Making the rounds...

This week has been full of Halloween goodness! 

First up, the annual MSC Hospitality Halloween Party! I advised Hospitality until I switched my contract this year and this program was always one of my favorites. They really do such a good job of creating fun activities for the kids and my kids LOVE anytime we get to go to campus. 

And - to make it even more fun, the first people we saw was the Baileys. Who fit PERFECTLY with our Disney theme (because Radley switched from a shark to Jack Sparrow at the last minute (all on his own)).

Allow me to introduce to you...

Jack Sparrow, Merida, one of Merida's brothers when they turned into bears, Snow White and Tiana (or "Tee-nana). 


Emmy Tiana made herself instantly "at home" and created new rules for each game. 


Snow White just marched around with sass and cute. 



This is the first picture I have taken where Emmy looks like a "little girl" - a true little girl. And it kinda breaks my heart. 


Kayla was the best helper and so sweet and patient with Landry. The Aggies also let them just play as much as they wanted and were sure to reward everyone equally.


Our neighbors had a pirate hat for Rad to wear and it's kind of awesome. I seriously can't take it. 


I also can't stand how big she is getting. Or how long her hair is. Or the fact that she is closer to 2 than 1. 


And her. The dress is too big, but nothing a piece of ribbon can't fix!


We just walked around at our own pace, chatting with friends from around town, playing, laughing and enjoying the view. :)


These kids are celebrating their SEVENTH Halloween together. 



I always enjoy the face painting booths at events like this because you never know what's going to end up on a face. This particular evening the artist was incredibly sweet and I'll let you judge her talent for yourself. (Radley's modeling a skeleton pirate, because of course). 


Ryan snapped a few pics of his princesses ;)


and then one of the group and we headed home! Thanks, Hospitality for your, well, hospitality!


Tonight we attended the annual Fall Festival at the WDS! This annual event includes a chili cook-off, book fair, cake walk, and tons of games for the kiddos!

Oh, they also have pizza for those that don't like chili. In our case, we love chili, maybe too much. Landry didn't need anymore chili (if you catch my drift).


Josh and I were all hands on deck since Cindy and Ryan had that silly thing called work to take care of.  We finally smartened up enough to sit at the table NEXT to the food. Less of a walk.



Once everyone was done eating it was time for games and Kayla once again resumed her role of guardian for Landry. She basically made my night a breeze. Thanks, Kayla!


Everyone was welcome to wear costumes and Landry's class all dressed as superheros so I pulled out our old capes and we joined in! 


Miss Natali and Landry - she literally leaned into Natali for this picture like she couldn't get close enough. Which clearly makes me happy that my kids feel so safe and love their teachers so much!


After we made the rounds we gathered all of our stuff and headed home all ready for our next Halloween adventure!
