Halloween Party

Thursday night John's office had a halloween party for everyone. I dressed the kids up and headed up to his office with brownies in tow. John met me downstairs to help bring all the kids and goodies up to the office for the fun. As soon as we walked into his office, the kids squealed with delight. Balloons were EVERYWHERE! On the floor, on the ceiling, even taped to walls. Abby was in heaven! We let them play in the main lobby for a while, then went and dropped several things off in John's office so I didn't have to keep up with them during the evening. We headed back and the kids soon spotted all the food on the conference table. It was a rectangular table with sharp edges and came right about eye level, of course. Jake immediately dove in and tried to grab a handful of raw veggies, Abby even managed to eat a raw carrot. Who new, I figured it would be a while before they could gnaw on raw veggies.
Later, Jake discovered the brownies. Mmmmm, he convinced daddy to give him THREE throughout the night. I had to intervene and stop dad after the third one and said no more! The boy has never had a brownie and he doesn't need three this late in the evening. Give him something from the meat and cheese tray!!! Actually he won't eat the meat, just the cheese, but that's okay. Abby won't eat the cheese, just the meat so they make a perfect pair.
Later we played a few games. There was a ball toss, pin the nose on the pumpkin (which Abby won in her age group!) and a decorating contest. The guys were all supposed to decorate their office windows this week and we judged them at the party. Mr. Scrooge never decorated his and was the ONLY one who didn't. Donna, the glue that holds the office together, felt sorry for him and quickly decorated it Thursday during work before we all arrived. Go Donna!
We all had fun at the office party and the kids got a great gift bag for attending. We ate way to much junk food and the kids were so wound up when we got home.

Abby would collect about 6 balloons and then give them to people (all 6 to the same person). Then she'd turn around and start collecting more balloons.
Abby spotted dad on the other side of this window and was trying to get his attention.

Jake loved the ball toss game. If the balls didn't come out of the bottom though, he'd climb up on the box to get them.
