Happy Halloween!


 Thankfully, we returned to our normal routine today after 3 days of Hurricane cabin fever.  The kids were raring to go back to the Y this morning and it was Halloween!


 Ky spent some time in the nursery before needing a bathroom break and then, instead of going back to the nursery, she joined 3 different preschool classes in P.E. class in the gym.  


After that, Mom and Kylie headed into Will's class to have lunch with the Terrific Tigers and participate in Halloween fun!



The class did 3 crafts, had lunch and snacks, and then performed several songs and chants about Halloween.


Back at home, we had rest time and then made hot dog spiders and hot dog mummies for dinner.  We also had eyeball grapes and blueberries.  It was hard to get the kids focused on eating dinner before the big night out!




On our way out, the van battery give it's last breath, complicating things a bit before trick-or-treating time.  Daddy rushed off to fix the problem, making it back in time for trick-or-treating just as we were ready to head out.






The kids got quite a haul and were VERY tired tonight before bed.  



Happy Halloween!

The Carving




Luckily, the timing of this hurricane provided us with one easy indoor activity to do this morning: Pumpkin Carving!  Will was like Mr. Expert Pumpkin carver, telling Kylie what to expect and what to do.


he even checked on her progress as she went...







and was so proud when his spider pumpkin was done!  


and then Daddy stepped in and brought out the power tools...


which quickly led to an outdoor project, with safety glasses.


Pumpkin was flying!  Stand back!





all done!




looking good at night!

Mr. Guinea Pig


Mommy had her first official photo shoot "job" today after Ky's last soccer practice (she requested no camera) and Will's friend's birthday party, so Will came along to scout out the location before our friends showed up.  



He was a very willing subject so Mom could check the light and the shots in different locations at a Battlefield we've never visited before.






Hopefully, the family that Mom took pictures of enjoys their photos as much as we enjoyed taking them.
