Happy Halloween

Pumpkins and costumes and candy OH MY!  We had such a fun Halloween this year!  Aidan was a Pirate, Cami was a Ballerina and Aislyn (see below) was a Cheerleader.  We started the week by decorating our porch with painted pumpkins.  Cami and Aidan got out the paint and got a little messy making their SCARY creations.  Cami even took hers to school to mark the end of their Pumpkin Week...they have been exploring pumpkins and parts of the pumpkin for their Kindergarten science unit.  

Thursday we went to a Halloween party and celebrated with friends.  The kids all wore their costumes, had pizza and treats and played until they were exhausted.  The parents all got some time to hang out and visit- a GREAT time had by all!  Thanks Marlene and Rebecca!

Friday we met up with our dear friends so that Cami and Aidan could Trick or treat with Cooper and Bailey.  We had so much fun watching the Trick or Treaters go by, handing out candy, chatting and laughing.  When the kids were finished gathering a healthy stash of treats, they picked through and ate some favorites and played for a while until it was time to go.  They were completely exhausted from all the fun and totally crashed after enjoying a brief sugar high.

Highlights of Halloween this year included having Aislyn here for her first of many spooky nights out, seeing Cami and Aidan enjoy time with friends, and of course Ian and I enjoying our big family of five and happy times shared with friends of our own.
