Two weekends ago, we had our Annual Halloween Weekend in Kansas City. It was fabulous!
The weather was perfect--overcast and windy, yet still warm and lovely!
We took the kids to the pumpkin patch first. It was fun--as always! I've come to the realization, though, that I hate picking out pumpkins. Every year it's a nightmare trying to carry them back to the tractor and this year I think they picked out the biggest, heaviest, yet. Next year I may go with a strict, "You Pick, You Carry" rule.
We also took the boys to Night of the Living Farm at Deanna Rose. Instead of wearing their actual costumes the boys wanted to pick something out of the dress up room. Henry picked his "Spiderman" costume--the one where Spiderman has a cape and looks very similar to the devil. We made Gigi claim him!
Among all the fun stuff at Deanna Rose, I think my favorite is the Dance Party Stage. I love watching those boys jump and spin around up there--plus they get candy after ever song so they really love it! They started it off kind of slow this year with some Phil Collins, but soon enough they livened it up with some real dance music. My goal next year is to get Eli up there!Before we left we also got to go to a Trunk-or-Treat. It was full of hair spray painting, fire trucks, fresh kettle corn, and the park. The best thing about it was that we got to sit down and just watch the kids for most of it! It was nice and low maintenance!
It was a jam-packed weekend. I loved it! It's a weekend that I look forward to all year long!
(if only that was the size he acutally picked out!)
