halloween

how was everybody's halloween? brandon woke up halloween morning and greeted us with a very loud, "happy halloween"! he was so excited all day and couldn't wait for it to be dark. brandon had the plastic pumpkin buckets at the front door 2 weeks before the 31st, all ready to go.
we went trick or treating with 2 different families---separately. don't ask how that worked out....but we ended up with the same family we went with last year. the kids all had a blast. and can you believe I forgot my camera?? hoping to get pics from the mom we went with. here is our loot. there's something in there for everyone! we must have about 5lbs of candy. yay---cavities!
here's my buzz lightyear.
some pictures from brandon's school parade. he was extremely excited!
brandon as a kamen rider. he handpicked his costume this year from the party city catalog. that catalog is such a coveted item in our house. the boys would fight over looking through that!bryan's a sweetheart......no really, he had the underwear to prove it ;)
brandon had a class party with many activites. cookie decorating, bingo, coloring a frame, cutting a black cat and word search. class picture
treat bags i made. i found an online free printable to make these tags here. they were perfect for his class!
right before the kids came into the party from recess, brandon's teacher told the parents that volunteered for the party, that friday was her last day. WT....... really? what happened to 2 weeks notice? i was just glad i was there so that i could take this picture of her with brandon. we hardly got to know her. [she was little red riding hood BTW]
i forgot to take a picture of the card i made for brandon's teacher so i had to do it outside his classroom. excuse the half shadow.thanks for stopping by and looking through all these pictures!

I'll take the Reese's chocolate ones, please! What? His teacher is leaving? Who are they going to have now, that is strange! Thanks for sharing the weeks fun! I'm looking forward to x-mas festivities now!

good times...love that photo of little Bryan, too cute! Here's hoping Brandon's new teacher will be excellent (and maybe stick around for a while too!) I had 4 different teachers for my 3rd grade year...they kept getting pregnant!...I'm sure I can blame them for any current neurosis I may be experiencing, lol!
