Countdown to Halloween
Halloween is coming, time to get out the plastic pumpkins, witches and broomsticks. Time to scare all the little kids that come to our door with fake eyeballs, intenstines and scary noises. Well as much as I would like to scare them most of our neighborhood is too young so I will stick to funny stuff… For now.
Saturday morning was the Cottage Grove Halloween Parade and Brandon got be in it. He was part of his Cub Scouts float and got to throw candy at the spectators, and I do mean throw. The kids initially started throwing them nicely but midway through the parade they were literally whipping them at the people. Good thing it was not too hard of candy. [Brandon is Indiana Jones]
After the parade Grandma and Grandpa Braun stopped by. Grandpa dropped off a really cool little pedal car for Aiden. He loved it and tried to pedal on it right away, he is just a bit small but I bet next summer he will be crusiing on it.
Brandon and I followed Grandma and Grandpa to their hotel at the Casino and went for a swim. Unfortunately, I left our packed backback at home. Brandon had his swimsuit on under his clothes so he still got to swim. I got to lounge back and watch them swim. After they got kicked out of the hot tub (A small sign stated 14 and up) we went to have supper at the casino.
Brandon had a blast swimming and in the parade so it was a good day.
Sunday was the first day of Brandon’s Faith Formation class. He really enjoyed his teacher which is no surprise since his teacher is Danith. Aiden struggled through mass, but the good news is that the church has a daycare opening next week where he will be able to play while we are in mass.
After church we hit the video store since it was snowing out! Brandon picked out Iron Giant and Danith wanted a Wii game called Boom Bloks. Brandon liked Iron Giant but not as much as he liked Iron Man.
I will have to post an update about Boom Bloks another day but in short it is a very fun game.
