afternoon sillies




music time in our playroom
Sophie and Madeline are in the same preschool class and so their mom, Rebecca, and I watch eachother's son when we are co-opping in the girls' classroom once a week.
The boys get lots of time together and then after school we inevitably end up having an impromptu playdate and lunch.
Today there was more play than lunch, as usual ;)

homemade cider

We had a blast making cider at a local cider press with our friends, Julie, Jeremy and Ally.
What a nice way to jump into the holiday spirit.
25lbs of apples- almost 2 gallons of homemade cider and the kids did most of the work!




Ally hard at work


peanut gallery


the machine behind it all!

quick halloween pics

had to post a few quick pics so you could see their costumes...



Great day at Madeline's school for a costume parade and even the little ones got involved!

then...

The Wongs came over this year for our second annual movie night on halloween. We had dinner together (jack o lantern pot pies), and don set up a movie in our carport for trick or treaters.
The kids loved it and I wasnt sure they even wanted to leave to go trick or treating!






and don and i got our friends in on a little theme costume party too.
check it out:




and of course, the obligatory pumpkin carving- with a twist this year.
We carved a sweet pumpkin. roasted the seeds, ate the pumpkin and took one of the other ones and gave it the ol' mr potato head treatment.
