Halloween Family Fun

 

G-Man, Caroline, Alex, Mason and I loaded up the car with the baby paraphernalia and went to Auburn for the annual Downtown Trick-or-Treat festivities on Thursday night.  It was the first time for all of us and we totally underestimated it’s popularity.  There were so many people there, but it was a ton of fun!

 

Mason was the cutest cow/bull ever!!!

I argued for hours that he couldn’t be a cow because he is a boy.  I thought he should be a bull. Part of my argument was that there were horns on the costume and who’s heard of a cow with horns???  DUH!  Having grown up in the country around lots of cattle,  I should have known better.  Cows, can indeed have horns.  So, I lost this part of the argument, but I still think he is a little bull,  I don’t care what the costume package says!

 

Two blocks of the main street through town and a cross street were blocked off.

A live band was playing in the street under the traffic light at Toomers Corner. 

The sidewalks and the streets were hustling with happy children and their parents…

lots and lots of children!!!!

 

Alex and Mason pose in front of Toomer’s Drugs, home of the best lemonade

you will ever drink!

 

Aubie stopped head banging long enough for me to take the picture…Mason didn’t!!!

 

A very tired baby cow/bull fell asleep before we got back to the car.

 

 

some “Blue Creek Home” Halloween photographs

This scarecrow is so innocent and cute…until it’s gets dark!!!  

* He has been standing at this window for two weeks and it still

startles me for a second when I walk into G-Man’s office.

 

Alex carved Frankenstein Pumpkin

 

Caroline carved Owl Pumpkin.  I think it’s a hoot!  : )

 

I love this cardboard chandelier hanging in the foyer.

 

Hope that you all have a safe Halloween weekend!

  3. I had to laugh at what you said about the scarecrow in the window, Rhonda! I've done that myself where I've been startled by the shape of something in the night and it's something I've put out, so it's not like I don't know it's there! Mason looks adorable; what a fun time it looks like in your town. I just go with the blurry photos of my granddaughter. They move so quick sometimes that a perfect shot can turn into a blurry one and vice versa.
