Because we're bad parents... duh!


OK, so the Monkey Boy has really been on us this year to take him to a HAUNTED HOUSE. Boogey-Boogey. We basically create our own haunted graveyard every year in our front yard, so he's used to it. He understands it's all costumes and props.. and was anxious to see how it all works. So we took him Sunday evening to 'The Beast'. He was given a secret code word by the lady at the gate, "BOO!!".. which is a code to the THESPIANS to back off :) But he never used it. After a few spooky parts we stopped and asked, "Are you OK? Do you want to take an exit out?"... "No, this isn't scary at all." BWAAHAHA. Yeah, right. He was clinging to NrNV for life. But, he was having a lot of fun. Mainly, it was very dark and it can be scary to think you might be separated. But I screamed!! A lot!! And MrNV's father came too, and he was having fun figuring out how everything worked. It's funny, when I used to go while MrNV and I were dating, I would almost pass out. Things just don't scare you as much as you get older :)

So, we're bad parents. I can live with that :) He's been excited about Halloween ever since, and has been building haunted houses with his lego's. He drew out a plan for us yesterday of his ideas for our haunted graveyard. And the wolf in the photo, he loves it. We would drive by occasionally when they first opened, and the wolf walks around outside the building scaring people. He actually opened the side door to scare Monkey once, and that was hilarious. But he giggled and tried to give him a high-five :)
