The Not So Haunted Weekend

This past weekend was chuck full of events.  The kids had a few days off of school and our cousins came down for some fun activities.  On Friday we joined them at the Children's Museum and the kids had a blast.  Such a fun place to go for little minds.  We even went to the haunted hallows room and that was quite fun to wonder around in the dark. 

Saturday we joined Grandma Mary at the annual Pumpkin Festival Party.  The kids loved it and it is always a nice time to do a trial run on their costumes.  They got free pumpkins amongst a bag full of other goodies.  They even got their face painted.  They had a blast. 

We then met with the neighbors to plan out our "Haunted Cul De Sac" for the upcoming Halloween night.  It is going to be such a blast and I will post more pics after the event. 

Saturday night the cousins and their parents slept over.  The kids tried to build a gingerbread haunted house but it would not stay together.  Aunt Lori even sat and held it for about 10 minutes but it still did not stay so we gave up and decided that we had a "not so haunted house" mess on our hands. 

Sunday was Sue and Denny's annual Pumpkin Carving party.  Once again it was such a fun time.  The kids always love it and get so spoiled.  They had big treasure hunts this year and Sue's neighbor dressed up like a witch.  My favorite part was that K did not think she was real so he ran right up to her and when she moved her head and looked up he jumped back and ran right over to Sue as he was so spooked by it.  It was funny!  I do not have pictures from the party as I forgot my camera but they all carved (with help) scary faces on their pumpkins so they will fit into our "haunted" cul de sac. 



It was a great and busy weekend.  We look forward to the upcoming Holiday weekend and all the fun plans we have.  Stay tuned for a report on the Haunted Cul De Sac!  Have a spooky week!
