Halloween Activities 2009

Boys will be boys!

Our friends Lori and Riley stopped by today for a little visit. The boys had been running around like little monsters from the moment they saw each other. Lori and I were just having a nice visit catching up on girl stuff. When it got unusually quiet Lori decided to go check on the boys. It is never good when two rambunctious boys stop making noise. When we got back to CJ's room this is what we found. They had found the stamp pads (child friendly, washable) and proceeded to decorate themselves. We tried not to laugh, but how do you not laugh at this?

Preschool field trip to the farm

CJ's pre-school had a field trip to Wheeler Farm this week. Gus and I got to go along as chaperones (LOL).
The kids got a guided tour from a farm employee and I really think they learned a lot. We also go to go on the hay ride and feed the geese and ducks. If you notice all the boys in the class 8 out of 10 kids are boys, that's a lot of testosterone for Ms. Jodi to deal with.

Worn out!

I love it when the boys fall asleep in the perfect pose!

True Blood Fans

I don't think it has to be said that I am a huge True Blood fan. For that matter I am a huge Charlaine Harris (the author of the Sookie Stackhouse books) fan as well. That being said some of my friends(also huge fans) and I really got into the show this year. We had True Blood themed parties to celebrate the season 2 premier and finale. We had themed food and a couple of us even got into character for the events. I am so bummed that I now have to wait until next May to read book 10 in the series, and even more bummed that I have to wait for season 3 of the show to come back on, whenever that may be.

Two of my favorite things come together!

CJ went back to Pre-school

CJ started school again this week. He was so excited to see his teacher Ms. Jodi, he really missed her over the summer. He is also excited to have some of his same friends in his class again. I am really looking forward to all he will learn this year!
