    Does anything scare you about Halloween and if so what (i.e. ghosts, chainsaw guy chasing you, etc)? Haunted Houses

    What is your favorite pumpkin patch? Don't have one yet. We're going to try The Pumpkin Barn in CB though - I hope we like it!

    Do you get pumpkins and decorate with paint or carve? We didn't last year, but we usually carve them.

    What are you or your kids going as this year for Halloween?  Mason is going to be Sweet pea, I'm going to be Olive Oyl, and DH will be Popeye

    What is your favorite Halloween candy?  Candy Corn, or any sour candy

    Do you like haunted houses and if so which one is your favorite?  I have never been to a haunted house and will never go to one.

    Does anything scare you about Halloween and if so what (i.e. ghosts, chainsaw guy chasing you, etc)?  All of that, I'm such a baby about those things.

    What is your favorite pumpkin patch?  Vala's

    Do you get pumpkins and decorate with paint or carve?  Yes we usually get a few.  I'd like to get a really big one and put mason in it this year.

    What are you or your kids going as this year for Halloween? We're thinking of having Jack go as either a "Jack"-o-lantern, or sit him in a box and call him a "Jack"-in-a-box.   Yeah we're lame. Smile

    What is your favorite Halloween candy?  Candy corn and peanuts mixed together.  Throw some m&ms in there and I'm a happy girl.

    Do you like haunted houses and if so which one is your favorite?  Not really

    Does anything scare you about Halloween and if so what (i.e. ghosts, chainsaw guy chasing you, etc)?  Eh - not really.

    What is your favorite pumpkin patch?  Haven't ever been to one, but pretty excited to take DS to his first one this year!

    Do you get pumpkins and decorate with paint or carve?  I haven't in the past, but I think we will this year.  DH said the other night he wants to get one and carve Jack's name in it.  We'll see how that goes...

    What are you or your kids going as this year for Halloween?

    A- is going as a butterfly unless she changes her mind. R- is going to be a monkey.

    What is your favorite Halloween candy?

    I am not much of a chocolate person, and I hate candy corn with a passion, so pretty much anything else goes. I do love anything that is chocolate & peanut butter or mint chocolate.

    Do you like haunted houses and if so which one is your favorite?

    I love haunted houses, but I haven't been to one is so long, so I have no idea what is even around anymore.

    Does anything scare you about Halloween and if so what (i.e. ghosts, chainsaw guy chasing you, etc)?

    Nope. 

    What is your favorite pumpkin patch?

    I have only been to Poppy's and Pooley's. I can't wait to go to Vala's but I haven't been able to justify the cost with how young our kiddos are.

    Do you get pumpkins and decorate with paint or carve?

    Both. DH & I usually carve our own, and then last year we painted them with our friends and Holly's family. We hope to do the same this year.

  • What are you or your kids going as this year for Halloween?

    My yorki-poo was a cop last year, not sure what she'll be wearing this year:)

    What is your favorite Halloween candy?

    candy corn (with cashews mixed in) or Reese's pumpkins because they have soooo much PB in them

    Do you like haunted houses and if so which one is your favorite?

    Shadows Edge, I could take or leave them but DH and SS always want to go

    Does anything scare you about Halloween and if so what (i.e. ghosts, chainsaw guy chasing you, etc)?

    I have always feared the inevitable "guy with the chainsaw" that chases you around the haunted houses.  Also, I have this irrational fear that a real crazy serial killer will come out on Halloween and be undetected..stupid I know...

    What is your favorite pumpkin patch?

    Roca Berry Farm

    Do you get pumpkins and decorate with paint or carve?

    No..maybe some year..

    What are you or your kids going as this year for Halloween?

    older son = C3PO, baby son = R2D2. DH = Miami football player, me = orange jumpsuit (the guy who turned in their program). That is our best idea yet, anyway. 

    What is your favorite Halloween candy?

    Little orange candy pumpkins

    Do you like haunted houses and if so which one is your favorite?

    Hell to the no.

    Does anything scare you about Halloween and if so what (i.e. ghosts, chainsaw guy chasing you, etc)?

    Nothing other than haunted houses!

    What is your favorite pumpkin patch?

    I have only ever been to Vala's and honestly it is too much of a scene for me. We are going to Pooley's (sp?) tomorrow with my sister-in-law's family & I am looking forward to it, she tells me it's much smaller.

    Do you get pumpkins and decorate with paint or carve?

    Yes, both.

    What are you or your kids going as this year for Halloween?

    C is going to be a lion, DH & I don't usually dress up.

    What is your favorite Halloween candy?

    Reese's PB cups

    Do you like haunted houses and if so which one is your favorite?

    I don't mind them...we went to one in Sarpy County last year (I think) that was prety good...My fave is in Denver.

    Does anything scare you about Halloween and if so what (i.e. ghosts, chainsaw guy chasing you, etc)?

    Not really scared of much :)

    What is your favorite pumpkin patch?

    I haven't been to one here. Maybe next year.

    Do you get pumpkins and decorate with paint or carve?

    YES! We grew our own last year.

    This has been on my pinterest for weeks now. Totally doing it!!

  • What are you or your kids going as this year for Halloween?  DD is going to be a bumblebee since she is infatuated with those that fly around our flowers.  DH is on the fence, but it's looking like Carl from Caddyshack.  I'm struggling with any good ideas for myself, so I'm probably bring back Marilyn Monroe from a couple years ago.

    What is your favorite Halloween candy?  Reece's (any variety)

    Do you like haunted houses and if so which one is your favorite?  No, I'm too old for that kind of stress!  I won't even watch scary movies any more, which I loved when I was younger!

    Does anything scare you about Halloween and if so what (i.e. ghosts, chainsaw guy chasing you, etc)?  I am irrationally nervous/scared of being scared so it all freaks me out a little bit! 

    What is your favorite pumpkin patch?  Roca Berry Farm is perfect for us...close, small enough for our DD, and affordable (even more so with today's LJS coupon).  I think Vala's would be a little overwhelming for all of us for the next few years until she is older!

    Do you get pumpkins and decorate with paint or carve?  We typically carve at least one, but I'd like to decorate a few more this year with paint, etc.

    What are you or your kids going as this year for Halloween? She said she wants to be an angel of death, but we haven't really looked at the costumes yet.

    What is your favorite Halloween candy? I don't have one

    Do you like haunted houses and if so which one is your favorite? Love haunted houses. My faves are the ones in KC.

    Does anything scare you about Halloween and if so what (i.e. ghosts, chainsaw guy chasing you, etc)? No. I have a funny about that. One year I was at haunted hallow and went to use the port-a-potty. As I was going, someone started beating against the door of it. I finish up, come out, and there was Michael Myers banging on my door. I just looked at him and said "it might be a little stinky in there, but it's yours!"

    What is your favorite pumpkin patch? vala's. But we don't usually go to any others.

    Do you get pumpkins and decorate with paint or carve? Neither. We live in an apartment, so it's hard to display them. Plus, I don't like pumpkin guts on my hands. I do try to get someone to roast the seeds for me though.

  • What are you or your kids going as this year for Halloween? K is going to be a cowgirl and L is going to be tinkerbell.  We have a party every year for adults and we have a few good ideas but I can't say-I don't want SB&J to know! Smile

    What is your favorite Halloween candy?  I'm not a huge candy girl,but anything with caramel.

    Do you like haunted houses and if so which one is your favorite?  Don't like them, I am a chicken.  I even get scare listening to the Scary Acres commercials on the radio.

    Does anything scare you about Halloween and if so what (i.e. ghosts, chainsaw guy chasing you, etc)?  See above!

    What is your favorite pumpkin patch?  I love Valas.

    Do you get pumpkins and decorate with paint or carve? We carve a few and let the girls paint one!

  • What are you or your kids going as this year for Halloween?   I am hoping to get out of any dressing up activities.  The little one wants to be Robin, so the big one has agreed to be Batman (someone please try to figure these kids out).

    What is your favorite Halloween candy?  Candy corn!

    Do you like haunted houses and if so which one is your favorite?   Loved them, when I was younger.  I grew up in KC and we?d go every weekend.  The Edge of Hell was my favorite.  Ever since becoming a mom I have lost my taste for all things scary.  I can?t even watch a scary movie anymore.  I suck.  

    Does anything scare you about Halloween and if so what (i.e. ghosts, chainsaw guy chasing you, etc)?   I really love it, mostly for the kids.  Anything that pops out at me scares me.

    What is your favorite pumpkin patch?  So far, Pooley?s.  I?ve been to Skinny Bones and Pooley?s kicks it?s ass.  

    Do you get pumpkins and decorate with paint or carve?  Carve!  I love roasted pumpkin seeds and you can only get them good when you dig them out yourself.  So I carve a lot of pumpkins.  And if I hear about anyone throwing their seeds out?.don?t ? I?ll come get them.
