Ben and Greg spent some time raking leaves in the yard, so I couldn't resist a photo of him in the pile :) I love the colors (and weather) this time of year!
Organizing his cars by color - an activity that can take up a good 30 minutes considering just how many matchbox cars he has accumulated!
Having a four year old around for Halloween is serious fun. I loved that he was involved in selecting his (and my) costume. He loved having the Halloween decorations around the house and at school. It was such a difference from last year in terms of how into everything he was :)
On Thursday morning, I took him to story time at the Brier Library. My mom had taken him last Thursday when she watched him and suggested I check it out - particularly because they were going to wear costumes :) It was about 35 minutes long - they read books, danced to music, made a craft (below) and gave each of them a treat - and we came home with some new library books.
On Friday, Ben's school had a "Fall Festival", and all of the kids wore costumes and went through various stations of crafts and games. Here he is with Freya, his "best".
On Friday night, we made pumpkin cookies :)
On Saturday morning, Ben had his last soccer practice - and most of the kids wore costumes. It was a fun practice complete with an obstacle course and all of the kids went home with a trophy :)
And finally, Halloween arrived!
We had the Cougans and the Nikonovs over to do some trick-or-treating!
Maeve and Ben led the pack - they are total pros now!
All the "kids" taking selfies ;)
Haha. Those crazy "kids" ;)
