Sep. 17, 2007 - Fall is in the air
Well, there's been a definite chill in the air for the past few days. Today I put an extra quilt on the bed and also broke out the slowcooker this weekend for a pot roast. I love seeing the seasons change! It's even more fun with little ones. The kids are so excited about the approach of Halloween. Savannah has already drawn a pumpkin next to the word October on her Saxon math calendar so she can keep track of which month it falls in! I want to do a little party for them this year. I'm thinking I'll do it on the Friday before Halloween. I know they'll be getting so much candy on Halloween night, so if I do their party on a different day, I can bake treats for them and not worry about them getting sick from too much junk :) So I'm thinking I'll turn it into a fun day with no regular school work. I'll read some good Halloween stories to them, plan some activities and arts and crafts projects, and maybe let them watch a Halloween movie while they eat their treats!
We're still figuring out their Halloween costumes this year. Noah wants to be a LEGO. I think I might try to make it myself using boxes, paint, and some other things. Savannah wants to be a cat. Actually, I think she would really like to be a puppy (like she was last year), but I suppose a cat is the next best thing. The two little ones I'm not sure about yet. I like the idea of doing a matching theme for them, like a pumpkin and a pea pod. We'll see :)

My daughter turns two in October. I think that she is old enough to have fun with some type of party. I can't decide between costumes (since everyone has them for halloween) or pj party. I love kid parties - they are so cute! My son already picked out his spiderman costume and he is already wearing it!
