I took the boys to Wal-Mart this morning with hopes that we'd have better luck there and find some Halloween costumes for them. Houston hit the jack-pot and found himself a super-cool Hulk Hogan costume (that is to die for). He begged and begged and wanted a gangster costume but he was on cloud nine (and I was relieved) when we found this one.
I took them to a Fall Festival at a local church just down the street from my work. They had a blast. We were there for over three hours!!! They really went all out and had lots of fun entertainment for the kiddos.
They had the normal carnival style games...fishing, shooting hoops, bobbing for apples, etc...But they also had a small haunted house, cake walk, and several other contests.
Houston won a confetti cake during the cake walk. He actually won the first three times, but we only wanted/needed one cake. They were just playing for fun.
They had a costume contest, coloring contest, hula hoop contest and pumpkin decorating contest. We only stayed for the costume contest and coloring contest though.
Of course, both boys loved the coloring part since they've both been so into coloring lately. And, they both WON for their age groups! Houston won two meal passes for Cici's and Austin won two passes to the movies. Score!!! They were both super-excited!
They served concession-style food there so the boys ate hot dogs and caramel apples.
All-in-all the boys had a fun-filled day. It sure beats setting at home watching TV or working. They were showing the movie Hocus Pocus and we had planned to stay and watch that too, but we were pooped!
And lastly, Houston won the costume contest!!! His prize was the Shrek Halloween movie, so they pretty much cleaned up on the prizes!!!
We're gonna hit another Fall Festival next weekend at a church just down the street from our apartments and then the big Fall Fest that the school puts on is the following weekend. We can't wait!!! Have I mentioned how much I ADORE this time of the year?
XOXO,
Stacy
