Halloweekend

We celebrated this weekend, every minute of every day. On Friday Mason went to see Alan Kazaam at the Tecumseh Civic Center with his buddy Peyton, and helped make a birdcage disappear. I took the two little boys to the Family Centre for the alternative Halloween party, where they bounced and I panicked trying to keep my eyes on them both in the middle of hundreds of children. We made it through the pre-movie trivia for "How to Train Your Dragon", and then the boys were done sitting so we headed back home.

Saturday began with the last soccer game of the season, and it was definitely time to throw in the towel. I froze watching Mason defend his goal, and he froze defending it.
After the game we got ready for the big sleepover, three little boy friends plus our three boys makes for a wild and crazy night.
We played games, made our own pizzas, played more games, had cupcakes and then got down to the business of "sleeping over" (which I now know involves scary scooby-doo cartoons, popcorn, pillow fights, fart noises and very little actual sleeping).

By Halloween proper the boys were all exhausted. Ashton took a nap, and poor Blake fell asleep while he was chewing at the dinner table. He never made it into his costume, but slept 13 hours straight. Mason and Ashton had a successful night trick or treating, and I'm happy to report that the Halloween Witch tradition survived another year at our house, although we did have to concede more than just one piece of candy to each boy.
Monday feels like a nice break after our fun-filled weekend.
