Party almost here. We drove daddy to work this morning so he could ride his bike home. This morning I gave the kiddos a bath early. Nikki didn’t stay in for very long. As soon as I got them both out, I went outside and finished some more gardening. Then I came in, fed the kiddos lunch, packed up for pre school, and loaded the car. We had to bring snack, costumes, camera, change of clothes, etc. It was a fun day at school. I wore my pirate costume. I was the only mom who dressed up. I was doing some painting tissue paper thing with the kiddos, then a puppet show, blocks, then Bingo. We had lots of fun. The kids put on their costumes and went on a little parade outside. They just loved when someone noticed them. Here are a few pics:
I love Halloween. I hate to think it will be over so soon. Since I was snack mom the kids got to take Ms. Bushy Tail and Mr. Pickles home. I can not believe how much the kiddos love those little guys. They played with them outside school then came home and showed them our house. I did some more gardening out front. The kids came out and helped for a bit. We got out their cars and they gave their animals a ride to Palm Springs. Our yard looks beautiful right now. I just wish it could stay that way for a long time. It does take a lot to maintain. Tonight the kids helped me fill little plastic pumpkins and cauldrens for a little Halloween hunt (similar to an Easter egg hunt). Dad put batteries in the little flashlights for the night hunt. So party stuff is complete. Just a little last minute cleaning tomorrow and hoping for no rain. Justin wanted to snuggle tonight. It was great as we had lots of cuddle time with the kiddos. I feel like bedtime has been so rushed lately so it was nice to cuddle and talk.
