I decided this year we were going to enjoy Halloween and try and do a few fun activities. We invented our 13 days of Halloween. Each day Braiden finds the pumpkin puzzle piece and puts it on his door. We then read on the back of the puzzle piece to find what we are to do for the day. Each day is something exciting and new.
DAY 1
Make a decoration for your room! We got foam papers and google eyes to make our project. We love hanging things from the lights and watching them twirl. We made a bat, pumpkin, candy corn, and ghost with google eyes. That is the boys favorite part. We then hung it up in the boys room from the light. They love swinging it and watching the eyes move!
DAY 2
Read Halloween Stories
We had a lot of fun finding all of our Halloween books and reading them. We have read them over and over and over again. It is great that the boys love to listen to stories!
DAY 3
Make caramel apples.
We melted the caramel and just drizzled it over our apples and then put sprinkles on top as well. Yum, Yum Yum!
DAY 4
Watch a Halloween movie!
We really didn't have one and so we watched SLEEPING BEAUTY! Maleficent is pretty scary:)
DAY 5
Carve a pumpkin
Braiden wasn't so sure about sticking his hands inside the pumpkin, but he finally did it and loved it. JT and Braiden did all the dirty work while Gavin and I watched. We decided to carve a scary face. JT did a great job on making our pumpkin scary. We then decided to pose and make a scary face with our pumpkin. Gav wasn't so scary. I am sure he tried hard though! We had so much fun being together as a family:)
DAY 6Go to the Corn Maze!
We decided to take the boys to HEE-HAWS. They have a ton of fun things for kids to do in the courtyard that we didn't even take them in the corn maze. We had so much fun just going around to the different places they had set up. We went through our own little hay maze, Braiden got to ride a pony, pushed a button and shot corn, rode on the tractor train, rode the swings, saw the big pig, jumped on the hay tramp, lassoed a bull, rode go-carts, saw chickens and goats, and had so much fun!
I love this picture of Gavin!We are having so much fun and can hardly wait to finish our 13 days of Halloween!
