Halloween 2010, Part I


(Side note, please excuse some photos as with some, our phones were the only camera we had.)
This Satuday, October 30, we had one amazingly busy day!  We started out with meeting Grama, Aunt M, Aunt M&M and cousins at The Old Cowtown Museum for a special Halloween Event they had featuring the Headless Horseman(of which we unfortunately never took a picture of despite seeing him several times).  We also enjoyed taking a walk through one of their "Haunted Houses", but we didn't experience anything ;)  Though is was only sometime around 2pm.

The kids also enjoyed taking several trips on the Wagon.  They've taken so many trips on that Wagon, that our nephew Big G has the horses names memorized!  I think that is all of the kids favorite at Cowtown.  We also talked to a Scottish Couple, in character(convincingly might I add)about Haggis.  Mmmm, sounds yummy, doesn't it! *add sarcasm here*  It was a fun time!

Getting in line for the "kids in costume" parade.

Time for the Costume Contest!  Neither of our kids won, but they both received lots of applause!

All the kids thought that it was pretty cool that this horse was painted like a skeleton!

Taking a walk through the barn.  They also took a good look at the chickens, Bubbie and Boo liked that the chickens had feathery feet.

Our Nephew, Little G, LOVES brooms!  It took some convincing that he couldn't take this one ;)

Later, Saturday evening, we had a Halloween Party to attend at J&G's house.  Bubbie and Boo always enjoy playing with their little one, K.  K was Spiderman!  A very cute one, might I add.  We had two superheroes that night!  We all also enjoyed lots of yummy food and goodies.  Once we arrived home, it was around 11pm.  Both Bubbie and Boo went to bed more than willingly and slept until almost 10am on Sunday!  Which was nice for Mommy and Daddy!  Not too many opportunities for sleeping in in this household.  I would say that Bubbie and Boo enjoyed all the kids they were able to play with that night!

Also for this party, I made some Halloween Surprise Rice Crispy Treats!  They were delicious, if I do say so myself :D  What that wonderful treat includes is of course, marshmallows, rice crispies, Reese's peanut butter chips, milk chocolate chips and special Halloween marshmallows.  I really outdid myself with those, yum, yum!

Saturday was a crazy, fun filled day for our little family and I had two tuckered out kids that were probably also on a good sugar buzz!  No shortage of candy this week.  We will have to eat very healthy the rest of the week to make up for this weekend.  Wish us luck!

Don't worry, more to come!  In the next post I will share a few Halloween Party photos and trick-or-treating!
