Haunted House

This Halloween, we turned our playhouse (shed) into a haunted house. My nephew Liam had created a haunted house for several years, but he's a bit too old for that now, so he generously lent us all of his props.

It was pretty scary, especially after dark. We covered the walls with black plastic and hung spider webs, skeletons and other props. We had about five or six things that went off with scary screams or the like.

The reaction from the pre-school crowd was mixed. Some kids wouldn't go near it, whereas other kids weren't scared at all. Nearly all of them were fascinated though. Lee's friend Ben thought it was all pretty funny.

We'll definitely do it again next year.
