Going on a Witch Hunt

We have had some fun this Halloween season with witches. Last Saturday, some ladies in our neighborhood got together for a little "witches tea." This has become an annual thing for us and it's always fun to have some good food and and adult conversation for a couple of hours with some of the local witches.


A few days before that, we spent a couple of hours with my friend Strawberri and her kids at Gardner Village, looking for some witches. It was all worth it when we found the witches and the kids got a pumpkin cookie from the local bakery. The kids also had fun riding the pony and going to the petting zoo.




You might remember that in August, we went on a bear hunt with Aunt Char at Bear Lake. Yesterday, the bear hunt became a witch hunt. My sister Char used to dress up every Halloween as a witch and I have to tell you, she was pretty convincing. She has the cackle, warts and all. It's been a few years since we have seen the witch, so Char had a little party on Monday to bring out the wicked witch one last time and to try and scare the little ones in the family. After a fun witch hunt song and some nervous kids, the cackling witch entered and needless to say, Kennedy was petrified. She just about choked me to death trying to get away from the scary witch and was screaming like crazy. I thought she would get over it, but after about an hour of whining and crying, I realized that Kennedy was not going to join the other kids as they played games and decorated cookies with the witch. So as any great mom would do, I stuck her upstairs with a video and her blankie. It wasn't until the witch costume came off later that Kennedy decided she could enjoy the party. What can I say, my child is a wimp.
