Halloween Parties


My preschool's "Octofest" was last Friday night. It's a really nice tradition that my school does. It's our annual carnival, which runs solely on volunteer help and donations. It comes complete with a hayride (which was really fun!) costume portraits, a "Batty Boo-tique" for face paint, nail polish and jewelry, a fortune-telling gypsy and lots of carnival-type games. Magically, every year, everything works out. Alumni kids come back every year; older kids are now signing up to man games :o) All the games are free of charge and the kids win candy and toys. I dressed up as Minnie Mouse for the event.





That Saturday I also went to a friend's Halloween party. Adam wanted so badly to dress up like Old Gregg, but we couldn't piece the outfit together in time. So, he just went in a Frankenstein shirt.

Pumpkin Patch

So, we took our second annual trip to Owen's Farm to pick out pumpkins. This year, Dave, Penney and Sofia came with us. It was nice. Dixie enjoyed having Sofia there...and we may have gotten our Christmas card photo :o)
