Catalogs! Catalogs! Everywhere!

Since I got 7 catalogs in the mail today, I thought maybe I should post this again. Catalog Choice has really cut down the amount of catalogs that we get, but, 'tis the season!

Catalog Choice is an easy, free service that allows you to manage unwanted catalogs, reducing the number of catalogs in your mailbox and the number of trees that get sent to the paper mill.

Election Day

I am full of blogs today! I hope that everyone went out and voted, no matter who you support. It's definitely an historical election this year, no matter who wins.

Tea's class held an election yesterday (school is closed today because of the election) and Teddy Chocolate won over Graham Honey.

It was a taste test! It was super cute, the teacher had a sign on the door "Kindergarten Polling Place" with red, white and blue streamers, there were "campaign" signs inside for each of the Teddy Grahams, streamers inside, it was awesome!

After they voted, they talked about the national elections, etc. It's never too soon!

Pumpkin Patch





On Hallowe'en, my best friend and I (along with her husband) took the kids to the pumpkin patch to play in the bounce house and see the animals.

The cousins






What a motley crew! Iron Man, two dragons, Thomas, a unicorn and a teenager! That was the scariest of them all!

My sister and I took all of the kids Trick or Treating around her neighborhood before it got dark. The kids had fun and the moms got worn out.

Happy Hallowe'en


So, as promised, here are the two cuties! Tea was a unicorn and Crackers was Thomas the Tank Engine. DH made Cracker's costume from boxes and painted it and we added a flashlight for the nose/headlight. You can't see Tea's tail, but it was beautiful!

Here's Tea in Kindergarten, decorating her pumpkin. I think she had tons of fun at her first Hallowe'en school party. I sure did!

Here's Crackers walking to the school party. He was the hit, but the costume didn't stay on very long.

Our two children were the only ones with homemade costumes at the class party. There are 10 girls in Tea's class and 6 of them were princesses. One witch, two cats and a unicorn. It was fun. Watch this space for pictures of the cousins on Hallowee'en. Coming soon!
