Pre-Halloween Fun!

We have been preparing for Halloween for what seems like the whole month of October. Here are just a couple of ways that we have been getting ready - First, we swam in the corn box at the Hollow.
Next came playing and jumping in the hay. Daddy wanted a roll in the hay, but Mom deemed that as inappropriate!
A few nights after the Hollow we had a spooky dinner of mummy hot dogs, banana ghosts, banana and pepper bugs, and ants. It was Yummy!
And, of course, spooky.
For desert, pumpkin seeds....a big hit!
After dinner we helped clean out our pumpkins so that Mommy, the perfectionist, could pain stakingly carve them. Thanks for picking out such as complicated picture Pat!
Pat's pumpkin became a glowing skull and Sissy's became a booing ghost.
Our last pre-Halloween activity was a dress rehearsal at Zoo Boo. Patrick was a little disappointed that Hulk couldn't see a lot of the animals we usually see.
Sissy was cuter than ever and had a great time. Pop Pop and Grandma came with us and loved seeing the kids in their costumes. We are definitely ready to break out the candy buckets and hit the streets!
