Trick or Treat 2011

We had such a great time on Halloween.  Once again, our BAM group came to our house and helped us give away over 600 "Halloweenies" (612 to be exact!).  We probably had over 1000 trick or treaters come and visit us!

Halloween at School

Cooper got to wear his costume to school today and go trick or treating in the halls.  While Reagan didn't wear her costume to school, she did dress in a halloween themed shirt.

We finally got around to painting our pumpkins today.  

Halloweenie Prep

Tonight, the kids and I went to pick up our "halloweenies" and buns in preparation for our trick or treaters on Halloween night.  This year, we'll be giving away 600 hot dogs with a little help from our friends!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Cooper's class went on another field trip today.  This time it was to visit the pumpkin patch.  Cooper said he rode a wagon, walked through corn (maze), saw cows & horses, climbed and picked out the best pumpkin ever!

Too Cute

I thought the kids looked too cute this morning not to take their picture!!!

Handsome

Here are Cooper's school fall pictures.

so handsome

The other night, Cooper was having bad behavior (hard to believe, I know!).  When he was finished with his tantrum, I asked him to apologize for his behavior.  He said, "I'm sorry", but when I asked what he was sorry for, he said, "I can't say those bad words, they make me choke."  He never did tell me what he was sorry for...and because of that he didn't get to watch cartoons:(
