My children get their love of Halloween from their Daddy so when the Church announced the ward party was during the week that Morgan was working nights, I knew that I had to take them even if I had to do it alone.
Wonder Woman Miriam, Batman Luke and Tinker Bell Eve
And Pumpkin Jane
There were several carnival type games for the children to play. They really enjoyed playing and then choosing a prize. We scored lots of bouncy balls that night! One of the games was a coloring contest. I was so glad that the children decided to do this event because it kept them all in one place for a few minutes.
While Miriam and Eve finished coloring, Luke decided to try his turn at the doughnut eating contest. I was so impressed that he wanted to do this event because he is not a big doughnut eater. I think he just thought it was cool to try and eat something without using your hands.
Eve coloring away...
I had lots of help from the other ward members. I am so grateful to be in an area where people see a need (a crazy mom with 4 kids to watch after) and step in and help out. Eve was swept up later in the evening by some of our teenage babysitters. They carried her around and Eve just loved being the center of attention with them. We came home exhausted and after eating a few treats headed to bed. Thank goodness the next day the kids were off from school. We needed the extra rest!
