Yesterday Shane had the day off and we spent most of the day getting ready for the Freeman Halloween Party. We made Taco Soup, breadsticks and pumpkin bars. Anita brought Chili, Mandy brought tortilla chips, Heather brought a jello salad, Justin did sour cream and sugar cookies, Haley brough cheese, Grandma and Grandpa Freeman brought no bake and pop and Grandma Schow brought pineapple cookies and rice crispy treats.
While we were getting stuff ready Phia was playing in her room and then we couldn't hear her at all so Shane went to check on her annd she was sitting in the scrapbook room with her new favorite book:
She loves this book! It has touchy feely pages. Shane brought her into the living room so we could keep an eye on her and she sat in her booster seat and pretended to read the book to herself. These are the only pictures I managed to get of the whole thing. I am so glad that she likes books and really hope they will continue to be important to her! I sure tried to plant the seed early hoping she would have a love for them!
My milk baby! This morning I took her milk to refill it and she just burst into tears until she realized what I was doing! She wanted to carry her milk and ice pack to the party but it was a little heavy for her!
Shane and I made these for the party and they were a hit! They are really easy and filled with candy alothough I have to tell you that Shane filled them and he put very few Snickers and Twix in them so he had them to eat later.
This is Kiersten as Tigger.....
Brisa as the Sleeping Beauty princess (sorry I don't know my princesses quite yet)
Phia as a bumblebee. She didn't like the hood on her head and kept trying to unzip it and get out! Boy was she a cute bumblebee and covered with black fuzz when we got her out of her costume!
Ryan as Spiderman.
Phia, Shane and I. I'm not sure why her fingers were in her mouth. She will probably be just like Shane and have to be in every picture pulling a funny face!
Group picture, kinda....Kaylea did't want to leave Haley as she had fallen asleep in the car and the rest of the kids were wondering why Tigger was crying and no one was picking her up.
That is one mad bumblebee!
Grandma Anita brought a Halloween Bingo game for the kids and a cute Halloween story to read to them. She eded up reading the story twice by request from the kids and Phia wanted the book for herself the whole time!
I wasn't going to take Phia to play Bingo because I didn't think she would be interested. Mandy took her over and started to play and Phia grabbed a candy corn and Mandy asked if she could have it and I told Mandy she loved candy corn. The game proceeded and everytime Mandy would put a candy corn on the Bingo board Phia would pick it up and eat it. She had 3 or 4 in her mouth at one time and then Mandy just stopped playing with candy corn and just remembering what had been called (I'm guessing.)
Phia with a mouthful of candy corn.
Grandma Anita gave them Halloween bags and Phia was delighted. She got a straw, a whistle, tatoos, runts, taffy, wagon wheels (Gerber), candy corn and a few other little things. She was having a ball pulling the whistle slide thing and pushing it back in. Mandy brought them Halloween marshmellows and Grandma Freeman brought them Rice Crispy Treats and Tootsie rolls and a spider ring which Phia wanted nothing to do with. She was all about the Tootsie rolls and didn't want to put her Ziplocbaggie down and then kept finding everyone elses wanting them open.
Anita brought her pirate costume for Shane to wear and Phia was quite enthralled with the sword so we decided she was going to be a sword wielding bumblebee. She was exhausted by the time we got home and barely opened her eyes as we got her ready for bed.
Everyone had a fun evening so I think it will become a tradition every year.
Well, I better go bath Phia and get her ready for the day. We need to take Halloween treats to my sisters I visit teach and get a soup ready for the Alpine potluck tomorrow!
