Halloween Family Night

This year my boys asked if we could have a Halloween themed family night again. My intentions were to decorate like I did last year but this little girl got sick. 

I know she doesn't look like she's sick but this was the 3rd day of her running a fever and complaining of her throat hurting. We went to the doctor early Friday morning and found out it was just a virus that had to run it's course. 

I went to checkout and realized I had forgotten my wallet at home!! So that meant no buying Halloween decorations and going straight home (on a very low tank of gas). 

I had all the stuff in the house to make cupcakes so I whipped up these little guys......... Homemade chocolate coffee cupcakes with vanilla cream cheese icing and a marshmallow mummy on top. The boys were very impressed and I think that made up for the lack of decorations :)

We had chili dogs for dinner that night (and it was a cold rainy night...perfect for chili) and cupcakes for dessert. 

After dessert it was time to decorate pumpkins!! 

Ok so the plan was for the boys to paint their pumpkins and Baby A to glue tissue paper on hers. A toddler + Paint = a giant mess!!

That plan went out the window after Baby A was done gluing tissue paper on hers and the boys were still painting. So she grabbed a paint brush right off her brothers paint plate and helped herself to painting her pumpkin. Once I saw the sneaky girl's move, I didn't have the heart   energy to tell her no! 

Then once Baby A was in bed the boys played a hilarious game of Twister. Seriously I wish you could hear the laughter in this picture. 

It was a super fun night and I am so glad that the boys look forward to it so much!
