S. vs. the Fireplace

Tuesday, October 28th-- S. had a run in with the fireplace....and the fireplace won.

Don't Mess with the Baby!

Don't Mess with S.!!! Last Halloween, the kids each got to choose three things from the Halloween store as decorations for the house. J. chose, of all things, a severed arm. S. has taken a liking to it and it is very funny to see him munching on a severed arm. Tee hee!!

Carving Pumpkins

Monday, October 27th--The kids got to carve their pumpkins this evening. This is one of their favorite holiday activities. They make great 'Bleck' faces for the camera when they are cleaning out their pumpkins each year! This year, J. had a very odd pumpkin. It was nearly impossible to cut! The shell was rock hard and K. had to get a hacksaw to cut it. M. was able to use the small carving saw to cut out is jack-o-lantern face but J. just had to draw her's on with marker and K. had to cut it out. Yikes! But, as usual, the kids had a great time and turned out some fabulous faces.

A Day at the Park

Saturday, October 25th--We were supposed to meet a friend of M.'s at the park today. One of the boys in M.'s kindergarten class from last year is homeschooling this year. His mother said that he is missing all of his friends and so arranged a playdate at the park. Unfortunately, I had the wrong park!! We missed playing with M.'s friend but had a good time anyway. S. enjoyed climbing the stairs on the equipment along with attempting to climb the slide. We had the opportunity to get some great pictures too. The weather was very nice and finally not too hot!
