Halloween Build-up

We’ve done a lot of getting-excited-for-Halloween stuff this year.  In addition to the Halloween Village, we’ve had spooky dinners and nightly scavenger hunts sponsored by Wilameena the Witch!  The boys play monsters and ghost … so I know I’ve done my duty as a Halloween loving momma.

Last Saturday Kevin took the big boys to the city’s pumpkin walk.  The elementary kids make luminaries to light the way, but because it was such a rainy day, the luminaries were a bit soggy and they weren’t able to find Ricky’s.  They had fun anyway.  Can you really go wrong with cookies and cocoa?

Aunt Suzy decided to help the boys decorate some pumpkins this year (all straight from our garden, thank you very much).  She brought over some very fun pieces and let the boys build away.  They all turned out pretty boo-tiful!

And I worked on my witch’s cackle as Aunt Suzy tried to get a picture with all three of them looking at the camera at the same time …
