Halloween

Halloween was fun this year.  The kids spent the month of September thinking about what they wanted to be and decided on a fire fighter and Doc McStuffins.  Nolan never wavered from his decision but Quinn had a few meltdowns about changing her costume to Elsa but we were able to persuade her and avoided having to buy a second costume.  The kids enjoyed their school parties, carving pumpkins, and trick-or-treating.  Halloween and trick-or-treating landed on a Monday this year, unfortunately, I came down with the flu that day and missed the trick-or-treating fun as I couldn't leave the couch.  Luckily Eric was took pictures and walked the kids around while Darby passed our candy out for us.  The kids came home with pink cheeks, big smiles, and mountains of candy!

Quinn led the costume parade at school.

Nolan's kindergarten class.  I was volunteered to be room mom for his classroom so one of my duties is to run the classroom parties (haha, yep).  So we played Halloween bingo, did a bean bag toss, and had a special snack before heading out for the day.

Quinn wanted a happy pumpkin with eyebrows and Nolan opted for a scarier version this year.

Nolan drew this on the computer during computer lab at school.  The pumpkin says, "watch out for skeletons!"

 Doc McStuffins and a very peaceful fire fighter.  Not sure where the peace sign came from?

 Quinn and our neighbor Chloe/Ariel.

 Happy trick-or-treater.

Quinn and her best bud Reese.
