We had SO much fun this past month with our "Air Force Guy with a gun" (Cooper), "Indiana Jones" (Gunner), and "Skunk" (Beckett). Lots of Halloween festivities. Lots of fun. Cooper said today, "Mom, I just wish Halloween could last forever".
*HaLLoWeeN pLAyGrouP*
Lots of fun food. At the church. Cookie decorating with LOTS of sprinkles. Mini cupcake walk. Great company.
At the club. Free "kid-friendly" food (a.k.a. deep fried buffet). :) Dancing to fun kid-mix. Strobe light. Balloons. Glow sticks (boom-a-rangs to my kids). Beckett--Dad's dance partner.

Powell Gardens. With our friends, the Bells. Walked along a path of fairy-tales acted out. Lit with hundred's of jack-o-lanterns. Cooper's favorite part: Peter Pan. Gunner's favorite part: a Lion. Beckett: the sleeper (especially after I let him borrow my thumb... we forgot his bink). Fresh popped popcorn and hot chocolate. Trolly ride back. 1 1/2 hours. Too long for adults, not long enough for kids. They LOVED every minute, were enthralled, attentive, and happy!
*SeeLinGer'S SpOOky FaMiLy HoME EveNIng*
Fun freaky foods. (eyeball taco salad, worms, slime, gravestone brownies, putrid punch, spider-web chip dip, hand and foot sandwiches, and more!) Great company. Bonfire.
*BasE bOO BaSH*
Haunted military tent (braved only by Cooper and Zander). Halloween carnival games. Cash cage (Gunner's fav). Bingo. Free food. Cliff and kids as company.
*FauLkNer'S FaRm*
Animals to feed. Hayride. Horse swings. Rocking horses. Washers and horseshoes games. Obstacle course. Bouncy caterpillar. Pumpkins. With the Bells. Dinner after at a Summit BBQ Pit. Celebrated Jaime expecting another GIRL!
*PuMPkIn CarViNG*
Read the "Pumpkin Prayer" for FHE. Toasted pumpkin seeds. Scary face and one-eyed monster jack-o-lanterns. Cooper getting more brave, Gunner still grossed out. Beckett loved the entertainment.
*CoOpEr's PrEschOOl pARtY*
Stood in middle of circle to say costume and favorite part of costume. Cooper said, "I don't know what I am, but I look like an Air Force guy. My favorite part of my costume is my gun, but you wouldn't let me bring it to school." (no weapons). Costume parade down hall. Parents invited. Yummy treats. Gunner got some too. Pumpkin walk. Made spider webs with plates. I wrote the names of Cooper's "favorite friends" on the picture below.
*tRiCk-Or-TrEaT*
Cooper and Gunner WAY excited to have Drew and Zander (with their families the Bells and Bolardos) over for dinner. Chili, worm hot dogs, homemade oreos, and putrid punch. Trick-or-treated on base. We could hardly keep up with Cooper, Gunner and Zander. Talk of the neighborhood for giving out toothpaste samples after our candy ran out. Boys obsessed with all the decorations... especially the "super scary skeletons coming out of the ground". Lots of candy, lots of fun.
Now instead of counting down the days (or sleeps) until Halloween, we are counting down the days until Cooper's 5th birthday on November 13th!
