Pre-Halloween Festivities

We have enjoyed a few fun activities during this busy week leading up to Halloween. Last Thursday evening, the children's daycare held their fall festival. They do a great job--transforming every room into a carnival activity, having a bouncehouse, serving dinner. I was only able to make it for a little while because I had a work dinner, but Nick was able to stay so that Carter and Callen could bounce, and bounce, and bounce...and maybe fit in a few games.

While I was there, we went to visit with Mrs. Katrina, who is one of Callen's favorite teachers. In her room, they were playing pin the tail on the donkey. Callen got a practice run with no blindfold.

Then Carter showed her how to do it with the blindfold.
So, Callen thought she'd try it.
Carter, of course, gravitated across the hall where they were golfing for prizes.
Callen joined in also.
They stayed for a while longer and bounced, but I never managed to get a picture of that.

Today, our neighborhood had its Halloween block party. We got there a little late because Carter had soccer during the first half. However, there were still some games going on when we got there. There was a bean bag toss...
Bag decorating so that you could hold all your prizes...
And there was a fire truck there also! Carter got to drive, but Callen was too shy to climb up there.

Just a little preview of my Cinderella...

and my Bu.zz Light.year before the trick-or-treating begins!
Our house is all ready for any trick-or-treaters who may come tomorrow night {though I am not too hopeful--we are at the very end of our neighborhood. I don't think we had any last year}.
