We survived

We survived Halloween 2008!!! Mother Nature and her sister Ladybug had a great night of trick or treating, bringing home enough candy to feed the world. It all passed in a blur for me but I did make Ella's Halloween party and got to go to her Spanish class as they played Halloween games. I must say I am relieved to have it all done. Now to finish the house, we are painting, and get it cleaned up in time for the soon to be 5 yr. old Birthday Party next Friday. There is a lot of coffee in my future!

The Season

We are late...but that seems to be the story of my life at the moment. But tonight after dinner, I sat the girls and himself down with pumpkins and put them to work. Ella didn't even balk at scooping out the insides. I think I am a little concerned she was pretending to be eating out of her baby's head but she did it. She didn't want to carve the pumpkin but drew flowers on one side then wanted me to carve the smiley face on the other. She spent most of the time stirring the inards pretending she had made soup. Bronwyn amazed me this year. She cleaned it all out herself, had planned her own design, and even carved it herself!! It turned out really nice! She carved Trick or Treat on it! John of course is an artist in everything he does and it turned out really great! I just supervised and did the clean up and got all the stuff made for their parties tomorrow. Tomorrow will be too busy for words but it is just one day in the scheme of things.
