Spooky Festivities

With only minimal events going on this year, we chose to purchase some early tickets for Boo at the Zoo. We knew that it would be a safe event to participate in but also some much needed fun for the kids. And it did not disappoint. On a Friday evening in the middle of October, we grabbed our costumes, loaded up the car and went to the zoo. The children were so excited to be wearing their costumes: 2 witches and 2 wizards!

The decorations and lights were awesome and throughout the zoo were also candy stations to fill up their buckets. 

For sure it was a fun, although quote chilly, evening:

We carved our pumpkins and this year, the children had to do the dirty work. As you can see, they did not enjoy it that much: 

Even though the children attend virtual school, the 1st graders still had some fun with pumpkins. Elliot had to count pumpkin seeds...his helper was right there by his side:

And a Halloween movie and snacks with his class and sister:

For Halloween, we decided to stay in and have our very own Halloween party. I decorated a bit and the kids and I put on our costumes: 

We put out some scary but delicious foods and watched "Hocus Pocus" for the first time with the kids.

We finished the night off by playing Halloween Bingo and doing Mad Libs. The children proclaimed it was the "Best Halloween Party Ever!" and they want to have one next year too. 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
