Character Pumpkins
Today was a special day for Brian, since he had a teacher workday, and Kendall didn’t! I’d planned on having a fun day together, just the two of us, but it was impacted by a trip to the doctor and radiologist this morning to see about Brian’s hurt arm, and a parent-teacher conference this afternoon. (Results: Brian’s arm, inconclusive; teacher conference, Brian is doing great in school!) Big thanks to Rosemary for watching Brian so both of us could attend the...

It’s another Trunk-or-Treat event at Goddard school! I’m really glad it’s not on Halloween itself this year–makes for less stress for everyone. 🙂 Brian was very excited to test out his Jango Fett costume, and Kendall was adorable in her sparkly witch outfit! She was power-walking all around the parking lot, pausing only to collect candy and to check out the Hello Kitty inflatable that someone had brought! Brian found Ty almost immediately and took off–they...

I can’t bring myself to take down the Baby Perkins button that Rosemary had put on a baby...

We sure do love Halloween around here! We’re going all out with decorations, and Brian and I have gone a little crazy making pumpkin decorations for the past couple days! I know that as crafts go, the foam sticker thing probably has very little artistic merit (sorry Mom!) But it’s a lot of fun, with a low time investment, little mess, and high reward! Here’s Brian showing off our windows, covered in pumpkins. He made one with a spider family, labeling the Mommy, Daddy,...

It’s October, and that means it’s time to celebrate Halloween! We really get into it, since it’s such a fun holiday. For, um, the kids. 😉 Certainly we, as upstanding adult citizens are much too proper for–oh, who am I kidding, IT’S PUMPKIN AND COSTUMES AND CANDY TIME!! What’s not to love? 😀 Well, I’d been waiting all year for Kendall to wear her Hello Kitty Halloween shirt again, and today’s the day! She was so excited. She just loves...
