Lots of fun dress up opportunities for us this month! Connor's class had a fall party a few weeks ago as his teacher was in California last week. I got to go in and help out at the party, it was a lot of fun and the kids were so cute and excited!
Then on Thursday we had the annual fall party at Simon's work. There were changes this year, which in general made it not as fun. BUT. There was the addition of a costume contest. Which our Prairie Girl Caelin won!! So we are looking forward to what the family can use that gift card for ;)We made some crafts and got some snacks. |
Simon no longer has a regular office since he works from home so often, but we got to visit the work area he uses when he goes in, and of course write on the dry erase board. |
I think his co workers can always tell when we've been there... |
On Friday afternoon, about an hour before trick or treating, we finally carved pumpkins. Well two of the kids did. I dropped Claire's pumpkin which splattered all over the hall, so I decided to just let her continue napping and miss out on the pumpkin carving fun.
Saturday night we had trunk or treating and a fall festival at church. It wasn't raining or snowing. But it was COLD. I had signed up to serve food for an hour, but that turned into serving food the rest of the night. Outside. I thought my hands were frost bitten. This also left Simon on his own for Trunk or Treating, but he survived. The kids had a great time though and ended up with tons of candy.
