The Best Halloween Ever


What a great day and night. The weather was perfect, Amber didn't work, Frank was off at 1100 hours. This was one of the best Halloweens we've had, doing just about everything we possibly fit in during the day... and night. We finally made it back home about 8:30.




School Time and Parade of Costumes

After the parade of costumes, we were able to bounce back and forth to Graycie and Mia's class helping out with each of the classes Halloween party. What a total screw-off day it was for the kids and teachers, but they all looked like they had a great time!

Kids Class Halloween Parties

We were both able to get to the kids school in time for both classes to parade around the other classrooms. Each class took turns touring the classrooms showing off their costumes. Pretty neat too watch 500 kids walk around, each with different costumes. Amber's sponge bob was a huge hit, everyone knew sponge bob! Amber made the costume at home by painting the face on a cardboard box.

Time to go Trick or Treat!


The girls had such a good time trick or treating. The weather was a little nippy but perfect, no clouds, no wind, no moisture... perfect. There were tons of people in and out of the neighborhood. We set off with the Joe and his girls and had a good time. The kids each got about 5 lbs of candy, which most of it will find its way lost. We filled up our cups full of wine, grabbed Pinot, and headed off throughout the neighborhood. We must have hit 50 houses last night. They kids had a BLAST!

First day of school at Longfellow Elementary


The first day of school at Longfellow Elementary was this week and boy were the kids ready to go. Mia is now in Kindergarten in Mrs. Briggs class... same teacher as Graycie. We both really enjoy Mrs. Briggs, such a good teach and our kids both love her. Graycie is now in Second grade, still with Mrs. Berg who we both really like also.




Here's the girls with their teachers:



We all were able to walk to school for and Mia and Mandy rode their scooters. The school is maybe 500 feet from our house so we'll be able to walk every day this year for both kids. Here's a few pictures and videos of the girls on their first day of school 2007.
