Vossenjacht

Tuesday, October 24, 2006
The Parents Committee has organized a Vossenjacht (fox hunt) for the kids at my son's school. In this instance, because it's Halloween, it's like Treasure Hunt meets Haunted House. If I'm not mistaken, the kids and parents stop by designated houses (or posts) where they need to look for a fox (in this case, a scary monster or ghoul) waiting for them about the permises. It starts at 7pm and lasts for about an hour. This year, our house has the honour of hosting a mummy and his coffin. Ooooeeer! I have to remember to set out a thermos flask of coffee for him - in this weather, even mummies need a hot beverage.
Hopefully the weather holds up as rain has been predicted all of this week. I've also informed my husband so that he doesn't get startled by a mummy in the driveway when he arrives home tonight.
Edited to add: This has been pushed to Friday because it was raining all evening. The coffin is in our garage now. I've turned it the other way so I don't creep myself out.
The Dutchess of Cookalot whipped this up at 4:44 am
