Halloween Week 2009!

Well this year Halloween was turned into a week long event. We kicked off the celebrating with the whole family going to the Fall Festival at Kaylee's school. Kaylee wanted to be a cowgirl this year and Campbell chose to be a Barbie Three Musketeer. As usual the festival was a success for our family. The girls did the cake walk, played hockey, spun the wheel in the Wheel of Fortune booth, chose ducks in the duck pond, went fishing for treats, and chose suckers off a sucker tree. They are both at such fun ages right now so it was great to see what each of them found most exciting. On Monday we took treats to Campbell's ballet class for a Halloween Party and she got to dress up in her Halloween costume. It was so cute to see all these precious girls in their costumes with ballet shoes on.

Tuesday I got to go work the Fall Carnival at Campbell's school. She was so excited to have Mommy there while she got to play all the different games like bean bag toss, pin the face on the pumpkin, go fish, duck pond, and even face painting. Notice that she chose a rainbow on her cheek. It was so fun to watch her with all of her sweet friends and get a little loving from my baby girl too.

On Thursday Campbell's school had a costume parade which I had to miss due to hosting Prayer Group at my house. However, being the great Dad that he is and since he was leaving town for a few days, Cary went to take pictures and give her a little loving.

Then on Friday we went to my sweet friend Lindi's house and carved pumpkins for Halloween since we had not done that yet. The girls both had definite opinions on the images they wanted on their pumpkins. Kaylee chose a pumpkin scarecrow while Campbell chose Blaze from the new Tinkerbell movie. I ended up carving Campbell's while she played with Abba. Kaylee on the other hand showed extreme patience in tracing her template on her pumpkin and doing most of it herself with a little help from Mr. Mark. My camera would not cooperate so if you want to see pictures of our handy work you will have to check out my facebook photos. Thanks again Lindi for planing such a fun night for us.

After a week of fun Halloween finally arrived and we went to our annual party at The Robinson's home. The girls look forward to this event each year and so do their parents. Since Daddy was gone Nana, Papa, and Great Papaw came to town to Trick or Treat and party with us. Once again Keri outdid herself and we all had a blast as you will see from the pictures below. Thanks again for being such a wonderful hostess Keri!

How would you like to have all these Trick or Treaters show up at your door all at once?

Papa and Campbell at the end of the night. Her feet were tired and she told me she had enough candy so we could go home. What a perfect ending to a great week!

Hope all my fellow blogging friends had a wonderful Halloween too!
