Halloween is in the air! We are prepping for the Halloween Festival for the homeschool co-op (which I am helping to organize this year), making costumes and cramming in few Autumn activities in any spare time!
Yesterday, I took Reed, Blossom and one of her friends to the corn maze. They LOVED it! For the first time, Blossom actually did the maze!
First, they practiced in the hay maze.
They entered the maze quite excited, though about 1/2 way through we had to take a little break!
After we found all the stations and hole-punched our map, Taran and Reed did the second, smaller maze. Blossom was feeling about done with mazes until she found out that one maze was a story maze! The stations told parts of a story, she loved that!
Next, we checked out the hill slides. Blossom had forgotten that she came here 2 years ago and did the slides all by herself. Here's her friend going down the slide, and Blossom sitting reluctantly at the top:
After much coaxing, she finally went down, and had no interest in doing it again. While the boys slid to their heart's delight, Blossom sat at the bottom making a pile of straw... which then became a pillow for her to rest on!
We all had some fun in the corn box before we had to pack up for the day!
We had other things to do with our day after all! Like make Halloween costumes! Reed has actually been working on his for quite some time. Blossom changed her mind so much about what to wear, that I had to put off making hers until pretty close to the holiday. She is going to be Tiger Lily from the Peter Pan movie. The costume still needs some tweaking and final details, but here's what we made so far:
To end on a totally random note, just for an excuse to include more photos of this sweet girl, these are from dinner last night. She was cracking us up. She finished most of her dinner and proceeded to take her fork directly to the saurkraut jar.
I was a little worried about the size of bites she was taking, but she just kept munching away! The girl loves her kraut!
