October ends :(

Scouts and the Readyman Badge go quite well together for the month of October!



Gardner Village in October...a 4th year tradition with lil Miss Bryndley!  Girls just love to shop and hunt for Witches!





Piano Recitals in October are quite spooky....
Draculora from Monster High

and then the thing we have all been waiting for all month long....Trick-Or-Treat!  
Ridge did dress up in an orange hat and vest and called himself a hunter

Ke'Nia and her besties!
Another Oct flew by!  Lots of fun to hold us over until it happens again.  Dakotah and Jaden kept busy with whatever it is they do..obviously not with their mother :(  Probably because I would blog about it!  But they still get in on the scary dinners and spooky lunches!

This is Halloween!!

This years Jacobsen Halloween party turned into Ke'Nias book club plus Ridge and friends Halloween party.  The family party just didn't work out.  Everyone was busy this year and if someone can't come then it's not a party!  But I could not go through the month of Oct without planning a party and so this is what it turned into....
Had to keep it in-line with book club right??  So how about the Wise-Old Owl idea for invites??! The tubes were filled with those things you might find inside an owl...gummy body parts!!  yum yum!

Started the party with an after school snack....

And these are the snacks!

Pork Rinds aka Bats Wings!  He loved them haha



Vienna Sausage aka Witches Fingers..YUM!




Baby food apples bananas and prunes aka Monster Mash


Peach Nectar aka Pumpkin juice
Just a few pictures of that yummy game where boys were against girls and the first team to eat all there halloween yummys won!  Girls kicked it!!  BIG SURPRISE!!

Next game...On to the Hunt for Halloween!!



The list for the game...We had the Photo Challenge...Hard evidence Challenge...and the documentation challenge and a 40 min time limit!  Kids came back added up the points and once again the girls ruled!  The boys chose the best photo dress -up for the girls and the girls chose the best photo dress-up for the boys.  Each team was given a halloween bucket with masks that they were to wear while accomplishing their list and these were those winners..

The Awards..
Yep that really is snow!!  Nothing like trying to find Halloween when it's a marshmellow world!!

But Halloween was found and here is the proof!










We finished the party with donuts,hot chocolate and party bags.  And the winner of the candy corn guess was announced.



A fairly easy but fun Halloween party!  Happy Haunting!!
