wee witches!

October 2nd - let the halloween festivities begin!!

Today we had to the most spooktacular day ~

with some darling ghouls!

My friend Angela and I met in high school - we became

such close friends and spent many hours laughing,

chatting and procrastinating deadlines on West high yearbook.

For the life of me I don't know how we lost touch but

thanks to good old facebook (which I previously knocked)

we reunited almost a year ago and were both overwhelmed

at how much time had passed (over ten years) and how

much we had in common.

Our best thing in common is our two little girls - Dakota

and Lucy are about three months apart - they would have

both been June babies but Lucy just had to come in

March to share her birthday month with me :)

These two are such cute friends and when

they play I get bonus time with Angela,

such a sweet, genuine, funny girl who I'm so glad to have reconnected.

We went to the first annual Breakfast with a Witch at

Gardner Village. This was such a fun activity ~

witches, music and a yummy breakfast buffet.

After breakfast we headed out to the village

to see pumpkins galore, festive activities and

of course some pumpkin fudge!

It is Wee Witches Weekend at the Village and you

shouldn't miss it!

We had fun in the photo booth,

made beaded necklaces, face painting,

halloween purses and

arrived at such a prime hour that we missed

a lot of the UEA insanity.

These girls made it through about 4 hours of

activities! Such troopers ~ but with so much

fun it was hard to stop. After the Halloween

and witchy stuff we headed for the harvest activities ~

Ang & Kota

Lucy's first non-freak out pony ride!

petting zoo time

baby calf - these sweet animals don't seem to mind

starting the hay maze ~

and they're off...

Such a perfect day.

p.s. same time next year Ang?!
