Spooks come out at Night


The beautiful weather and Makenna's first Halloween turned the season into so much fun. We started out visiting a pumpkin patch in early October, carving jack-o-lanterns, and then Fall parties at school and trick or treating!




Ethan asked me to be his room mother for school so Ryan helped and we had a "Mad Scientist Lab" where the kids got to feel brains (stewed tomatoes), kidneys(jello mold), heart (jello mold), fingers (green olives), and stomach (cold, slimey spaghetti).
Then we did a Jump for Apples instead of an apple bob. The kids had a blast!



The girls and I took in the local Monster March downtown and visited all the businesses. They had over 2,000 kids preschool to 5th grade line up to trick or treat. It was the largest they ever had but it took forever.


Several of the area churches also sponsored "Trunk or Treat" this year. The kids got way too much candy between this and visiting family. Kaleigh went as a butterfly; Ethan a judge; and little BMak went as a snuggly little lady bug.


Happy Halloween to all and to all a good Fright!
