Halloween

Josh and his class sang the witch's brew song

trying to get some pictures of the whole class

 School Parade. Starting with Snappy the Glenville Gator

Principal Mr. D'amico as Iron Man

Josh as Darth Vader and his friend Conner as a storm trooper

Caitlyn as Princess Elsa and Josh as Darth Vader

 They can't run to get candy fast enough!

Pumpkin Carving

We were invited by the Greenwich Newcomers Group to a member house for pumpkin carving.

 The kids were quickly distracted by the trampoline.  Josh in the green sweatshirt, Caitlyn in the purple t-shirt.

 The hosts had a great gated front and back yard.  A soccer net was set up and they had fun with that too!

 The finished products.  This was Josh's design

 Caitlyn chose a witch, though it's hard to tell from this pic.

 It's easier to see the witch on the right.

I really needed a tripod to take this; sorry it's so blurry.

Halloween

the day had finally come, and it was time to trick or Treat!

unfortunately, Halloween in Chicago is often cold...I'll have to remember to get them both warmer costumes next year!

Gabe (dinosaur), Madden (m&m), Josh (spiderman)
Emery (just happy to be trick or treating!)

Surprisingly, at 4:30, when we went out, not many people were there...maybe it was too cold...we didn't give away most of our candy!

Halloween at school

Trying to catch a picture before school

I just thought her expression was so cute!

while Josh is at school on Tuesdays, Caitlyn goes to a music class, and Tuesday was also dress up day there!  The kids were SO cute.

At the end, Miss Michelle let the kids play with an inflatible pumpkin...

Caitlyn was persistent enough to be the last playing with it!
