Halloween events

My weekend was pretty busy! On Saturday, the children at my church had a harvest party. I had to get up early Saturday morning to help set up. The kids came at about 12:00pm and so the chaos began! The kids looked so cute in their costumes. Some came as princesses, others were Star Wars characters. There were about 21 children total. After they ate, they played games, such as ghost bowling, eating a donut from a string and a cake walk. They got to make puppets and decorate pumpkins, which was my favorite. The kids were very creative!
Later on, I went to a friend's house and helped pass out candy. We didn't think there would be a bunch of kids, so we gave out a handful of candy. As time went by, however, more and more kids came up the street. My friend had the idea of passing out quarters. He went inside and took out this huge can full of coins and picked out all the quarters. I was worried the house would get egged, so I was careful not to show the kids (and teens!) what I put in their bags. Well, one little boy happened to hear the clink of the quarter as it fell into his pumpkin basket and asked what it was. I said it was a quarter, and his response was, "A quarter! Cool!" then ran off the porch to show his quarter off. That was the highlight of the evening! After we turned out the lights and locked the door, we watched a couple scary movies, such as "Fog" and "The Haunting of the Bell Witch." I didn't have nightmares, which was good!
