Halloween is my favorite holiday besides Christmas. Every year I do family theme costumes but this year was Kyler's first Halloween. I had to make it special so I had custom hats made for kids costumes where its cold in New Brunswick during the evenings. We went as thing one and thing two and I was the cat in the hat. My aunt knitted my bow and the hats and I got kids red shirts to put on over their coats and cut out and glued circles to them and wrote thing one and thing two. Next I made my black sweater a white belly for the cat in the hat. We stopped at the local church for the trunk or treat on our way over to trick or treat on the west side of town. Kyler was excited to see all the kids dressed up and the houses decorated. Halloween this year had great weather it was not snowing or raining and was made it a great night spent with the kids. We only did 3 streets and got a great amount of treats.
To make this Halloween special I decided to host a kids Halloween party. We had a great turn out of friends and kids. For the party Eloise was a girl buzz lightyear and Kyler was candy corn. To decorate for the kids party I did my hallway with streamers with balloons on the end which was a huge hit with the kids. It made the hallway from living room to the kitchen fun and a little scary effect for the kids. Since Eloise is 3 and Kyler 6 months I didn't have many activity's we had some different colouring sheets and paper masks to colour. also I picked up wooden ornaments that you can colour and a spider web with Halloween stickers for a craft. we decorated the kitchen with a Halloween table cloth and some window clings. For treats we picked out a little cake in which my mom surprised us with one that looked like Frankenstein. Eloise and I baked chocolate chip cookies too for the kids. We froze fake spiders in ice cubes for the drinks to make the kids drinks special.
