Bailey's Halloween Party

Bailey's party was on Saturday evening. We had a lot planned, and they were quite busy! Shawn and I both loved Bailey's costume. The wig just made the whole costume. We also had a Disco Diva, a Pink Lady, a Red Devil (not pictured above), a Candy Corn Witch and a Purple Witch. Very cute costumes. Unfortunately, Bailey's wig did not last long. She was very hot and itchy.

Right away, they decided to play some games: musical tombstones, skull relay (balanced on a spoon), and pumpkin relay (balanced on their head). They also made toilet paper mummies and played Twister. They were all very brave and tried the awful looking brain that I made from peach jello. Hahaha. I couldn't believe that they were willing. We had pizza for dinner, and later they decorated two cupcakes each. I think the big hit of the night was the white masks that Shawn had picked up for them. We took plenty of pictures with them on (both white and then later when they colored them!) They loved them. And they were quite creepy. Kale even got in on the fun, and decorated one.

All the girls spent the night and we had the usual dose of girl drama. Two girls disagreeing at one point, and one little girl missing her mom and needing to call home twice. All in all everything worked out fine. In the end I think most of the girls went to bed close to 3am. I got up several times to remind them to be quiet (ha) and to go to bed (double ha). I think when Shawn got up around 3am was when they finally thought it would be a good idea to settle down. Thank goodness. Once all the girls were picked up on Sunday, I quickly went upstairs to take a nap. I'm still tired today!
