Halloween Weekend

We had a busy Halloween weekend...How about you? I spent Friday at my Youngest son's school. The 2 Kindergarten classes put on the cutest little play Friday morning.

Here's my Youngest posing with the pumpkin that he helped carve on Thursday.

Hugs from Grandma after the play.

His Halloween party was later that afternoon and of course I forgot the camera!

Our city is the home of a major University and we had a home football game with 80,000+ people in town to attend, so the city opted to keep Halloween scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 31st rather than move it to Saturday like every other town in our vicinity did. These pictures are from Sunday (when we had 82 degree weather here...I was wearing my capris and a TANK TOP!)

My boys...weapons...FIGHT!

We live in the south in the middle of the bible belt...not only will you find the traditional Trick-or-Treating, but every other church (and we have them on every block) will hold a Fall/Halloween Festival. We went to 2 of these on Friday and 3 more on Sunday. They will set up booths where you can play games and get candy, often they have free hotdogs, chips and drinks and sometimes a non-scary walk through. Sometimes they set up in the parking lot and have a "Trunk or Treat", where they set up game booths in the trunks of cars and when you finish a game you get some candy. These are always fun, and my husband (who can be a bit of a "Bah Humbug" would rather attend these than go out Trick-or-Treating door to door.

Happy Halloween.
