It's raining, it's pouring...We made it to 5 houses, maybe only 4. Between the massive wind and rains, plus Maddax's confusion as to why he had to knock on the door to get a treat then couldn't eat it on the spot, made for a short lived trick-or-treating.
Hannah's school parade...some very interesting costumes in the older grades. Can I just say something though? What has happened to costumes? They all look and are made so cheaply...where is the quality? Can't believe I paid $30 for this Alice In Wonderland get-up and they didn't end finish the edges, just ran a serger over it-pshhh.
So my side of the family came over and we had dinner and carved our pumpkins. I think my brother has figured it out with the small pumpkins. With the big ones you are sick of the pumpkin by the time it is gutted and you don't feel like carving, right? My sharp memory forgot lights for the pumpkins....but hey, Halloween isn't for a few days. However, by the looks of it you would think Christmas is this weekend instead of Halloween. Why is it that trick or treating is always done when there are snow flurries in the air?!
We've gone to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point a few times this month. The kids love the slides, jumping, games and rides. We'll probably go a few more times before the end of the month. I suppose there is an upside to living so close to Thanksgiving Point (because it's definitely not the constant Christmas music in December that plays until 10pm!)
