My Two Little Creatures

This year for Halloween Megan asked to be a fairy. What she really wanted was Tinkerbell but those costumes are so short and small we were having a difficult time so she settle for Silvermist. She is part of the Tinkerbell family and Megan loved the costume. She was actually very happy and excited when she tried it on was glad to be Silvermist. Andrew is Spiderman part 2. This will be his second year in a row as Spiderman. There is just something exciting about climbing walls and being a super hero that he loves. Maybe next year we'll get to try something new.

The kids got to get all dressed up as a pre-Halloween bash at their school. It is Harvest Carnival time and the kids couldn't wait to see their friends and have some fun. I got them all dressed and ready to go as soon as Jeff got home he changed out of his work clothes and we loaded up to go.

The gym was packed with families and games galore. It was a buzz with kids playing and greeting each other. They played pretty much every game there was. Andrew has a really good aim and was able to knock down almost all 3 targets with one throw at one booth. Megan not so good at the aim but driven to do better on a second try. She studies her targets and tries really hard.
The only rough part we had was when it came time to select toys. After each game they had a little display table to choose from and it would be divided in sections depending on how well you played the game. Andrew didn't much care for this method as he wanted what he liked and didn't care what side of the line the prize was on. With one little melt down for not getting the prize he wanted all else went really well. Both kids had huge grins and loved seeing all and playing. I've been informed that they are ready for the main event coming in a few days. Halloween is just so much fun when you get to dress up and get candy. We've already been enjoying the season so much and still have more to come.
