Halloween fell on a Monday this year...interesting way to start off the school week. Hayden was so excited to dress up as Scooby Doo this year and I decided to go with the maiden costume again.
Hayden got to play games and frost cookies at school. After school, we went to my mom's house for a taco soup dinner before trick-or-treating. My friend Marc, who dressed up as Superman, joined us too. We ended up trick-or-treating with Hayden's friend, Rex, who lives next door to my mom. Brooke, Travis, and Gage came over and we went out with them for a bit later on.

Here I am with Brian doing the whole Haunted House thing at Nightmare on 13th.

The Mayan

We had a birthday dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Barnes, Brooke, Travis, and Gage at the Mayan on the last night it was open. Hayden got to have his volcanic dessert that he has been talking about forever.

After school on Hayden's "actual" birthday we went to Boondocks. Hayden wanted to play mini golf, and luckily the weather was nice enough outside for us to play. We also played some of the arcade games too.

Then we went home and Hayden opened presents from mommy. He got an Angry Birds game, clothing, and his own computer (an educational one for kids).

Hayden's 6th Birthday Party

This year Hayden decided he wanted to have his friend birthday party at the Living Planet Aquarium. We ended up having the party a week before his actual birthday during the UEA break. Hayden had 10 friends come to celebrate with him and the kids all had a great time!

These are the party bags we put together for the kids...it was filled with "under-the-sea" themed treats and non-edible goodies.

I decided that cupcakes would be much easier to serve this year instead of a birthday cake. So I made fish, octopus, and crab cupcakes.

Here's Hayden blowing out the candles on the fish cupcake he picked out.

Yummy...cupcakes, icecream, and drinks!

Opening presents! Hayden got some fun, cool gifts from his thoughtful friends.

After opening presents, Hayden and his friends (along with Grandma and Grandpa Barnes, Aunt Brooke, Jenny Gonzalez, and mommy) went and explored the aquarium. Here's a shot of the group: Gage, Ty, Abbi, Hamilton, Sophia, Graci, Marcello, Hayden, Rex, Graci, and Paige.
