Mash of Activities for My Lil Monsters

We've had a lot o' Halloween fun thanks to mask making:













Lattin's Cider Mill/Farm (A for Atmosphere/F for pumpkin selection; already had to throw one of 'em out?!) Tried to sport the seasonal orange, but had to make boys peel off purple outer layers for glimpse despite the rain:/


















T'was fun nevertheless with Aunt Britt & Ben in town esp 'cuz t'was his first Halloween!!























We decided to indulge the 2 youngest in a pony ride. Prob had to be there, but silly to hear Huey's homage to Backyardigans when we sang "Ridin' the Range--Ridin' the Range --Let's Go!" & he came around again shouting "Ya-hoo!"


















Promise I take plenty o' pics of the other 2 boys ie Cole the Scarecrow n' Dane singin'/dancin' the rain;














However, Luke was the one who really got into the selection process this year except for maybe during his "children of the corn moment":
We moved the fall festivities indoors to Charlie Safari after soggy morning @ the pumpkin patch!
First time for even dad to try laser tag...7 rounds:)






















Ben napped like a good boy amidst the chaos, so Britt & I just watched the madness while Luke jumped around in toddler area & Cait earned some serious tix in the arcade!






















Tried out candied pretzel sticks/ghost cookies/mummy pizzas (all about food even before actual trick or treating:)

















Last but not least, squeezed (perhaps squoze?:) in traditional pumpkin carving although I didn't get the memo that our cool green one home-grown by Bergesons in Central WA that Dane elected to carve was NOT HOLLOW. Thus my dirty work took bit longer than usual prior to their design time. Don't let Cole fool you-he volunteered his efforts when last scoop required before literal carving could commence:/
