Let the Festivities Begin!!!!

Well, it is official, the Halloween festivities have began. We still have one week until Halloween is officially here but that doesn't stop the Gallegos Family. We started the day off with a fun, non-scary Halloween party. We decorated pumpkins, played games and watched a magician. The kids had a lot of fun. Here is a picture I caught of the kids before we left. Jordan is Scooby-Doo, Isaac is a dragon and Sydney is a Dallas Cowboy's cheerleader. (Yes, the cheerleader costume goes over VERY well here in Ohio! LOL)

Then we came home, had some lunch, and all took naps. Next on the agenda was some good old fashioned "Haunted Gingerbread House" making. Yes it was messy and everyone really enjoyed it. Let's be honest. Anything that involves candy is enjoyable for our kids. Here is a picture of the kids with their "Haunted Gingerbread House."
Here is a view of the house from the front. Isaac did most of the "yard," that would be the front part with pumpkins and gummy-candies. (And a fruit roll-up pathway! You just can't see it for all the yard decorations!)

And a view from the back. The red thing is supposed to be a dead tree. This was the first thing Isaac wanted to eat when we dove in to it.

And here is a picture of the kids eating their house. It was all they could do to wait until after dinner to eat it. But I do have to say that they ate all of their dinner tonight. Go figure!

And here is a video of the kids eating the house.

And did you notice that Sydney shook her head "YES" at the end of the video. Her big thing right now is to say "NO" to everything. Well, she is definitely following in the sugar loaded footprints of her sister and brother.

So, we are preparing ourselves for a week full of Halloween parties, trick-or-treating, and dressing-up. I think I am ready but we will see how the week goes!

Love Ya and God Bless, Tara G.
