Playing Catch Up in a Major Way: Halloween Edition

We have found the funnest community event that takes place around Halloween time.  A family in Linden has a small train that you can ride on, and every year they turn into the Stringtown Nightmare Express.  It's a fun family oriented haunted train ride for families.  This use to be a free even and the families who hosted this did it all out of their own pockets and the kindness of the hearts, but because they have so many people visit now they ask for a small donation of $2 a person to help handle costs.  It is worth it!  We went I think a total of 3 times this year once with the Spanns, once with Greg and Erika and the girls and once with Miriam and the girls, and they boys just loved it.  Christian is dying to be one of the volunteers in one of the haunted tunnels. 


Our family loves that ipad game plants vs zombies and we had all decided to be characters from this game.  Well as Halloween grew closer Evan changed his mind and never wavered again, he wanted to be a BLUE monster!  He was very specific.  After trying to look online I was worried that this wish was not going to come true for my Evan boy.  We had over to Savers which is the best at Halloween time by the way.  And lo and behold what was the first thing I found in the brand new Halloween costumes but this sweet little blue monster costume.  Evan loved it and it was perfect!  Thank you SAVERS!!!!

We made home made rootbeer and jack-o-lantern pizzas for our Halloween dinner.  Christian thought the rootbeer was awesome.
