Kids Safety Village - Halloween
Yesterday after the mom 2 mom sale, we carved our pumpkins... Hadley's with triangles for they eyes, nose and mouth (kind of a zig zag really for the mouth but still with triangles), and Easton's with circles, aside from a few slits down from the mouth.
They drew their ideas on paper and after I took out the goo, Brian set to carving.
The kids painted smaller pumpkins and then wanted to try planting some of the goo outside.
Anyway, this set off the day/evening as I later took them to the kids safety village. I really like the concept. A town that has stop lights, street signs, sidewalks and roads, but without the cars. HOWEVER... with the weather so good...it was PACKED. Not really all that fun this time. We were there for almost two hours, and got to "trick or treat" in two of the buildings resulting in one lollipop and one small package of twizzlers. We did however get to go through the the graveyard and the haunted house. Easton loved it... Hadley said there were a few things that made her nervous. I didn't really like the open casket in the dark but the rest was okay.
Still, they loved dressing up, and we walked around with my friend Jessica and her family (I know them from C4 Moms). Hadley loved that McKenzie and Morgan were Elsa and Anna, which matched her and Easton (Elsa and Olaf). Their son Micah was Dusty from a plane cartoon currently on.
It was nice to meet her husband Gary though as I see him at the church all the time but have never actually met him. He is the congregational care pastor so he is often around.
The night ended with some free hot chocolate. Hadley enjoyed it but Easton opted out.
