Spooky season has officially arrived at the Clifford household this week. Weeks ago the girls broke out the Halloween decorations and have been not so patiently awaiting the start of the Halloween festivities. This week it finally happened. Due to parent-teacher conferences, Elsie was off of school on Wednesday-Friday, Carrigan was off Thursday and Friday, and Merrick was off on Friday. This meant extra time for some fun.
On Wednesday we had our church primary pumpkin patch activities. My girls both brought friends along for the pumpkin picking and activities. As is tradition, they had a fishing booth, doughnuts, Halloween tattoos, and the kids played on the playground. Since C.C. enters Young Women's next year, this is her last pumpkin patch. She made the most of it and it was a good time had by all.
Friday, we took advantage of the day off and I hosted a Halloween party for all the cousins who wanted to participate. We ended up with all my kids, Nana, Aunt Emily, and all the Brown kids minus Colvin. In all fairness to Colvin, he may have participated, but had surgery that afternoon on his ankle after a very serious injury in Football on Tuesday. His was definitely an excused absence.
For those that attended, we had an afternoon filled with Halloween festivities. We painted mini pumpkins, bobbed for apples, decorated sugar cookie jack-o-lanterns, and watched a Halloween movie (complete with Halloween popcorn with candy corn, Reses Pieces, and mini chocolate chips). It was a great way to spend a school free afternoon.
