Halloween Party

I need to get a quick post up here because we're right in the middle of a crazy, busy weekend that started on Thursday! So many fun things going on it's making my head spin! It's going to be a challenge to get to everything but we're going to give it our best shot :)

After co-op on Thursday, we picked up my mom for the little Halloween party in Pickerington. She's a member of the Lion's Club in there so she usually has to work at the party but this year, she just wanted to see the sights. And boy did we see some sights! It started with a live pumpkin!
 Then we saw the mad scientist who had animated her!!
 "My creation!"
 We had to BEG Nicholas to put his costume on for one quick picture. Immediately after, he removed it and put it back in the car ;)
 Our kids never just smile for the camera ;) My mom's surrounded by crazy people! (and loving it!)

The first thing we did was so on a "Ghost Tour". I didn't take any pictures of that but they led us around town to stations where a "ghost" told us their story. We ended at the cemetery! It was good and spooky but not too bad at all. The kids loved it!

Some businesses passed out candy and some had a little haunted house to walk through:
 Everyone's favorite was the haunted house done up at the historical society:

 They had station of "monster parts". You could stick your hand in there and check them out...if you dare!
 Of course, our kids had to check out the gross stuff ;)
 There was a fortune teller too. Truth be told, I hesitated letting them participate. We do not have anything to do with occult-type stuff. I don't believe it should even be messed around with. But I let them in the end because I knew she was only pretending and not "really" telling their futures. She was really sweet to them telling them she could "see" that they like school and reading and that they should try really hard to do well.


  It was a fun haunted house!

Then we had to snap a quick picture at the prime photo-op in town ;)
Nicholas was thrilled ;) We had a great time!
