On Tuesday after school, Matt helped the kids carve their pumpkins! Mason had a lot of seeds sprouting inside his pumpkin, so many they thought it was worms! Anna also had a spout in her pumpkin. Always a first and this year seems to be full of them!
Mason's pumpkin.
Anna's pumpkin.
And Olivier's pumpkin!
On Wednesday, the kids went with me to work for a Relay for Life walk. It was nice to be able to support the cause, involve the kids, and get in some "PE". Olivier was happy to get these glasses too!
On Thursday, while the kids were doing their school work I noticed that Taz was a bit agitated outside. Then I saw the neighbors chickens just beyond the fence. He didn't understand why I wouldn't let him have one, and why they couldn't come into the yard! Here you can see Poppy (white chicken).
And then Pepper joined her.
And then Penny. Penny was the most hesitant because recently she came into the yard and Taz made a bee line for her.
For Halloween we kept it low key. We did get a family photo of our 50's girl, air traffic controller, dragon tamer, Johnny Appleseed, and Marty McFly.
We wanted to make the day special so we had some fun activities for the kids. We set up a scavenger hunt around the house which ended in a pile of candy we know they wanted. Then it was on to carnival games! We had set up a putter with various candy they could win depending on how far the shot was. Bigger for the harder shots!
We had a balloon pop with darts that they got candy for each popped balloon . And a bean bag tick tack toe game that had different candy in the spots.
The aftermath of the balloon dart game!
And then we added in the ping pong ball bucket toss. Small pieced for the big buckets and big for the small buckets.
We enjoyed our time together and the kids were happy to get plenty of candy. And Anna was happy to get stuff she could eat with her braces! We were thinking we would watch a movie but we ended up having a full evening with the games.
