Getting Psyched for Halloween!

The kids are so excited for Halloween. This past week, we had the annual Halloween Party at Hopkins Early Learning Center, which was our 5th and last Halloween party at HELC. Presley dressed up as Darth Vader (sans the mask which is not allowed because it might scare the younger kids). And Canyon dressed up as a Rock Star, and loved his new role. The kids had a blast playing games, getting faces painted, and doing arts and crafts.





On Friday, Mom and the kids enjoyed learning about the origins of Halloween, roasting marshmallows, and carving pumpkins at the Pumpkin Event at Staring Lake Outdoor Center with our friends the Allemans. It was our first visit to the center. Canyon scooped out the guts of his pumpkin all by himself. And the kids both "poked" out their own designs. Now they are proudly displaying their carved pumpkins in their bedrooms at home and counting down the days to October 31st.
