This week led up to Halloween plus Drug-free week activities, and then POOF! November.

Oct. 26

I actually did something spontaneous with the whole family on Sunday! (that never happens) I looked up a local city guide, saw that there was a ballet/dance Halloween production going on that afternoon, bought tickets, and we all went. (seriously, that NEVER happens. I’m a planner.)

Oct. 27

Another successful trip to the dentist. (it was only after that certain people started getting cranky and trying to steal cookies)

Oct. 28

Picking up a girl scout from the face-painting meeting (Louise is getting so big!).

Oct. 29

Pajama day!

Oct. 30

Hat day at school (and the “real” pajama day in kindergarten) (the day before wasn’t a goof-up on my part, just a special day in kindergarten right after a drug-free week day for everyone)

Oct. 31

Halloween! There was a parade, and then school parties and then trick-or-treating. A fun day was had by all.

Nov. 1

Our sixth anniversary! Date night!
