October Fun

We’ve had lots of fun with the kids this month.  Going into and getting ready for the holiday season is always an exciting time of year.  We’ve taken the kids to mini-golf, a pajama breakfast at Sweet Tomatoes, and at Mimi’s they ate one of the messiest desserts I’ve yet seen - Oreo dirt cups with gummi worms and chocolate pudding. It was truly a spectacular mess – especially on Katie!  I told the kids no kiss for me after they ate dirt and worms until they brushed their teeth!  Yuck! LOL, they got a kick out of that.  We’ve had some friends over to play games with us and the kids, and last night the kids decorated their own pumpkins.  They had a blast!  Tonight or tomorrow I’ll carve the big pumpkin – I’m aiming for a spooky house, it’s a challenging pattern, will be interesting to see if I can pull it off.  Katie’s “Super Kaitlyn” costume is almost complete, just have to add the “Super Kaitlyn” emblem to the front of it.  I’m sure no one but us will understand the costume, but that’s OK.  Katie gets it; for months now, she’s been telling me that when she grows up, she’s going to be “Super Kaitlyn” and she’s going to fly to school instead of drive.  ROFL, so I decided she could be “Super Kaitlyn” now for Halloween.  Her cape has been done for a few days now, and it’s a riot to see her running around the house with it on, acting as if she can fly.  Jake says he wants to be a ninja with a sword, like the ninjas in the video game.  He will be with his mom for Halloween, but we still need to get him a costume for the school party on Friday.  That might be a bit tricky – Jake’s class is allowed to wear their costumes on Friday, but Katie’s isn’t.  Might have to bring his and put it on him at the school, so Katie doesn’t cry when she isn’t allowed to wear hers to school :(  New Pics Online, more to be added after Halloween.
