Vermont 2021 {10/27: Halloween Party}

We knew since we'd be traveling on Halloween that we wanted to do something fun with our friends to celebrate early before we all left to head home. We planned a little Halloween party for the afternoon of Wednesday the 27th. The kids dressed up in their costumes, we played some Halloween games, decorated caramel apples, and watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and ate chili and cornbread muffins. It was a fun and festive time!

Tradition!

Cal is an olympic gymnast (she was going
to make a silver medal, but then decided she
didn't want one at the last minute).

We watched a youtube video on how to do
gymnast hair. This was the best I could do
without hairspray or bobby pins ;)

Sam was a police officer.

He even made up, wrote, and cut out
these little tickets to fill in when he arrested
the bad guys. (Adorbs!)

Timmy next door was a police officer, too!

And Zachary was the robber.

Timmy has the bad guy in hand cuffs 
and Sam is ready with his pen to write
that ticket.

All four Halloween-ified kiddos.

The first game was pin the spider on the web
and they all got to draw their own spiders
on construction paper circles to start.

My kids were NOT great at this game - ha!
They wouldn't trust Gregg when he was pointing
them directly at the door with the web
and wandered all over the living room to place their
spiders.

See Cal's purple spiders off to the left on the wall
and on the wrong door? and Sam's
orange ones off to the right on the wall and the lamp?!

It's caramel apple time!

Donuts on a string - classic!
(and these were Cold Hollow cider donuts, to
boot - lucky kids!)

Cal made a game where everyone decorated a lego
mini figure head (she drew an outline on pieces of paper)
in a halloween themed way.

And then everyone just sort of went to town with the 
art supplies making puppets and other crafty things.

Lovin' Charlie Brown.
