Spooky (Bingo) Weekend

We are in Halloween mode this week, and on Friday Maddy only had a half day at school so we could get a jump start on our Halloween-y weekend. We started by painting pumpkins. The kids decided to dress up their pumpkins to match their costumes this year: Owl Girl and Minion. (Minion needed a little more time to dry before he got completed.)



I also had to squeeze in some emergency pear preserve making to use up all the pears that the kids picked with Grandma and Grandfather last weekend. (Six hours later.....)



Saturday morning, we had to do some baking. Someone foolishly volunteered to bake three dozen brownies for Spooky Bingo. Luckily I had help, Audrey is a world class egg cracker! She cracked ten eggs and no shells!



And Maddy had time to finish her Minion pumpkin. (And Audrey had time to photobomb Maddy's photo.)





On Sunday, we got all costumed-up for Spooky Bingo. Owl Girl feels most comfortable in high places.



And Minion and Gru were clearly up to no good.





Spooky Bingo was a lot of fun, though when you work the bake sale, you never know what kind of yahoos you are going to have to serve.



It was a good test run for the costumes. Owl Girl can fly!



The weather was so nice and warm after bingo that we decided to take a walk at Deer Island.



It was a great spooky weekend. I think we are ready for Halloween.
