Happy Birthday James!
Its my hubby’s birthday today! I hope that he has a fun and relaxing birthday. The kiddos are so excited, you would think it is one of their birthdays… Once Thade is home from school today, we’ll bake Daddy’s favorite Chocolate Bundt Cake, and I’m planning a big dinner for James this evening. Happy Birthday Hubby!
One of our favorite Family Traditions during Autumn is to take a trip on the Haunted Trolley… Our town has a trolley that gives a tour a few times a day, and during Autumn they run the trolley at night, and tell tales all about the “haunted” places around town.
The tour sells out fast, so next year I’m going to make sure and buy our tickets extra early.
This tour was so much fun, Thade loved it, but the bumpy Trolley put Dylan right to sleep.
The Trolley features beautiful Green Glass windows, and pretty woodwork. I also love the brass handles, and rails. One day we’ll have to take the trolley ride during the day, but it is so much fun getting to see the sites at night.
Our tour was hosted by a hillarious lady dressed as a wicked witch. She told bad Halloween jokes, and made us all laugh, she even taught Thade how to cackle like a wicked witch. Even though she was supposed to be wicked, Thade said that she was the nicest witch he had ever met.
We all had a great time, and the trolley ride really put us in the Halloween spirit. Thade can’t wait to take the haunted tour next year, me too.
One of the fun things to do this weekend was the Costume Parade downtown. It was a nice sunny day, and the boys could not wait to go… Oh yeah, there was plenty of candy and good times trick-or-treating the local businesses too.
Thade loved getting to wear his Iron Man costume, and Dylan won second place in the animals category. I think he makes a pretty good tiger. The event was a lot of fun, and the boys brought home plenty of treats too.
Today is James and my Seventh Anniversary! I’m so excited, and I’ve already called and bugged him at work to wish him a very Happy Anniversary. Last night we stayed up late talking all about our wedding day, and all of the great memories that we have. We got married on a Blue Moon, and the weather was amazing for October.
I still can’t believe that it has been seven years, but it has been a wonderful seven years. Happy Anniversary!!!
One of the activities this weekend was “Creepy Crawly Crafts” at the local community center. Our neighbors were helping out with the event, and I thought it sounded like a great activity for the boys. Thade couldn’t wait to get there, so we went a little earlier than I had planned. When we got to there, the place was packed with kids! There was well over 100 kiddos busy making crafts, snacks, or getting their face painted.
I let Thade lead the way, and we made it to a few of the tables.
We got to make Treat Bags, and decorate pumpkins too. Thade loved the buttons the best. I have to agree, they were so cute. Thade even got a scary spider painted on his cheek.
I thought the pumpkins would make cute decorations for our lamps. I think that Thade is going to take his to show and tell sometime this week.
