Pirate Patrick and Charlotte Kitty

We put out our Halloween decor early. Nate bought some new items this year...All spooky...but Charlotte isn't afraid! Henry named this poor pirate Patrick!

This Mummy was howling at 3 am the other night! It howls when there is motion and the wind did the trick. I heard it and thought - What is that noise? I figured it out and tried to disconnect it and it still howled! Spoooooky!!! Henry named him Spooky appropriately!

Tail Gator School Fundraiser

Central Park had their annual "Tail Gator" fundraiser. The kids had a great time again this year.

Eli Strikes Again!

We had our old Fayetteville neighbors over for burgers on Saturday. It was so much fun to catch up with Brad, Keverly and Eli. The kids had a blast playing! It was like we were still neighbors!

Early Halloween Cupcakes

I made an impulse purchase at Target the other day....Halloween cupcake mix! We made these one day after school and the kids kept asking why we were making Halloween cupcakes so early! I guess just something to do after school! They had fun and made a huge mess. We passed these out to neighbor kids after we decorated them.

Aida's First Field Trip

Aida had her first field trip last Friday. Her class went to see a musical production of Beauty and the Beast. It was a good performance put on by kids aged 3 to 18! I was one of the chaperones for her class. It was fun to get to go somewhere with Aida's class and meet some of her classmates.

This little girl is in her class....Melia...She was really sweet.

Hugs!

I had to get a shot of this....since Henry and Aida rarely hug!

School Apple Project

Aida had to make an apple creature for their unit on apples at school this week. Nate thought up a butterfly (which happens to be Mrs. Machan's favorite thing). Aida painted most of it and put on the eyes and nose. Nate and I helped with the antennae and wings. It turned out sooo cute.

We have had this zucchini forever that was given to Nate by an employee...Henry made good use of it. This is supposed to be Squidword from Sponge Bob...Henry didn't have to do this for homework, but wanted to do a craft like Aida.

This picture has nothing to do with the apple project, but Henry's hair looked cute after his bath, so I took a quick shot.
