More Halloween Stuff

On Friday I helped with Max's Halloween party at the school. We had 3 groups of 10 for about 10 minutes which is pretty manageable. I played a game that our family would always play at our cabin when I was growing up. You tie a string of yarn to a marshmallow (ghost) and put it in the middle of the circle. Someone has a pan lid and if they roll a 7 or 11 they crash down the pan lid to try and catch as many ghosts as possible while the kids try and yank out their ghosts before the lid comes down. I'm not very good at explaining it but it's a lot of fun!

This is Max's teacher, Mr. Wise who is really nice, not devil-like at all.

After Max's party was over I went into the other kids classrooms to get a picture of them.

So, in the past I made soup in pumpkin bread bowls for Halloween dinner then Jon would take the kids trick or treating while I stayed in the warm house passing out candy. Last year and this year it started changing. This year we had Wendy's drive thru because we went to a BYU soccer game all day and each of the kids had a group of friends they wanted to go with. Even though those were simpler times, I'm okay with this change, everyone is still happy.
So here is Max and Seth's group...scary?
Tanner's group, which hid behind the bushes scaring "older" kids. Michael is wearing a book cover. Then they went to the neighbor's house to watch a movie.
And Maddie's group. One of her friends is from Alpine so I had to drop them off there and then her mom brought them back to our neighborhood to finish, a little complicated. It was a fun and safe night.

I must say I love Halloween, when I'm the grandma instead of the mom. Much more fun just to answer the door and see the kids - they were all very cute and polite, too. The grand kids were the cutest ever.! Love you guys. Gramma sherry

That is great game! I'll have to remember that!

Wait I think I've said that before about another of your games. Now I'll have to go back and see what the other game was. The old memory isn't that good anymore.
