Happy Halloween

Well it has been 5 days since Halloween and I am just getting to the post

We had school parties as well as trick or treating.

I guess when a child is in 2nd grade it isn't "cool" for you mom to come to the party or parents just stop coming at this age. I went up to the school for the party and I was the lone ranger. I still stayed and hung out for a few hours. It was so much fun to see all the children dressed up. I do think "N" was happy that I was there with him. My Grandma J also stayed at the house with "Z" and they both were thrilled that she could stay and babysit. We had to take her to her Doctor appt. earlier that day so she just hung out with us for most of the day.

The weather was beautiful and we saw quite a few of N's friends around the neighborhood. Jon and I even got a 'special' treat bag just for adults :)

Z loves the candy!!! I had to hide it from our usual snack place since he will sneak it. He doesn't clean himself up very well though--the chocolate around his mouth is a dead giveaway!

Oh- remind me next year when I talk about carving pumpkins: DO NOT LET THE BOYS PICK A HARD PATTERN!! We go through this each year--they pick out something hard and then ditch the parents and we end up finishing the project!!!!
