We haven't had Jason's mom out for a visit in several years so we were extra excited when she came over Halloween. It's always extra special for the boys to celebrate with extended family.
We had some really nice weather while she was in town (at least the first part of it) so we celebrated with a fire out in the backyard. The boys were excited to roast marshmallows and have s'mores!
Nana and Granddad are always really good about sending cards for the boys. However, we are not very good about opening them in a timely manner.
This year I tried to offer both candy and small toys as our treats.
Our traditional dinner has become Mummy Dogs -- hot dogs wrapped up in crescent rolls. This year both Jack and Wyatt helped me make them.
Then it was time to get into costumes and head out. Jack was a werewolf while Wyatt and Ethan were the same characters as last year, a Power Ranger and Blue the dog from Blue's Clues.
Daddy and Granny took the boys out while I manned the front door. It was much cooler and wetter this year than normal but it didn't stop the boys from having fun.
Then it was back home to check out the loot.
And help pass out candy.
Some people had far too much time on their hands!
I love these ideas but who has the time???
The boys loved having Granny around and spent lots of time playing with her.
Candy Land and War being the favorites!!
But the week went by way too fast. Hopefully it won't be long before she is able to move down here and be close all the time! We love you Granny!
