Subdivision Halloween Party

I am on the Social Committee for our subdivision.  We had started with seven people on the committee and are now down to three.  It's really frustrating but we are trying our best to do fun things.  Today was our Halloween Party.  We got this dumped in our laps four weeks ago.  So we have been working really hard to get everything done with it.  We decided we would do 1/2 an hour of games, a costume parade, and then a strolling trick or treat. (There are not enough parking spots in our parking lot at the clubhouse to have a trunk or treat so we used the walking path behind the clubhouse). We had plenty of decorations so we decorated outside and did as much as possible outside.  I had Ben taking Rachel around to the games because I was in charge of the golfing game.  Scott actually showed up around 3:30 so that was nice.  He was able to take her around to the games again and let her do more things.  Here are some of the activities that we had going one.

 Bean Bag Toss (win a spinning top)

 Fishing Pond (win a sticky cat)

 Haunted House - The older kids kept knocking it down and we were getting frustrated.  Rachel loved being able to go into it.  She thought it was lots of fun.

It started to sprinkle at this time but Rachel and Scott got to lead the costume parade out and around the walking path.

After the parade we did the prizes for the costumes and then did the trick or treating.  It was chaos hence the reason why I have no pictures of the trick or treating.  Scott took her through the people who were handing out candy and when they got to the end she told Scott, "I'm done can I have a snack. Please!"  She is such a funny little girl.  She doesn't care very much about this whole trick or treating thing.

Shopping with Rachel

This is the new thing Rachel does when we go shopping. I was out shopping for candy for the subdivision Halloween party.  This isn't the first time she has done it.  She gets so tired and then falls asleep right in the cart.

I can't tell you how many people commented on her being asleep.  It was actually quite funny.

Church Trunk or Treat

Before we headed to the church we had to get ready.  Here is Rachel's clothes she wore today with her black nose that I had started for her costume.  

Holding her banana so that you can tell she is a monkey.  She loves this outfit and even though Scott tried to get her to wear a different costume this year she wasn't having it.  It fits perfect this year.

 This is her doing the cupcake walk.  She walked around several times and then gave up when her number never got called.  So we then went to look at the trunks.  There were some really creative ideas.

 She had to stand in this line for the costume parade.  Can you tell how excited she was about having to do this?  he he he

Scott was at work tonight and so I ended up talking this kid into handing out my candy and I took Rachel around to the trunks.  I didn't get time to take pictures while she was trunk or treating but after we got done they put the cupcakes out for anyone who wanted to eat them.  So she got her cupcake anyway.  It's so funny because she calls the "pupcakes".  After she got her cupcake she said, "Okay I'm ready to go."  She had all she could handle.  She also didn't like having a black nose and kept telling me to take it off.  She eventually rubbed it off as you can tell in this picture.

Sillyness

I just love the different outfits that Rachel puts on or how she puts things on her head etc.  This day I had done her hair and she found this headband.  I just laughed when I saw it.  She actually had two braids just hanging down but you can tell that with this head band it looks totally different.

 Loving have my picture taken in my dress up clothes.

One braid hanging down in the headband and the other one looped into the head band.
