Halloween

The kids love Halloween. Elizabeth was Jasmine and Ethan was a "Ductor" ie train conductor. We started off the festivities this year by going to the Ghouls of Grassmere at the Nashville Zoo. We went the Friday before Halloween and it was COLD. We saw the best costume there. A women was about 6 months pregnant and she was dressed as a oven. She had taken a box and covered it in tin foil and cut out a opening and drew a bun on her belly. So she was a "Bun in the oven. The best part was her husband was the chef! It cracked me up. Then Saturday night Ethan got sick all over our bed. After about 6 hours of getting sick he finally settled down. I will be so glad when he is old enough to give me some warning.

Halloween Day was crazy this year. I spent the day at Elizabeth's school getting ready for the party. I did the crafts and the games for the party. We got to decorate the room while the kids were at lunch and having recess. When we were finished the kids all came in and we helped them change into the costumes. Then we trick-or-treated around the whole school. We went everywhere..it was great fun to see all the older kids fuss all over the little kids. It was also really nice because Ethan was able to trick or treat too. I am not sure how I would have survived, if I would have had to keep him back. Trick or treating took over an hour so we didn't have much time to do the class party.
The party was pure chaos. The kids eating snacks and running around. I have always respected what teachers are able to accomplish but after trying to keep things going I now know that every day we should send our teachers a huge "Thank You!"


That night we went to Tina's to trick or treat. We had lots of fun riding around in the back of the trailer. Elizabeth loved getting to see Bracey and Ethan was thrilled to go to "Tinas". It was a really nice night not to cold and not to hot. All and all a great Halloween.
THEN...Of course we topped it off with Elizabeth waking up in the middle of the night with a stomach bug. Yep she caught what Ethan had. So we had another long night. I do feel so blessed that she is old enough to run to the bathroom. We had a lot less clean up with Elizabeth. So that was Halloween 2007 for the Webb Family....
