Happy Halloween!!!

We had a great last week, full of all kinds of fall activities. Wednesday I went with Landon's class on a field trip to a pumpkin patch. It was so much fun being with his class and being with him. He loved having me there and was very cuddly with me the entire time. I loved it!! Unfortunately I forgot my camera, but I made up for those pictures on the next couple of days. This is a rather long post.

Thursday were the preschool Fall parties and costume parade. The kids were sooo excited to wear their costumes to school and they looked so cute!! I was able to be at school that day too and took lots of pictures. The parade was so sweet and then I helped out with Landon's class party. He had a big time!! Addi's class had a small party but did not get too off schedule. The two year olds, including Addi, get a little unerved when there are too many things out of routine. It really threw her off with me being in and out of her room on Thursday, and then she got upset when I had to go to Landon's class. It is the first time I have had to leave her crying, but she was fine after I left. Now I understand why Addi's teachers think it is best not to have all the parents in the room for their parties. It makes them too upset.

On Friday we went trick or treating and the kids did great!! Landon was all business and Addi was a little distracted by all the other cosutmes! Right after trick or treating we went to the football game where the entire band had dressed up for Halloween. John and Andi had a great time and there were some very "interesting" costumes! It was a late night, the little kids did not get to bed until 10:30 pm, but it was a lot of fun!!

Now, onto Thanksgiving.......

Addi all smiles the morning of the preschool costume parade. Our little Cinderella!! It is so funny how she says it, if I could spell it I think it would be "Tee-ah-re-yah"!
