Family Season

Family Season

Our home. Our evenings. Our ghost stories.

1. Theme of the month

October

Spooky Month

How it went

What came out scarier — the show, the game or our own face paint?

— We strung the cobwebs down the whole hallway, and Dad walked into them first. — Wednesday, an episode an evening: Seva fell asleep during the second one.

2. Weeks of the month4 weeks – from the garland to a costume

Week 1

Decorating the flat: cobwebs, pumpkins, lights

Week 2

Watching Wednesday — an episode an evening

Week 3

Playing Reanimal, taking turns

Week 4

Our goal for the month

Decorate the house, invent our face paint and turn up at the school Halloween.
