Pumpkins in the mist

After a rain shower we visited our local pumpkin patch and corn maze.  The corn maze was tricky to maneuver and very slippery.   The fog and mist on the camera lens  produced some interesting pictures.

A spooktacular day

The next two posts should have been posted in October but time has slipped away.  So here are our fall October festivities

The weather here was extremely warm for October but that did not prevent us from having a Halloween get together.  The most fun was creating these cute egg Ghostbusters.  They were so easy to make and the girls loved them.

Happy Halloween



Happy and Safe Halloween to all.  Our yard is full of Halloween decorations as David goes all out.  A few pictures of our front yard and some cute Trick or Treaters.

You've been BOO-ed!

The doorbell rang last night and we opened the door to find a surprise. 

 We had been BOO-ed!  The phantom ghost left a pumpkin filled with goodies.  The note instructed us to share this Halloween Greeting with two other families. 

 

What fun ---- we filled two plastic pumpkins with goodies --left at dark to be sure no one saw us -- rang their doorbells and scurried away.  Now two more families have received a Halloween Surprise of  being  BOO-ed!

 

Have you been BOO-ed this Halloween Season?
