Our "Spook-tacular" Weekend!

Yesterday was Korbin's school Fall Festival, Justin took off of work early and came to his classroom open house and the festival with us! We had lots of fun going to his classroom's open house and then the festivities. Korbin started out by getting signed up in cub scouts (which was his idea totally, we know NOTHING about it) then the boys climbed the rock wall, then they did a few assorted carnival type games. Katara really wanted to go in the bounce house but it was all big kids that she shouldn't be in there with, so we let her "go fishing", play the lollypop tree game, and get her finger nails painted, she was pretty happy in the end with her activities. The boys had a blast Kane enjoyed popping the balloons with darts, and Korbin liked the rock wall but wished they had a better craft station like last year.















Today we carved our pumpkin, we let the kids draw pieces of paper that either had eyes, nose or mouth on them and then they got to choose what the part they drew would look like on the pumpkin. Korbin got mouth-- right away he knew he wanted a vampire pumpkin. Katara drew eyes but she got overwhelmed with all the choices that daddy drew so she traded with Kane and she chose the nose leaving the eyes up to Kane. This year Korbin didn't mind reaching inside the pumpkin too much, which is a first for him. Kane of course dove right in and Katara was a bit reserved but had fun in the end.










Tonight I was supposed to have CP30, Darth Vador and Pricess Leia however CP30 had an issue with his costume and ended up crying because he felt silly in such a wrinkled suit. He later changed into Wolverine after some pictures and was much happier (thank goodness for our extensive dress up bin!) As we were trick or treating in the rain people kept telling us how cute our little Princess Leia was, then Kane would yell back at them "Well I"m Darth Vador!" One time a group of dad's and kids walked by and one said oh hey Wolverine, Kane screamed to him, "Hey, I"m Batman!" Katara really understood trick or treating this year she would say Happy Halloween and then Thank You. After about 6 houses Korbin exclaimed " I have enough candy, we can go home!" but Kane wouldn't stand for that, all in all we went to probably 12 houses or so. We got home and we were all soaking wet. Now the kids are in bed sleeping away I have all the candy laying out to dry a bit before I put it in our candy bowl. What a great Halloween!
