Well, 'tis the season for costumes and candy, pumpkins and parties! Corwin had his school Halloween party this Friday. They get to bring their costumes to school and wear them at the party, and they eat and eat and eat.
Then, they have a Costume Parade. Each class lines up and the kids parade by the parents and other kids and show off their costumage. Ninjas, withes, super heroes, princesses, animals, scary characters, cartoon characters, etc. You name it, we saw it. I am proud of Corwin. He wanted to be a ninja for Halloween, and made this decision quite some time ago and told me he'd buy it with his birthday money. Since money is tight, that made Mommy very happy. (And Daddy too.)
Owen wanted to be Thomas the Train. Thankfully, I found a cheap and comfortable costume for this boy. He absolutely loves it!
That evening began Intramural Basketball. This is Corwin's second year to play, and he loves it. They played one game Friday night and two Saturday. They've lost all three, but he either doesn't know, or doesn't care. He's having fun, and I love the fact that he isn't pouting over the losses.
Saturday evening was the school carnival. So, we loaded up our ninja, train, and little birdie (she was supposed to be an owl, but looks more like a general bird). We enjoyed--well, the KIDS enjoyed--an hour and a half of carnival games and came home with a small collection of candy and toys. Again, they offered to pay with their birthday money. And, let me tell you, $5 of tickets goes a L-O-N-G way. I mean L O N G!
It was a fun weekend, finished off with some pumpkin carving. I didn't get pictures of that, but will try to get the boys out there with their creations. Have I mentioned that I love fall!??!
