Happy Halloween!

Our great friends the Noonans joined us this Halloween. Deya is Ellie's bosom buddy and they both went trick-or-treating as Princesses. Go figure.




Ryan and Amanda patiently allowed me to dress them up - Amanda was Padme, thank you Huntie's costume last year; and Ryan went all out with the circus hat.

Kevin and I were quite a pair in our Janice-inspired "Whoopie Cushion wear."



Happy Halloween! We had lots of fun trick-or-treating. Huntie dressed up as Kit Kittredge, the American Girl. Michael was invited to a boy Halloween party and hay ride, so we girls had a night to ourselves!



And of course, the loot:

Parents to Lunch Day

Yeah!! The day I look forward to ALL YEAR long - Parents to Lunch Day!!! Not surprisingly, the ONE day all year the school allows parents to come to lunch with their kids, they are also having a book fair to raise money.

This day, Michael's tooth was loose. He was really hoping it would spontaneously fall out of his mouth with no pulling required. I have to admit, he was getting pretty close to that happening. I've never seen such a loose tooth!

Kevin made Michael a deal that if Michael let him pull his tooth out at lunch, that he would buy him 3 books at the book fair. That deal was not even sweet enough for Michael to allow any matter matter of pulling.



But, Kevin was persuasive enough for Michael to allow me to initiate the pulling. In just one pull, the tooth was out. YIPPY!! Books all around!


This was also Michael's wonderful teacher Mrs. Ledet's birthday. I made her a special cake and cutie cupcakes to share with her class.
