The weather has also been pretty decent so we are trying to get out on a family hike every Sunday morning. With Andy at class twice a week and then meeting with his group every once in a while, it's a luxury to all be together as a family. We take full advantage of our family time.
The weekend before Halloween, we did a 1-mile run (Emma ran the entire way but it was mostly a walk with Abigail). Yep, we ran/walked in our costumes.
Abigail did great!
Then it was off to the doctor's office for more family fun--flu shots!
We had some friends over for a little pumpkin carving.
It's so much fun to have Emma at our school and be able to watch her participate in our school activities, like our annual Halloween parade.
I also got to sneak away from my recess duty for a bit to watch Emma during her Halloween centers/activities.
Emma and I went to a Halloween party at one of my students' houses. They transformed their garage into a haunted house and it was amazing!
On Halloween, we ventured down to Main Street and did some trick or treating from stores to restaurants, up and down Main Street.
Then we were off to Andy's dad's for more trick or treating. (It's a good thing we had a candy buy back at our school today. Kids received $1 for every pound of candy they brought it. The candy is then sent to troops overseas.)
Hiking time! (Baby Dennis had to go with on one of our hikes, too.)
I was going through all of our winter gear, seeing what fit and what didn't. I also had to get things ready to take into Abigail's school. Needless to say, these two cuties are beyond excited for ski season.
And finally, I'll leave you with Emma's most recent drawing...looking good!
