Against My Better Judgement!

Sign on Miles' class door that read: Adopt Salem for the weekend. I could have totally let this slide, but Zachary was able to read the sign on the classroom door. Reading is good, but it can get you in trouble sometimes. So, Zachary then told his brother about this and both of them were so excited, I had to give in. Remember, this is TOTALLY against my better judgement. Of course when the day came to get the pet, the teachers all promised me that there is nothing too watching Salem for the weekend. All I could think about is what if something happens on my watch????
Needless to say, the boys had a great time with the pet this weekend. And, the teachers were right, nothing too it! I have to admit, it wasn't as bad as I thought. I am glad we can take him back!!!!!

Halloween

We went over to a friend's house to trick or treat. The boys both had more candy than they would ever eat BEFORE we went trick or treating. The boys rode a hay ride while getting candy. They had a good time despite the cold weather and were worn out by the time we got home.

Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins the night before halloween. The boys each had an idea of what their pumpkins should look like. Zachary wanted his pumpkin to look like a bat and Miles wanted his to be happy. So, we set out to create the pumpkins. All was going well until we put the pumpkins outside. The next time we looked at the creations we had made, they did not look the way we carved them, unless you count the teeth marks???? Maddie-our so sweet family dog was running around the yard with orange on her face. She was guilty!!!
Despite the dog chewing up the creation, we had fun!
