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.
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.
The sunshine has made a return, and we are thrilled to see it. Today we are going to be busy outdoors all day. There are so many Halloween activities going on this weekend, and the boy’s and I are going to go to as many as we can.
This morning we are going to do Creepy Crawly Crafts at the Community Center. There will be face painting, crafts, and maybe even a snack or too. Thade already wants to get a spider painted on his face.
This afternoon we are meeting Shaunna and Sheldon downtown for a mini-parade of Halloween costumes and Trick-or-Treating at local businesses. Dylan will be a little Tiger, and Thade will be our fearless Iron Man.
We are baking a batch of Spooky Halloween Cupcakes this afternoon, and making a few batches of Sweet Tea too. My Mother in law and Sister in law are visiting today too. I can’t wait to give Jill a big hug!
This evening, we have a super fun local tradition to go to. This evening we will be riding the “Haunted Trolley”, and taking a local Ghost Tour. We went 2 years ago, and it is so much fun, and not too scary.
Do you have a lot of Fun Fall activities planned this weekend too?
Well we had to look around just a bit, but we finally found some pretty Fall Leaves. I love the bright red Maple leaves on the trees downtown. They are just starting to change to their beautiful Autumn colors.
The rain is back today, and I’m hoping that the cooler weather will bring along even prettier leaves.
Are your leaves starting to change to their pretty Fall colors too?
Well I guess it is never too early to start decorating for Christmas… Yep, that’s right, you are looking at Christmas lights, in October! When I took Thade to school this morning, I noticed that most of the Christmas lights are already on downtown, hmmm maybe they are starting just a little bit too early this season, the leaves have barely changed. Thade thought it was pretty funny though.
