Pre-Halloween Festivities

Halloween is this weekend so the boys have been having all sorts of fun at school.

Brody loved looking at the pumpkins from the 4K's contest.  He wanted a picture with the minion.  He thought it was a clear winner. 

Wednesdays in October were ride/walk to school days.  Since Mason walks everyday, he wanted to ride his bike.  

And boy was he proud. 

We have taken Mason to every football game this year and Brody to one.  The last remaining games are just too big for the boys.  Too many people in the Grove and no tickets.  John and I got away last Saturday while the boys stayed back at my parents' house.

Honestly, I think Mason is over the games at this point.  He was very excited to stay back and play.  And who wouldn't be?!?!  Mom sent me these pictures while we were away...

"tenting"

decorating and eating Halloween cookies. 

We did have a fun day. 

And a plus, we won!

Brody rekindled his love with spaghetti.

It is October and the Christmas ads have made their way into my house.

We carved pumpkins this week.
(it was inside out/backwards shirt day at Mason's school)

Someone's gotta do the dirty work around here.

Brody was up next!

Then we all headed in for chili.

Mason picked out the carving kit.  It would've turned out better if we had painted it instead  of carving it. It kinda looks like a creepy kid....

Silly faces.

Silly hat day for Red Ribbon Week.

We have been decorating for our Halloween party this weekend.  

Brody had a parade and fall party at school today.
We put on half of our costume, and he called himself Robin all day.

I asked him to let me see his cape but turn his head around and smile.  This is what I got...

Best Buds.

Parade time.

All the kiddos walked around the gym, one class at a time, and got candy from the other classrooms.

Way too big.

Party time in the classroom.

I think he enjoyed all the attention.

It is going to rain here tomorrow, but we have two very happy boys excited about Halloween.
