Halloween Weekend!

I didn't really get into Halloween that much, but after coming to WCC and seeing so many people getting into it, I couldn't help but get into it myself.  My girlfriends suggested that I should be a flapper to match my new haircut.  I originally wanted to get a dress that was similar to the flapper style so I could wear it again, but my mom found this great flapper costume that I just had to buy.  I also bought some long gloves and a red boa.  I loved wearing that costume and I'm sure everyone loved me too for getting feathers all over the hallway.  I didn't realize that my boa liked to shed...
After going to a potluck party that Friday night, I went with a couple of friends on Saturday afternoon to get some pizza and then we headed off to a corn maze about a 20 minute drive away.  There were 12 stations in the maze that we had to find and if we found all 12 of them, we would get free gourds....I'm sure you guys are in so much awe right now.  Anyway, when we first went into the maze we didn't bother to look at the map in the front (they don't give you maps but they have maps for you to look at at the entrances and at the stations just to show where you currently are) and we circled around for a 1/2 hour before finding ourselves back to the entrance.  Whoops, lol.  But after we decided to look at the maps, we marched through that muddy trail, through that windy maze, used objects besides the stations as points to show us where we are, such as the WaWa that was across the street, and found those 12 stations.  Yes, we won those gourds and only had some minor panic attacks along the way, such as when I dropped my card used to mark what stations we went to and couldn't find it for 5 seconds...that was terrible.
As soon as we got back to school, I packed up and went home for a day.  It was really nice to watch "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" with the family, though my mood was ruined when the Phillies lost (and my mood got even worse when they lost the whole thing).  Oh well, I still love them.
Now I'm counting down the days to Thanksgiving break!  For me, tomorrow afternoon will be 2 weeks and while it seems really close it's not coming fast enough...

We got all 12 of them (never mind 13-18...they weren't there)

                                                   

 Momma's going to be so proud of me!!!
