Halloween Spooktacular 2014

Carving out time.

Pack's Pumpkin Patch

October 13-19 UEA Weekend

 This week is always a fun and crazy time.  Jeron and JJ go on the deer hunt while us girlies stay home.  We aren't about to sit around and pine away for them.  We always live it up.  It becomes a massive staycation.   The week started out with tending Mac and Keegan.  We hit up two parks.  Both were beautiful.  Elsie had never been to Woodland Park and she thought it was pretty cool.  We had fun dancing on the stage and singing our hearts out.  The Castle Park never disappoints.  It was gorgeous down in the gully.  We were loving all the autumn colors.  Emma sewed her first scarf.  She is loving Young Women.  Once the boys headed off on Thursday morning the fun began.  We went to Gardner Village and saw the witches.  Then we headed up to the cabin to see the leaves.  It was stunning up there.  

The colors were so pretty at woodland park   We loved every minute there.

Elsie and Ellie loved the park so much.  They were in heaven dancing and performing.  Emry, Mac, and Keegan just thought it was a lot of fun to run on.

 Elsie read the littles a story before naptime.  It was so sweet.

 These two have found a secret hiding place under the tree out front.

 The castle park was stunning with all its colors.  Every where  you looked it was like a painting.  

 It was a jolly adventure down in the gulley.

The Witches are always a delight.

 I loved this one.  Hagtag Gardner Village

 We love all the witches. 

These ladies all know how to do sassy.  Holy cow there is a lot of sass in these pictures.  Right before we left we ran into a woman that had lost her dog.  We tried to help her find it but we didn't have any luck.  I certainly hope she finds her. 

On Friday we bought t-shirts to make our Halloween tee's.  Then we went to the movies to see Meet The Mormon's.  It was so good and the girls liked it.  Elsie was a bit bored but liked it.  Then we went to Zupas for dinner. We came home and watched The Fault in Our Stars.  It was really good too.  On Saturday I took Elsie and Emry to the Pumpkin Patch.  They ran around and played in the haymaze and got goofy pictures.  It was a really fun time.  We then made our t-shirts and then I gave the littles pedicures.  Then we made pizza and had a great night together.  It was a great girls weekend.

After we saw the movie I just happened to run into Heather Goddard after all these years.  I was in 6th grade when I saw her last.  We were the best of friends.  It was so nice to see her.  Elsie just happened to snap this picture of us.

Before we headed to the pumpkin patch we dropped Ellie off at mapa's house.  She wasn't up for all the fun we were about to have.  When we got there they spied papa out working in the yard.  They all ran to him...because they lub him.

The best part about the pumpkin patch is that it is FREE unless you are buying pumpkins.  They have so many fun things to do too.  Don't worry we will go back and get pumpkins.  But we have to wait for the fellas.

We made our Halloween tees while the fellas were gone.  I think they turned out pretty cute.  Emry's kitty did jump when we sprayed it so hers is a little off but still cute.

 After we made our shirts I gave Ellie and Elsie pedicures.  They really enjoyed that.  Then we made pizza and ate dinner.  It really was a very fun weekend.

We are always glad when the fellas get home safe and sound but it is always a wonderful girls weekend.  I sure do love my single ladies.
