Halloween 2011

This morning Randy and I had a parent/teacher conference with Andrew's teacher. Andrew had the day off so as soon as we were done Andrew, Matthew, and I headed to the zoo for Boo Zoo! It was a fabulous day with my boys. The weather was fantastic so we had to squeeze in a train ride before leaving Hermann Park.
We joined the Seels for their neighborhood costume parade and then hit up both their neighborhood and ours for some trick or treat fun. The Krovontkas joined us as well but Maddie wasn't a bug fan of her puppy dog costume.
It was a great day! Makes me wish Andrew had more days off this time of year!!

Halloween Eve

This morning after church, we had a quick lunch at Buffalo Grille. It was nice to sit outside.
Later on we hit up the Children's Halloween Party at The Racquet Club. Andrew danced his heart out and Matthew ran around like a crazy 2 year old. They both enjoyed themselves.
We ended up having chicken dinner night there with Rob and Liv and some of their friends before calling it a night.
I'm excited to have both boys home with me tomorrow just line old times. I'm thinking a trip to the zoo is in the works!

GNO and Halloween traditions

Last night I went out with 3 ladies I taught with at Lowery. Lynne, Jen, and Katy make me laugh and laugh and laugh! We were definitely the loudest and the last people to leave Alicia's last night. But, it was good for the soul!
Tonight we had the Juenkes and the Burks over for dinner. We started a Halloween play date tradition years ago getting the kids together for pumpkin shaped grilled cheese, tomato web soup, and to paint pumpkins. But, since they are now school age, we decided to invite the daddies in for some Halloween fun. The kids had a blast playing in the back yard with the cool front that blew in last night. For dessert I made triple chocolate mummy cupcakes.

2 Year Check Up and Pumpkin Contest

This morning Matthew had his two year check up with Dr. Crane. Everything looked really good...we just might be going down the allergy road with Matthew too;(. He is long and lean..26 lbs. (26%) and ??" (80%). She said it wouldn't hurt him to keep up with the vitamin D whole milk!
This evening Andrew completed his pumpkin for the school contest tomorrow. He choose to make the Fly Guy, a popular character in an early reader series. It was alot of fun to work as a family tonight and I think Andrew is pretty proud of the end product.
