Halloween

Well we went on our Halloween haunted drive on Sunday. We just took a trip down Devil's Lake Rd, and visited an old home site which had a really spooky looking outhouse and well. Then we headed to Spooner, where there is a road that if you park a ghost hearse will follow you back to town. We were expecting a more deserted road, but there were actually several houses, so we didn't end up parking... it was a nice drive anyway. The most haunting thing about it was the crazy mooing of the cow from the farm behind us! :) It sounded quite psychotic.

I dressed the two little ones up for playgroup on Monday. They were so cute :) Almost all the little kids were dressed up and it was a full house! There were a couple of spider mans a couple of hens, snow white, a couple of different power rangers, a ghost, a dog, a princess, a penguin... it was pretty fun. The kids all had a blast.

I ended up taking Maria and Duncan out trick or treating after all. Maria was planning on going with the neighbor girl, but waited too long to call and ask, they were already taking two extra kids (along with their 3) and didn't have enough room in the car. I felt bad, so decided that since I was going to take her, I might as well take Duncan. I took them to the two blocks of town :) there were 3 house lights on one street, so we actually got to walk to a few houses. I hadn't coached Duncan on saying Trick or Treat since I didn't plan on taking them, but I worked with him on it through dinner - he said "ticka ticka" and "treat" - but of course he wouldn't say it (or anything else) when we got to the houses, but would say it on the way to the next house :) He's too funny - acts all shy and won't talk around people, but yet he wanted to run into everyone's house and make himself at home! So we went to the three houses in town and then went to a couple of houses on the outskirts of town... trick or treat here is much different as the houses are all a ways apart from each other - so it required a lot of in and out of the car... we only went to about 6 houses, but they had as much candy as they would have had going to 20 or more houses in the QC (and it took about as much time too)- every house gave a big handful of candy. They had fun anyway :)

Sugar High coming on ;)
