Halloween Festivities

Samuel (Dragon Slayer) and friend Owen (Prince Eric) at a Halloween party a couple weeks ago. This party/extravaganza (the host’s home was a huge estate on the lake) was complete with it’s own pumpkin patch and hayrides. They pulled out all the stops for 30 of their children’s closest friends. I am so not that kind of parent! A Fer-eezing and bumpy hayride at a nearby farm (literally down the street). We went with Sam’s preschool class.

When the driver stopped to let the kids out at the Pumkin patch, there were groans from the parents who had finally gotten comfortable and warm. Straw is a great insulator by the way. My legs were down right toasty under a heap of straw. Sam and Benjamin found other uses for it however, Sam thought it would be fun to throw it and Benjmain tried to eat it. When we got out to find pumpkins, Benjmain and Samuel naturally ran in opposite directions, so the whole experience is kind of a blur.

This turned out lousy, but wanted to post this since Sam got such a kick out of it. Yes, it’s fake.
We made Halloween cupcakes with the Petsch’s. It was a great time as always.
