We spontaniously decided to head to my mom's the weekend before Halloween and we hadn't been to the pumpkin patch yet so we made that the event of the weekend. We went to Bi-Zi Farm. Such a great place. I would love to go there again!
Its not a sand box. Its a corn box!
The kids rode mini tractors for awhile. Then we went into an open barn housing a hay maze. We moved on to crushing corn for the chickens, sampling cider, and grabbing some kettle corn before riding the hay ride to the pumpkin fields.
Great Grandma & Grandpa's
We stopped by Grandpa & Grandma Iben's house in our costumes. It was something I always did as a kid on Halloween so I thought it would be fun for both the boys and my grandparent's to "trick or treat" there. They were surprised to have two little monkeys show up at their door. Grandma quickly made up a bag of goodies for the boys, exactly like we used to get.
While we were there, the kids took a trip out to the shed with my mom. They were so excited to find two plastic lawn flamingos! They crashed threw the door just thrilled to show me what they found. This was at a time they were really into the movie "Gnomeo and Juliet" about garden gnomes. In it there is a charactor named "Featherstone" who is a lawn flamingo. I think they thought they found a celebrity. They sure acted like it!
Halloween
We didn't do any trick or treating but the boys put on their costumes for the evening and we took a walk to a friend's house. Some friends from church came over and we set up a Glow Station outside our house. Families could grab hot chocolate, a glow bracelet and even warm up by the fire for a bit before heading back out for more candy. Here's the boys enjoying a nice hot cup of cocoa in the cold.
