Halloween 2019

Image
Here's a little sampler of the Halloween fun for this year.  We made witch hat cookies and went "booing." We carved pumpkins. The kids each designed their own. Emmie mainly just wrote all over herself with a magic marker. Bryn's spooky owl. Addison's Minecraft jack-o-lantern. Very clever.   Asa's is a classic. It's half saying "boo," and half smiling. And Leah's cat. They were cool-looking on our porch!  We went to the Treehouse Museum's Walk in the Woods program. It was loads of fun and completely free since we're members! Then it snowed and got ridiculously cold out of nowhere.  So we baked! A new sugar cookie recipe for our jack-o-lantern cookies this year.  Emmie liked the frosting more than the cookie.

Pirates, Teeth, and Hamsters

Leah's had a couple fun events at school in the past couple months that I wanted to share. Fun event number one: Pirate day Her class got to dress as pirates. She even pulled out a tooth the night before to add authenticity to her get-up. Fun event number two: This one happened just last Friday. She got to participate in a book character convention. Each student had to read a book on their Lexile level and dress as a character from the book and give an oral book report in front of the class. She rocked it as Humphrey the Hamster from Winter According to Humphrey. It was a fun coincidence that she was this character from this book, because you may recall, Bryn did the exact same one when she was in second grade!  My buttons were bursting. I'm so proud of this girl for her hard work in school!
