didn't even decide it was at Leslie's house until the day before.

Bobbing for apples!  This was such a hit for the kids.

Pin the nose on the pumpkin

I found Ty like this in the other room after he got his "nose" to pin on. I think he was a little confused about how the game works.

But, he eventually figured it out.

Then we headed out for the Compass Fall Festival! 
Kinley was SO excited when we showed up and Mav decided to wear Woody! It was a game day decision on what Mav was going to be. He has about 30 costumes. And I think he was set on Thor all day but, last minute changed to Woody and Kinley just loved it.

Mendy, Alex, Pops and Gram all came to the Festival with us. It is SO fun to have them there and it is always nice to have additional eyes and hands helping out in the dark with all the people there.
