Every year Papa T (Fimple) puts on a seriously awesome Halloween party for the kids (and parents) of all the coaches. This year he didn't disappoint anyone. He had 3 blow ups--1 for the smaller kids, 1 really big castle with slide, and 1 that was two slides side by side. He had TONS of food, the costume contest (for kids and adults), and a special treat for the kids and their dads. Papa T gives out some unbelieveable prizes for the costume contest. He tries to let all of the kids win something, and so he has like 10 different categories. Russell won the "Most Halloween Spirit". He got a Mc Donald's gift card. Unfortunately, Wilson didn't win anything, but he didn't seem to care because that meant he could take his costume off. We didn't get any pics of Justin and I dressed up, but we both walked away with prizes. Justin was dressed as Hanibal Lector (orange prison suit and mask--I drew some tatts on him). He won "Most Halloween spirit". I was dressed as the grandmother from Red Riding Hood (since Russell was a wolf). I got "Cutest Adult outfit. Our prizes were gift cards to Cracker Barrell. In the years past, Papa T had a treasure hunt for prizes also. This year, however, he took a different approach. The kids got to throw whip-cream pies in their daddies' faces for a dollar. Wilson didn't like the idea so much, but Papa T still gave him the dollar. It was really hilarious to watch those daddies get it!
At daycare they dress up like farmers for the fall parties. We don't really have any farmer gear. We decided that plaid shirts and jeans would have to do. The boys looked like some of the nicest dressed farmers I have ever seen. Russell filled up his sticker chart at school and got a new toothbrush. He just wanted to let everyone know that he really does know how to listen, even if he doesn't always practice the ability.
The Sadler's hosted the coaching families to their house for a weenie roast before Trick or Treating. They got to fill up on Rebel dogs, chips, and S'mores before all the candy. Really I think it was a chance for them to get out some energy, and let the parents have some quiet before the craziness. We walked over to a near-by church for Trunk or treats and then off to the real deal trick or treating. It was so much fun to go as a group with the other coaching kids.
All in all it was a really good time! We have more candy then we know what to do with. I am thinking of new things to do with all of it--besides eat it all myself! I hope everyone had a Spooktacular night!
