A tale of a witch and two skeletons

Lots of changes at our house in the month of October. But somewhere, in the midst of it all, we found the time to enjoy a few fall activities.

We ventured out to Wheeler Farm for their hay/corn maze and tractor ride. Which was highly over-priced but made the kids happy.

I took my camera with, ready to take some amazing fall pictures....and then discovered I had left my memory card at home in the computer. I believe it may be time to invest in whole slew of memory cards so that I always have one handy.

Luckily cell phones these days are also equipped with cameras. Perhaps not the amazing shots I was hoping for, but I still managed to at least preserve the memory.

The elusive rooster.





The hay/corm maze literally took 3 minutes. And it only took that long because I kept making them stop to take pictures. Wanted to get my money's worth, you know.







I think this was "mom, why do you take so many picture? This hay is making my butt itch!"



At least I have 1 child who is always willing to pose for a picture.





Later on in the month we met up with some friends at Gardner Village



It is an eclectic little shopping area that decorates for the season with witches. Lots and lots of witches.



My own little witch fit right in.



These are her favorite shoes ever! I have lost count of the number of times I have filled in the toes with a black sharpie.





We have a little tradition at our house. In the morning I ask the kids what kind of cereal they want to eat that day. My oldest will make a choice and I can ALWAYS count on the youngest to pick whatever it is his brother is having. Every single morning. So I was not the least bit surprised when he also wanted to dress exactly like his older brother for Halloween.









In their black stocking caps when you were walking behind them they just looked like thugs.



And then because I am all sorts of crazy we took the kids up to Ogden to their Haunted Dinosaur Park. Unlike Wheeler Farm it was worth every single penny.

I did have my camera this time but I suck at night time photography and didn't get any great shots. Just snap shots.



The dancing skeletons beneath the black light.



With the triceratops, in case you couldn't tell.





And just for fun, this is how little they were LAST time we came to the dinosaur park.



Need a closer look?



Can you even stand the cuteness?

Okay, back to the present



And that was all the fun this mom could stand for one month!
