Trick or Treat

The kids and I went to Wiregrass Commons Mall on the Northside of town tonight to find some school shirts for my oldest son. We got there a few minutes before 4pm. When we first arrived we noticed the parking lot was way more packed than normal. When we walked inside, there were  little trick or treater's every where. I had forgotten all about the mall having trick or treat on Saturday night. I was going to take Alex, my 8 yr old, back home and put on his costume then come back, but it would have taken a little while. So we crossed the parking lot and went to Toys R Us. They only had a few costumes and they were all a little big. We found an Obi Wan Kenobi, and it worked! They were 50% off so I got the costume and his candy bag for under $12.00! Now that's a bargin! Next year I will also be able to sell it for more than what I paid for it, unless of course he wants to wear it next year. I'm sure it will still fit. The funny thing is that his original costume was Darth Vader. Any way, he had a lot of fun, and got some candy as well. Eventually we finally found my oldest son 4 school shirts at Khols and only paid $40.00 for them all. My middle son we dropped off at Carmike Cinema 12 because he wanted to meet his friend at the movies and see "The Three Musketeer's". So all and all it was a good night.

Corndodger's Haunted Maze

My two oldest boys and I had a good time last night at Corndodger's Corn Maze. I first found out about Corndodger's thru a friend's post on facebook. My youngest son was spending the weekend with his dad so I thought the older boys might enjoy going on the haunted trail in the corn maze. One thing I didn't really plan on was having to go through it with them. I'm a big baby when it comes to haunted houses! Despite being hesitant I went anyway. The first guy that jumped out of the corn field scared me so bad I felt my heart jump out of my chest! My oldest son thought he needed to show his braveness and stood there and stared the scarey people right in the eyes! They were a bit disappointed that they couldn't scare him. My middle son just kept laughing and telling me to let go of his jacket! At one point I just froze and buried my face in my hands. When I looked up "Jason" was still standing there right over me with that white mask of his looking down at me! I almost freaked out! I felt like a bad mama afterwards because I had ran ahead a bit and left my children standing there with the bad guys. The whole maze didn't last long but I was soooo happy when we reached the end.  In spite of me being a big scared baby, it was still a lot of fun!
