Halloween Nights

Kate and Ryan invited us to their Trunk or Treat night which turned out to be really fun.  We at first declined, but when Tyler called from a cell phone and asked us to come, we just had to be there!  Ryan had even entered a carved pumpkin into a contest and placed third!  Way to go, Ryan.  Instead of a Spook Alley they had a Harry Potter Alley where the kids could get a wand  and could decorate their own cupcakes....After that the children went "trunk or treating"

Here's Chase as Buzz Lightyear...

 Chase enjoying the trunk or treat night...

 A very scary Tyler as a mummy -- because they couldn't wear masks Tyler's dad, Ryan created this face for Tyler -- very realistic!

 They had so much candy that the kids probably went around several times and it didn't take more than 15 minutes -- Tyler enjoying the trunks full of candy and decorations...

Kate and Ryan decorated their trunk for the trunk or treaters -- here's a picture of them at the end of the evening...

 Lastly, I'm throwing in a picture of me "clowning" around at the office party...Go Grandma!

Ghosts, Spiders & Grandkids

I had invited the grandkids over to help me make some ghost and spider cupcakes -- Here's Bella with the finished spider creation...

 Chase with his ghost creation made with nutter butter cookies...Looks like he couldn't wait to bite into the yummy ghost!....

Ethan with his ghost -- love the orange and black shirt - very Halloween!

Tyler holding his ghost - I think the ghosts were the favorites!  Pretty tasty, too.  Tyler had a little face makeup on when he came as a practice run for his mummy costume and had to wash it off, but there's a little remant left as you can see around his eyes!

Hopefully the grandkids had as much fun as I did -- glad though that they were taking all that sugar home to their houses....hehehehehehe

Love, Grandma :)
