Our Halloween Day was SO BUSY this year! We had a homeschool Reformation Celebration party in the morning. Right after that, we had 2 orthodontic appointments. Then we raced home to eat dinner. Our original Halloween plans for a neighborhood hayride were cancelled because of wet, cold weather, so last minute we invited a bunch of families over for a Halloween Candy Hunt!
Here are my hunters: A pretty peacock, a stealthy ninja, a mad scientist and Moana!
All of the kids went upstairs and watched The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown while the parents hid bags and bags of candy downstairs.
When the movie was over, the kids were let down one at a time from youngest to oldest to search for candy.
Everyone got plenty of candy to eat! Many kids said they liked this more than trick-or-treating!
It was quite the crowd of cute kiddos!
All of the families posed for a Halloween picture.
And then I told an interactive, not so spooky story about a witch who built a little orange house.
The story leads the kids in cutting openings for the witch, her cat and a friendly little ghost to get into the house. When the story is over, they open the paper and find that they have actually made a jack o' lantern!
It was so fun to spend Halloween with so many friends!!!
