Practice Trick or Treating!

The kids get to go trick or treating today at downtown Mt. Clemens! It's from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and all the stores d/t are giving out candy to the kids, along with story telling and Rosco the Clown performing. Should be pretty fun for the kids and a great practice session for them, lol. What I like about it is that it is during the day so you can see clearly! This is the first time the city is doing this, so it will be interesting to see how many people participate in this event. Daniel will go as Davy Jones, James will go as Jason and Elizabeth will be Cinderella.

The boys along with their Dad went ice skating last night. There was an open skate night from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. and Daniel wanted to practice his stopping before his next class. Perry said they did good, but that Daniel is still struggling with the stopping...poor kid. LOL! When they got home, you could tell they had fun though which is what really counts.

We had a great time Thursday at Mark Twain's Fall Fun Fest! The scaled the event down quite a bit with not as many activities and I noticed it wasn't as crowded as it normally is. We all got a hot dog, bag of chips, donut and apple cider as our meal. James' good friend Nick joined us and they all went on the Moon Walk twice, listened to a scary story, picked out their own pumpkins and decorated them, went on a large inflatable slide, and searched for candy in a pile of hay. We also all went on a hay ride that drove around the school's playground. The weather was gorgeous and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Perry and I picked out 2 more pumpkins on the way out, so we have a total of 5 small pumpkins to put out on our front yard for Halloween. I think they are baking pumpkins, so I will look into some recipes to see if I can make something yummy with them, too!
