The start of our Halloween week of fun...

On Monday, October 27th we started out our day making Halloween cards for someone special...

 We had fun adding Halloween stickers!
 The weather was absolutely gorgeous!!!!  We had a blast raking leaves with our new kid sized rakes!  We spent the majority of the day outside!!!


















 We played a Halloween board game...

 We intended to celebrate Addison's 7th birthday, but she had a special afternoon with her Dad instead.  I took a picture of J (brother) in her place...

 I can't believe we are still picnicking outside WITHOUT jackets on October 27th!!!
 We conducted a science experiment with a balloon being that we were celebrating a birthday...
 We added white vinegar to the water bottle, and put baking soda in the balloon.  I placed the balloon over the top of the bottle and poured the baking soda into the bottle.  It immediately caused a chemical reaction and the gas that was released filled up the balloon.
 I love this pic!  Almost everyone has backed away, but N is just holding her ears.  She wanted a front row seat regardless if the balloon popped! :)
 This is how big the first balloon got...
 We wondered if it would happen again with a second balloon....
 and again with a third balloon...
 At the end we added more vinegar to the bottle and watched it overflow like a volcano!
 Each time we conducted the science experiment the reaction was less and less.  You can see the kids playing with the "Mommy, Daddy, and baby" ghost balloons! :)
 A- ended up picking up her brother with her Dad, so I gave her a treat and snapped a pic real quick!  Happy birthday A!  You are so sweet!
