Halloween

We had an amazing time this Halloween!  We started the day off with Brooke having her Halloween parade at school and a party at school.  Alex’s teachers are the sweetest and even though he doesn’t go to school on Monday’s they told me to bring him to his class Halloween party today.  Both kids had a great time at their school parties!  This evening we went trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood.  We had a lot of fun going to a bunch of houses and both kids had full buckets in less than an hour.  It was also fun to watch our neighbors reactions to our costumes.  Everyone loved the family costume including one dad told AJ ‘you win the night’ for his Big Bird costume.  We were also very popular among tween girls getting a chorus of ‘oh soooo cute!’  Brooke and Alex got to enjoy a lot of their candy and shared openly with us, which was so sweet, we even had to start refusing as we were getting full.  Afterwards we went back outside to our neighborhood’s other cul-de-sac for a bonfire and more playing and fun with friends.

Bergey’s Corn Maze

A fall tradition of ours is to enjoy a run through the corn maze at Bergey’s Farm.  They have other fun fall activities that we love too like a hayride, soybean maze, hay bale maze, kiddie tractors, all their farm animals, and of course LUNCH!

MOMS Club Halloween Party

Today the MOMS Club had a Halloween party and the kids had fun showing off their costumes and enjoying some crafts and snacks.

Carving Pumpkins

It is almost halloween and so we decided to carve our pumpkins.  I carved mine and the kids pumpkins and AJ made a cute train design for his pumpkin for Alex.  Brooke drew the face she wanted for her pumpkin on a piece of paper (scary face with teeth) and I carved it for her and we asked Alex what he wanted and he said ‘happy face’.  They turned out pretty cute!

Monday’s With Mommy

Monday is Alex’s day with Mommy.  Brooke gets an hour every day while Alex sleeps to have Mommy’s undivided attention and Alex gets Monday morning while Brooke is at school.  Today we had a lot of fun playing at the park and at home.  I like the games Alex comes up with: Mr. Fixit, Dinosaur Basketball, and Dinosaur Doctor.
