I wasn't joking when I said this is how we pass our time!

This is what we do to pass the time while Anna & Sarah are at school! He can solve most of the puzzles we have up to 36 pieces with very little guidance from me now (partly because we've done them so much, but I'd like to note that he amazes me because he does not get frustrated when a piece doesn't go where he initially thought it would, he just sets it aside and tries a new one).

Sometimes Henry wants in on the headband/barrette action when Anna & Sarah are getting ready for school.

I don't know why we didn't get a picture before we started when Henry was still awake!

Organizing.

The kids did great trick-or-treating this year! Henry started saying "trick-or-treat" and "thank you" at the doors so the girls quickly copied him (isn't this supposed to be the reverse???). Henry made it a lot farther around the block than I ever thought he would but Craig & Henry did go home before the girls & I finished. I was truly surprised though when both Sarah & Anna continued to say "trick-or-treat" and "thank you, Happy Halloween" at each door. This was a major breakthrough for Anna to talk to complete strangers! Before tonight, the girls couldn't comprehend how they would end up with "too much" candy but they definitely understand now.

She didn't want to get pumpkin guts all over her clothes...

Since things went so well at the pumpkin patch we went to the little airport for lunch afterwards just like last year (I guess that means it's an annual tradition now?).

Last year we bought and carved our pumpkins too early and they rotted on the front porch in the heat before Halloween. I braved the patch without Craig this year and the kids were fantastic. (I guess they are all growing up!)

Anna was super into this today.

They were excited when the train passed by (but it was too loud for Sarah: note she is covering her ears).

We went to Old Town Spring today to see how I liked it for portraits next week for a client; I wish Henry hadn't been so grumpy so we could have gotten some with all three kids! Maybe next time.

The girls are heading down to the cud-de-sac to decorate it for Halloween.

Anita sent this fun cupcake kit down and it was a hit!

Sarah wanted to check out my witch costume from last year. Henry did not want to try it on.
