Our month of Halloween Fun has been, for the most part, successful. Once again I did not take nearly enough pictures.
The favorites were the rock spiders, candy corn sugar cookies, Halloween bingo, Don't eat Frank, witches stew, toilet paper Halloween guys, owl smores, the hay maze, making Halloween bags, Halloween jokes (perfect humor for young boys), carving pumpkins, and of course cuddling up and watching the movies (charlie brown may have been the favorite)
I was not always good a letting it happen every night. Sometimes by the end of the day I was done and wanted them to just go to bed. There was a night or two when the boys reminded me that we did not do the activity. I told them we would do two the next night...just go to bed!
We did not do the fall roast, make haunted houses, make skeleton gingerbread men, or make the spiderweb cheesecake. But I don't think they missed out. I've learned that the most simplest things make their day.
I hope they are always grateful for the simple things in life.
