Halloween Fun and Muddy Mess !!!!

     Last night the kids and I did a few Halloween crafts to decorate the RV main room. We made Halloween cupcakes together and they loved decorating one of them by themselves. Before bedtime, I read them a chapter in the 3rd book of the Rats of Nimh series that we have been reading together for several months. I felt bad because I couldn't afford to take them to Six Flags on the Homeschool day when it is cheaper to go for Homeschooled kids. Even with the cheaper tickets, the cost would still be $125 with parking. It's just not in our budget.
     Yesterday, the kids also played in the sand and mixed it with water and made lots and lots of mud! They made mud pies and mud cookies. There was mud on the table cloth and mud all over the outdoor carpets. It was a real mess, but I was just glad that they were being kids and having a good time. I went outside after they were finished and hosed them down and put them in the shower. Then I went outside and hosed their sandals off, hosed the table and the carpets, along with all their sand toys.
     The weather was awesome today with a high of 76 degrees, along with a light breeze. Right now at 8pm it is wonderful outside. We are sharing a bottle of Refresh Turning Leaf Red Moscato 2011 California right now. It is our favorite wine, plus it's a red wine so it's the best for us. My hubby was supposed to go to work tonight, but was cancelled, so we are spending some time together.
