Halloween 2009











Mitchell wore his Thomas the Tank Engine costume again this year to his fall party at Kindergarten, and to his Halloween party at WeeCare. After WeeCare we had to run home to get the robot costume Mitchell and Chuck made last year which he didn't like after it was all done. We went to trick or treat downtown to the local businesses on Friday from 4-5 pm. What a great gig!

Maria dressed up in her new ballerina dress, and when we went out for the official Halloween trick or treating she put on the Elmo costume. We've had Elmo since Mitchell was 2 years old and this is the first time it has been worn! It sure kept Maria nice and warm - she was even sweating!

Chuck even dressed up for work on Friday for Halloween - most people didn't recognize him in his 70's outfit! We got a promo graduation gown at work and it fit just right to keep me warm to go along with the kiddos!

We visited the neighbors - the kids love visiting Mark&Lynn and Molly made special bags with homemade popcorn balls (no need to check for razor blades, whew!) and we stopped by Mr. Brad's house...he lets the kids take whatever they want to fill their bags! The snack pack of teddy grams was the first treat they chose to eat! Kaitlyn and Madison's Mom and Grandma helped Kaitlyn special deliver Trick or Treats. We stopped in town at a few houses and at Denee and Randy's the kids got their very own pumpkin bags filled with lots of things, including 3 juice pouches each--the second treat they broke into! Mitchell sucked down all 3 juice pouches right away (yes, he ran to the bathroom a few times that night)! We ended the evening at Grandma and Grandpa's house where the kids climbed into jammies and were ready to head home. Both fell asleep on the way home: Awesome!

Daylight saving time has made it much easier to get the kids moving in the mornings! Mitchell is very quick on the mornings he has kindergarten, but the mornings he goes to WeeCare with Maria he takes his time.


Now the kids are looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas!
