Let's Rock: October 2011

Aka Halloween! For some reason, this year, i've REALLY gotten into the holiday spirit. I'm super excited for the next few months and the fun they will bring. This is my 1ST Halloween with my hubby and i've been ecstatic to decorate our home. It's not much but it's somethin! I did a few crafts in order to save on money {Halloween decorations can be pricey!} We didn't dress up this year {we didn't go anywhere that required costumes, I KNOW we are a little bit lame} But we enjoyed spending several evenings together celebrating. At the beginning of this month we went to a "haunted house" in IF called Dr. Slaughter's and it was interesting. We spent 45 mins. in line with nothing but {i joke not} middle school kids who were cursing/making out with their boyfriend/girlfriend {who are these people! I promise mom, i was not like that in middle school} Then the next weekend we went to the "Haunted mill" which legitimately scared me! It's this creepy old mill that then turned into a haunted attraction. There were spots where we didn't know if we were going the right way because it was PITCH black and some of those dark parts, you had to crawl. I didn't like the fact that James couldn't always fit right next to me, so i was exposed to the scary monsters/ghouls that seem to always come straight for ME! {I don't get it. Shouldn't they know that since i screamed at the sight of them, that i probably screamed at the sight of the other creatures, and the rest of my party deserved to be scared too!?} Anyways, then the other night, we went and got our pumpkins and carved them while watching Charlie Brown and The Great Pumpkin. Honestly, I can't recall the last time i carved pumpkins and it was a little bit of an interesting experience as far as how my pumpkin turned out {it's a lot harder than it looks} But it was still way fun. James had been waiting all month to try out the new design he found for a pumpkin and so here it is...
