End of October

 In October, we had some really great weather.  It was a colorful sunny autumn and we went outdoors as much as we could.  We did many bike rides.  The one below is to the forest near our house.

Looking for the ducks and the pretty leaves.

Taking a break to have a snack

Getting ready for Halloween.  I found a candy bucket and Archie decided that it was better used as a hat.  He wouldn't take it off so why argue with him.  The Dutchies thought it was amusing.

We had a playdate with Archie's best friend, Italo.  They love each other.  Italo's family had to go on vacation the second week we were away in September because he refused go to school without Archie.  He hugs him every morning when we see him at school

The kids have a new game: sliding down the couch.

Playing in the leaves at school

For the Women's club I am in, I threw a Halloween Party for the kids.  We had 35 youngsters and 15 adults.  It was a fun time for all.  Not sure I can do that again though! :)

Archie dressed up as a pirate and Sylvie was a shark.

Some of the games I made:  Witch-Hat Ring Toss

Pin the Eyes on the Monster.  Cool Monster!  I loved making it.

Next year should be more fun.  Can't wait to work on the costumes!
