Halloween

We celebrated Halloween by sending both kiddos to school in their costumes.  Alex had a parade and we got to see his classmates costumes.  Afterwards AJ and I were the room parents for the Halloween party and helped the kids with a craft.  I did a shape bat and AJ did a cotton ball ghost.  I had fun prepping both these for the class.  After a quick lunch at the local taco bell/KCF with a sighting of The Colonel who ended up ordering Taco Bell, I went to Brooke’s class to volunteer.  After school AJ and I got into costume.  Before heading out for the night, I decided to show my costume to the neighborhood kids in a unique way.  We went to a neighborhood party for dinner before trick-or-treating.  The kids were really into it this year, running from house to house.  We even used the storage in the walker to dump their pumpkins once and they filled them up again.  Everyone had a great time!

Today we went pumpkin picking with the kiddos at Greenbrier Farms.  They had a fun area for the kids to play in and a farm animal petting area. This week I had the kids make Halloween cutouts for the front door and we make ghost crafts for our trees.  We are officially decorated for fall!

We had a family day today which started with attempting to look at the Cape Henry Lighthouse which didn’t quite work out, but after that we hiked a bit in First Landing State Park before having lunch at Chick’s on the water and then went to the NAS Oceana Air Show.  The highlight of the show was being able to walk onto a plane’s wing and the Blue Angels show.

Today we went as a family to the Virginia Stage Company kids production of The Honey Bee.  The kids really enjoyed the superhero play geared towards them and Brooke got an autograph at the end.
