Halloween!

So Halloween came and went. We had a great weekend although it would have been more fun with Mom. Peggy left for Columbia on Friday and the kids and I have been together since. We were very lucky to have Grandma Geri here on Monday and Tuesday and Grandpa Jerry here on Wednesday and my Mom on Thursday and Friday (and perhaps my Dad...not sure).

We have carved pumpkins...twice....hung out with friends and played Trains. We have been to the Hallowzooeen at the MN Zoo and had countless discussions about what words rhyme with things like bagabooi or babigabaga. Turns out lots of words start with "b" in this house right now.



I will admit they are getting pretty good at rhyming. They are actually getting a few right once and a while. It is very fun. The weather has been spooktacular so we have been spending time outside as much as we can (Sunday we spent all day inside...they had no interest in getting out. I have weird kids).

They miss their mom though. Each night Hazy tells me she wants to hug and kiss Mom. It's cute and kinda sad for the little one. But they get to skype with Peggy every day and so we get to see her and hear about how much fun she is having in Columbia with Freddie and Lisa. I think this was a kick butt trip for her.

Here are a few pictures of a Fairy and Spiderman (they stopped by the house on Holloween).


Also you can't believe how excited these two got at the Zoo. "Will we get Candy Dad?" Yes. "Why we have to say Trick or Treat Dad?" Because that is how the game is played Ollie. "Why that is how the game is played Dad?". He even asks us why he asks us questions. It's crazy!

Hazel was literally jumping up and down at each station. Sooo happy! They also got to see Arnita, Ray and Mindy (our neighbors) so that was pretty special also.

The pumpkins are getting eaten by squirrels and the kids are distraught but now we need to brace for all the fun Thanksgiving brings!

This has turned into a stream of consciousness blog. So I will end it here.

Here is the Preschool class photo.
