We’re gearing up for Halloween, but not as much as everybody else, I guess…we went to the pumpkin patch this weekend, but nobody dressed up for parties or anything. And is it weird that I’m sad that I won’t be dressing up? I mean, I guess I could, but we’re only going trick-or-treating and I won’t be getting candy. I do like to dress up, though (and saw an amazing Maleficent costume at Target) and I know it makes the kids happy when I do. Ah, well….the life of an introvert.

In other news, I can’t believe October is almost done already.

Pumpkin painting!

My work outing version of hot pink and leopard print. And a Louise photobomb.

All of the sudden, my kindergartner became a teenager.

Oct. 22

Parent-teacher conferences. I love seeing their artwork on the walls (and I loved all the detail in Henry’s scarecrow).

And Bitty Babe and I coordinated…she’s not so bitty anymore though. She’s as big as the cats now!

Oct. 23

Erv and I ran some errands and got flu shots (I got the shot, he got the mist). He wouldn’t take a picture with me, though. Grumpy pants.

The girls finally (barely) agreed to do the Spirit/Cheer clinic, in which they go early to a high school football team and the cheerleaders teach them a routine that they all do at half-time, plus they get to do some cheers during the first half. It was ridiculously cute, and the girls did such a good job.

We finally got to the pumpkin patch, the last weekend before they all close. And it was warm….but fun and a beautiful day.

How was your week? Any Halloween fun already?
