party with the Burch's

Our first Halloween party of the season was with Dev and Laura. We invited them over on a Sunday night for a Halloween themed dinner and games. The kids wore their costumes which was really fun. We made these "sea monster" sub sandwiches for dinner which were really easy, turned out really cute and were most importantly...yummy and lots of other fun spooky dinner foods. The kids loved making these "marshmellow mummies" for dessert. They were definitely more a flavor that a kid would love but I did think they were adorable. The kids decorated everyone's cup with a jack o' lantern face. We all had a dinner and just visited. After dinner we took turns racing in teams, wrapping each other up like mummies. It was pretty entertaining to watch and fun to try to do. Hunter was a wrapping whiz once he figured out a good method. It was hilarious watching Ave and Brecken get wrapped. They were both having a hard time holding still because they couldn't quit giggling. They kept saying how much it tickled. I love this picture of the two of them mummified together. Hunter and Madison did an awesome job wrapping Deke up completely including his face. Brooklyn gave Laura a new mummy fashion statement by making her a skirt and top. Again love this picture of Deke and Laura all done up. Then we made two teams and using baby pumpkins passed them down the line under our necks without using hands. This again proved to be hilarious and another game that Brecken and Ave could hardly play because they are so ticklish. It was a really fun, lots of laughing and great way to kick off Halloween.
