Fall Break

Our kids had Thursday and Friday off. I have mixed feelings about days off. It's nice to not race to the bus stop and fun to have a relaxing morning but sometimes the days can drag - especially when your husband is out of town for both days and you live in a really small place. However, we ended up having a great weekend. Kicking it all off, Mindi did a movie night last friday night. What she thought was going to be a handful of kids in her home turned into the entire neighborhood in her home to watch a movie and eat popcorn - not to mention leave a lot of popcorn on the floor. Then with the kids being out of school for two days we knew we'd need something to entertain so we planned some halloween activities/games for the neighborhood. We had a cake walk, sugar cookie decorating, pumpkin craft and donut eating contest. Amber beat all the moms in the donut eating contest! We also had a fun Kelly Kids halloween party Friday night and the ward trunk or treat Saturday night and trick or treating Saturday night. Let's just say we all had a fun filled weekend and I am officially sick of candy. That's not to say you won't catch me eating any tomorrow but I am sick of it!
Here are most of the party planners!
