Preschool Halloween Party

Trent's Preschool Halloween Party was yesterday morning and the kids had a blast! I don't have any pictures cause I wasn't there but the note I got from his teachers made it sound like such a good time. The kids all dressed up in their costumes and "trick or treated" around the center and had cookies and juice. All the parents were instructed to bring a bag of candy for the kids to collect around the center and to sign up for cookies, cups, napkins, or juice. Wouldn't you know it, I got cookies! I didn't have time to bake cookies so I went up to Sweetheart Bakery and picked up some Monster shaped sugar cookies with lots of frosting! The kids loved them and the teachers were secretly hating me until I told them I had enough for them too! What a fun time in Trent's life right now, he's really starting to grow up and be a big boy!

Pumpkin carving

We did some pumpkin carving at Grandma and Grandpa Thompson's house last night. Trent is never very sure of the pumpkin innards but likes to help when he can. He mostly just likes to watch you carve it out but was more attentive this year than last year. After it was all finished Trent, Calla, Natalie and Brian all sat around it in the living room while we took pictures of them. We should probably carve our pumpkins at home sometime this week before Halloween but I just hate the mess!

cloth diapers

We've started doing cloth diapers at home with Calla to help the environment, help her sore little bottom and to help our bottom line! These are just a cute sampling of some of the diaper covers she has. I love that little fluffy bum!

Pics!

Here are some recent pics of the kids. I know I'm horrible about blogging lately but I vow to be better! This one above is from the pumpkin patch.
