Happy Halloween . . .and November!

We had a very busy, fun-filled halloween! There are so many parties, events now, you have to pick which ones to go to, there are just so many! Much more than when I was a kid. : )

Last week Frankie's class walked to the pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin, listen to stories and have a picnic snack, beautiful day. On Thursday they used the pumpkins to decorate. The parents came in to help and the kids sang songs too! So funny to watch them trying to remember all the words and do hand motions.

Friday Frankie could wear his costume to school and Lizzy had black and orange day. Friday night was Lizzy's school party, complete with haunted hallway!

Saturday we carved our pumpkin, the kids did it all by themselves and made a whole person carving! Then we went to the Let's Motor party at night; games, goodies, fun!

Sunday we got to see all the cousins in costume at Nana's. : ) Then the boo at the Franklin Park zoo, complete with trick or treating, crafts and, of course, animals. We saw the lion up close!

We rested for a bit with pizza before heading out for 2 hours of trick or treating! I stayed home and gave out candy! I get tired just reading about it all! The kids had a ball, definitely a lot to do!

Now on to a great fun filled November, I'm sure!
