Trick or Treat

It is Halloween week and time for candy....candy....candy....that is all their minds are on and they wake up asking for it, fighting over it and trying to get some out of the candy bowl all day long. We went trick or treating at the nursing home yesterday and Iris had her Halloween party at school today. I'm room mom so I got to help out and get a couple of pictures. It was quite surprisingly very quiet for a room full of 3 year olds. We are super excited for Trick or Treating and can't wait for Grandma and Grandpa's visit.

No We Can't Keep them....

Happy Fall.... here is a picture of the kids in front of the Morton Arboretum. The kids love the Children's garden and enjoyed seeing all of the different pumpkins and gourds.

No we can't keep them...Our neighbors found 2 baby kittens in their yard right before they left on vacation. We took them home with a promise to find them a new home. Daddy was very surprised to see two baby kittens when he got home from work and Parker really begged to keep them. Daddy stood firm (good thing one of us would!) and we dropped them off at a no kill shelter the next day. They were only 3 weeks old and needed a nursing mother (which this place had)...so in the end it was good lesson for the kids that the baby kittens got a new mom to take care of them because their other mom couldn't. We had lots of fun playing with them while we had them though...oh so cute!
