Gearing Up For Halloween....

Halloween always surprises me with how busy it is!  there are always so many parties, and things to go to that it makes for one busy week!  This year was no exception...

Miley was so excited to be able to go to her first Halloween party at her dance studio.  They only do this party for the kids on the competitive teams, so she hasn't gotten to go before.  I stayed to help, and I hardly saw her the whole night, because she was having so much fun running around with all of her little buddies!

On Monday night, we carved pumpkins.  I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the finished products, but we sure had fun with this little pumpkin (although I am not sure he was quite as thrilled!).

The kids always get into the spirit by wearing festive clothes throughout the month...

Today, Landon had his Halloween party at preschool.  They got to dress up and sing some songs for the parents.  Then, they got to have a party, and trick-or-treat around the church where they have school.  It was so much fun, and so cute!  I am so happy Landon is getting to do some of these things now, because it seems like we are always going to these types of events for Miley.  I love that he is getting his own fun, and I know he loves it too!

Whew.  Now we just have to get ready for actual Halloween tomorrow!  I feel like it has been Halloween all week!

Landon's Week With Custer!

One of the highlights of preschool for Landon so far, has been getting to bring the class "pet," Custer, home with him for a week!

Throughout the week, we had to take pictures of what we were doing with Custer.  Unfortunately, despite a break from school, we didn't have a whole lot going on.  We managed to get a few pictures though, of some of the things we do everyday anyway.

Landon LOVED having Custer!  He brought him everywhere with us and slept with him every night!  We were able to take Custer to the park and to the library.  Landon had fun eating breakfast with him and painting with him.

At the end of the week, Landon sure was sad to see Custer go, but I was somewhat glad to have the assignment over with!!  The joys of preschool...  :)
