“Did you go to the house with the big candy bars?”
“Oh yeah, we went there!”
It was the talk of the town last night… and everyone was out! I didn’t believe it. I assumed by “big bar” they meant a full sized candy bar… but clearly I was wrong. There was a house handing out these monster candy bars on a silver tray no less… this delighted ALL of the kids!

Happy Halloween!! My oldest drew this Hello Kitty Halloween image for me… oh about a month ago. When they started getting revved up for Halloween. Finally it has arrived… the anticipation is a little out of control at my house! Holy smokes! Not to mention Dude is traveling leaving me all alone to absorb the excitement.

But they are pretty darn cute aren’t they?! Just one more night… oh then of course days of eating too much candy… but maybe we’ve already been doing that… Darn you Costco and your big bag of candy!

This craft was supposed to be for Tuesday when there is no school… but of course she couldn’t wait… nor could they wait to eat it all! Oh well… what’s a little extra candy at Halloween right?!

On Halloween they sorted their candy so that they could have the “count” for school… and then they weighed it. Hmmm… My oldest does say that sometimes her friends tell her that she over-thinks things. Although that might be true, I’m of course personally a fan over over-thinking since I’m sure my friends might also agree that I do the same. But maybe I’m just giving this all too much thought. Ha!

Just a few last minute costume fixes this morning and some batty origami to decorate the locker. (I know… how early are we all getting up?! You probably don’t want to know! ) Everyone got off to school in a festive spirit! Yeah! Now if we can just all hold it together until Sunday. My youngest gets soooo excited about these holidays that she exhausts us all!

What a good Dad… he dressed up just to take #2 to school.

Yesterday the kids got to dress up for Halloween parties at school. Dude was a great Dad and drove them to school in his costume! What a guy… Then last night we had a spooky Halloween party for the girls and today I feel like Halloween should be done, but of course it isn’t. There is still trick-or-treating on Saturday. Oh joy, lots of tempting candy to thwart my exercise efforts… sigh… Oh well, time to boost up my self-control I guess!

The farm was great. It was my first, and probably last, year doing the corn maze. We have decided the kids can manage it just fine alone and next year we are going to sit out in front with coffee in hand while the kids do all the running!

Today the kids got to dress up for school… big fun!

Halloween is approaching quickly and we are ready with our jack-o-lanterns!

Oh and I’ve been busy taking pics and updating my photoblog…

It has been a busy day and we don’t even have our treats yet!
