Halloween

I totally forgot that I didn't post about Halloween and our adventures during that month.

In September we bought Audrey costume. She wanted to be Rapunzel and if we didn't get it early we wouldn't be getting it at all. I originally thought that I was just going to make the costume but after looking at the pattern ($16.00) and looking at the fabric (about $25) and then the time that it would have taken to sew the dress (3-4 hours) the $45 from the Disney store wasn't sounding half bad.

We ended up getting her some light up shoes and the Rapunzel wig. I think the total for everything was like $65 or so. Not bad (at least I didn't think so).

About a week before Halloween Audrey was getting watched by Patricks mom and he decided he wanted to go to something haunted...we ended up going to the haunted forest in American Fork. In hindsight we should have payed the $5.00 extra to skip to the head of the line. We stood in line for over an hour and then the forest took over and hour to get through. It was a ton of fun and really funny.

*when I get in a scary situation I tend to start to giggle about it and I was just giggling the entire time.

You weren't allowed to touch the actors but there were a few times where they were so close to me that I wanted to reach out and tickle them. It was pretty great. I had never done the haunted forest before.

By the end of it we were pretty much done with the whole thing and felt that it was about 15 minutes too long. But we are old fogies and I bed the teenagers didn't think it was long enough.

On the Sunday before Halloween (the day before) we went over to my moms to carve pumpkins. Audrey of course wanted to carve a cat.

 

Audrey's is on the far right, mine is the jack, the happy face is Collins brother Justins, and the far left pumpkin is Katherine and Collins. By the time we got to Patricks pumpkin we were all carved out and never carved his. 

Hail to the King...pretty cool huh?

On Halloween we went trick or treating around the neighborhood and that was a ton of  fun. Here she is in her costume.

 And here she is trick or treating. 

This past month we also got a piano here is Patrick and Audrey singing some church songs and Audrey singing making up her own words to the song.



I guess that is it for now.
