Halloween Happenings 2011

Jordan as Alice in Wonderland
Church hosted an outdoor Halloween dance for our youth. The weather could not have been more perfect and a full moon was included. They had a light show and cool decorations. Of course the one time that they dont need me as a chaperon I would have loved to been there. Jordan said it was the best dance she has been to. I am so thankful for our church dances that gives our kids a good environment to be in and have tons of fun.
Larson really did not have a great idea for his costume so we just went to the store and he became a skeleton.
Logan knew a long time ago (even before the Steiner Ranch fires) that he was going to be a "siretruck" . That means firetruck which equates to fireman and he is going to help people.
Our church trunk or treat and festival was held at a park in Steiner Ranch. Loved the venue and it worked out so well.
The youth did the games for the young kids. They really did a good job and tried to come up with some cool games. This was Logans favorite. Mummies were dressed up and running around this area. Logan got to try and shoot them with a nerf gun.
PUMPKIN BOWLING!!!

This is Jacksons costume. I know, hes just a cool dude. He really did not want to trick or treat or any of that. He is in middle school you know. When Jordan heard this, she would have none of it. She shamed him into not giving up such a major part of his childhood as she stated it. She tried to get him to be Justin Beiber but Jaxs would have none of that.
All 4 at trunk or treat or my Halloween candy supply as I call it.
Going to the Freezes Party. Yes, we got Toms chaps turned around.
Adult party down stairs and high school kids upstairs. There were over 50 kids.
Jim and Michelle as Popeye and Olive Oil
Susie and Ander as Beauty and the Beast. These costumes were amazing. Every part of them were hand made by Anders Mom. Wish I had a better picture to show the detail especially on The Beast.
The Eskelsons
Susie made these adorable mummy cookie pops. They were so cute and tasted great. She made them with a mint oreo cookie.
Jeff and Wendy Worth
You didnt have to look far to find Waldo here at this party. Very cute!
Tracey being the creepiest equestrian rider ever!
Jordan said this was the best party she had ever been too!
Larson was the only one into carving the pumpkin.

After all of this, Halloween is finally here.
Logan definitely ready to go

A very cool kid being a very cool skeleton.

Jordan, Sierra, and Cassie
I told Jordan all along that she was too old to go Tricker or Treating. Well, apparently only middle school is when the kids try to act older. I have found many things revert back with the high school kids. I love that things they do are just cool just because they can if they want to and if they dont then nobody cares.
So everyone was off for Trick or Treat and neighborhood haunted houses.
Father like son
It was warm out and both boys came back a sweaty mess.
Glad Jordan could be with her friends and have a great night.
So now the Roberts house has been filled with more candy than we have ever gotten in the past. Yes, full size candy bars are what they give out. So over the top. I have candy hidden everywhere in the house. They find it and I move it onto the next spot.
Halloween is always a little too busy for my liking but we had a fun week and its a great way to start off the holidays!
