1 little, 2 little, 3 little witches....

Every month in my preschool, we have a field trip. Last month, along with learning how to keep our body healthy, we visited a beautiful local orchard and garden and then had a tour of my favorite grocery store, Harmons! This month, to help us get in the Halloween spirit, we went to see the witches at Gardner Village. It was a cold day, but so much fun! We stopped to take a break, and I read everyone a few favorite Halloween stories.
Taylor, Juliet, Quinton, Everett, Miss Catherine, and Jonny as a lion, just like he was last year.
My sister actually lent me an adorable frog costume and a monster costume, but Jonny refused to wear any costume. He wanted to just stay in his pajamas that morning, carry around his blankey, and pout, so I thought, "Perfect, he can be a baby." ;) So I gave him his teddybear and a binky so he really would fit the part. An hour later when he saw how much fun the kids were having dancing around in their costumes during Music Time, he wanted to wear his lion costume from last year, so he could scare everyone.

Of course, once Emily saw some of the other costumes, she wanted to be a Super Hero Girl rather than a ladybug. ;)

"1 little, 2 little, 3 little witches, fly over haystacks, fly over ditches..."
The night before Halloween, we went to the Neighborhood Trunk or Treat. My little sister, Ruthanne, is so cute and doesn't feel that holidays are the same without having kids around, so she called me up and joined us just like last year. I was grateful to have her and Austin's help with the kids!

Jonny and Emily were all set to help daddy scoop out the goop...
...but it didn't last long. All of a sudden, they got this great idea that it would be fun to clean the floors instead. Random, I know, but I'm not complaining because I could use the help!
Cath getting really intense about this pumpkin carving business! haha


Happy Halloween
