Along with our regular studies this week, we have been having a hauntingly good time preparing for Halloween! We started with our annual trip to the local pumpkin patch. Pleasant Valley Farm is the best one around in my opinion. Not only is the family down to Earth, but it is an actual farm that the pumpkins grow on....not a parking lot where they have been assembled. Besides pumpkins, they also had a petting zoo, hay maze, hay rides and hot cocoa. Not to mention the Christmas trees growing everywhere you look just waiting for their big day coming up in December! Here are a few pics my friend Tara was gracious enough to send to me since my camera mysteriously had no batteries in it that day!!! We had such a great trip with our home school group! This is one of our very favorite events of October!
We also got together with the group this week for a pumpkin paint. The kids got together, shared their costumes, played, and painted to their heart's content. It was a wonderfully spooktacular afternoon!! Here are a few select pics....

This one is a Dracula by me :)
Later this week we plan on our annual trip to Camp Cute n' Spooky and a trip to Grandma's to trick or treat. Then, on Halloween night we will carve our ghastly pumpkins into eerie spooks that will haunt until daybreak. Will update pics this weekend!! Booooooooooooooooo
