A rainy Halloween

The weather on Oct. 31st was pretty bad. It was rainy and chilly, and I didn't think we would have many trick or treaters. I was wrong. Nothing stops kids from candy. Erik took 5 kids out Trick or Treating while I sat in my toasty house eating Take 5 candy bars. Seemed like a good arrangement.
Sarah's Kindergarten Class

Jenna's Third Grade Class
 The kids had parties in their classes. You will notice the kindergartners sitting so nicely and calmly while the third graders are acting crazy. Not a surprise.  I am the room Mom for Jenna's class and am just a Mom for Sarah's class. For a treat I brought peeled clementine oranges with a tiny cucumber slice in the center to look like pumpkins. They were a big hit!
They are so cute when they sleep
 Last week I went to wake up Matthew from his nap and saw him sleeping so soundly in his big boy bed. He has been talking so much lately and has peed in the potty twice. What a big boy!

Grace, Jenna and Abigail's candy loot
 After all 5 kids came back from Trick or Treating the older girls dumped their candy on the dining room table and sorted it all. Then they took what they want and left the rest in a pile. We ended up with a LOT of candy. I'm not sure what we are going to do with all this candy. Right now I'm dipping reeses cups in extra peanut butter but that's just me.

Brownies
 Today we went to Olentangy caverns with Jenna's friend Paige. The caverns were fun and it wasn't very crowded. The kids had a good time even though Sarah screamed a few times (ie slippery steps, seeing the Indian burial grounds, and various other non-important times). Then they did gem mining which is one of Jenna's favorite activities. Paige came back to sleepover at our house so Jenna declared today to be the best day!
