Halloween

Happy Halloween! My children have been looking forward to Halloween all month! Finally the big day arrived and off we went to the branch Halloween Party. Luke decided to dress up as Superman and Miriam was a Princess.


The children decorated ghost and pumpkin cookies.

"It's more fun to eat them than decorate."
"My Masterpieces."


Luke was very meticulous in his decorating.


Luke loved the fishing game. Miriam needed a little help and Super Luke came to the rescue!
The Portsmouth Branch Primary children

The children also played drop the clothespin in the bucket. They first had to touch the pin to their nose and drop it from there. Miriam had the best time with this game. For some reason she thought it was so great to have the pin touch your nose. She made all 3 pins into the bucket!


Luke's turn
The Roy family dressed as a rainbow. Each child wore a color of the rainbow and so did Jacquelle! What a creative idea! Now I just need 3 more kids in order to pull this one off in the future...


One of the games was the "Freeze Dance." I was so surprised to see Luke really get into this game. He danced all over ... he wasn't so good at freezing for longer than 10 seconds, but he really tried.


Occasionally a balloon would pop and send Miriam into scowl mood. Check out her latest facial expression...(she does this A LOT at home)
Luke used this orange balloon as a bat and created his own baseball game. He had a blast hitting balloons all over the room.

Miriam is quite the pretty little princess! She looks so grown-up! I'm glad you guys had such a fun time and your branch party.

Man, that makes me wish we would have gone to our ward party. It looks like you guys had fun. Miriam is so smart. I am pretty sure Charlotte would have had NO idea what to do with the clothes pin and probably would have ended up chewing on it. Luke looks so much like Morgan as a kid... only cuter b/c he has some of you in there too. I hope you guys are happier in "Your-Ami"

They are cute! Luke looks so TALL in the picture of him with the clothespin. I wonder where he got that from.
