Happy Halloween!

Halloween was quite hectic this year - Hayley had the International Lunch at preschool and Ethan had a Fall party at kindergarten. We tried to have an early dinner and ended up taking longer as the kids just couldn't sit still - I guess they were excited and ready for trick or treating. Hayley loved her ladybug costume (thanks to aunty Christy and Lauren) and Ethan was just fine with his astronaut costume from last year. He even said he would want the same thing next year. We'll see. The kids got to go trick or treating with Bumble Bee Bellamie who we have not seen in months. Check out some of the pictures:

 

The many faces of Jack-O'- Lantern

We carve a pumpkin every year and here are some of the many faces we have used - mostly happy.

Clifford the Big Red Dog

I won some tickets for the Clifford the Big Red Dog musical from work. It was a cute musical and the kids enjoyed it very much.

Hayley's First Dentist Visit

It was Hayley's first visit to the dentist. She was a little scared at first and was not a happy camper when we sat her down on the dentist chair. Then she decided that she didn't want her teeth cleaned and wanted to only lay on daddy while her teeth got cleaned. But the dental hygienist managed to get her to sit by herself for X-rays. Ethan was also there for his teeth cleaning and was quite supportive. Overall she did great and had a good experience. And best of all no cavities!

Cheeeze...

Hayley's first school picture. It's funny how she and Ethan had the same smile when Ethan took his first school picture back in 2009.

Socks

One of my mom's friends knitted these cute socks for the kiddos. They will come in handy during the cold nights at bedtime.
