Halloween fervor

This is Halloween...this is Halloween...

I love the pumpkins that Kennedy created this year. Just thought I'd share them again in case this picture didn't jump out at you from the Shutterfly website. How clever these are! She is giving the spider to her math/science teacher, Mr. Marcus, and the witch to her homeroom/ English/ history teacher, Ms. Eaton {and the witch is NOT a symbol to represent her feelings for her teacher...she likes her teacher very much!}

We had a busy Halloween weekend. We started with a party at the school on Friday night - the Monster Mash. It was quite a success, and many parents worked very hard to make it a night to remember. Some of us were there until almost 11 p.m. cleaning up! Saturday, Brooke had a girl scout event all morning (learning to tie knots, cook on a fire, etc - all the handy things a little girl should know).

Saturday night was another Halloween party for Kennedy at her friend's house! Tina was very brave hosting a house full of 6th graders! Fun was had by all.

Sunday...we made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch, this time with the Zavolta family. Somehow I managed to lose half my pictures from this day.

Shoot.

That evening, we went to a neighborhood party for ANOTHER Halloween event!

Check out my friend, Suzanne's, cinnamon roll Princess Lea buns on the side of her head. Cracked. Me. Up.

Also, and this is big news, August and I went on a date on Saturday night! As in just the two of us for almost four hours! We even ventured "over the hill" to Hollywood. We felt very cutting edge (I mean, old).

What a wonderful weekend...
