Sometimes it is really nice living on a military base. Today the base hosted a Fall Festival and they had carnival games and foods and pumpkin decorating. The kids had a blast! Nick kept using all of his tickets to go in the bouncy house. He got a dragon painted on his face and made a pirate pumpkin. Everyone wanted to hold Aidan because they said he was the cutest pumpkin they had ever seen. Of course Nick got lots of candy. Nick's teeth are going to fall out from all the sugar he has been inhaling in the past few weeks.
There is a tradition on base every year called Boo Baskets. Basically you fill a basket with Halloween goodies and then secretly place it on the door step of a neighbor and ring the door bell and run away. Then you put up a Boo sign on your door so you don't get another basket. We got booed a week ago and Nick is still working on all the candy from the basket. I am enjoying my pumpkin slippers that were inside. Nick was super excited to Boo someone else this year. He picked his friend Colton who is also our neighbor. So we picked out a Spiderman bucket and filled it up and Nick and I walked it over and Nick rang the doorbell and we bolted. He thought that was the best. He laughed so hard. Of course he ruined the secretive part when 2 days later I dropped him off for the carpool to school and he says Colton did you like your Spiderman bucket? O'h well. Someday he will get the total concept. We have 3 other Halloween parties this week. So I am sure there will be lots more pics to post. Enjoy!
