Bear Down - Chicago Pumpkin

Pumpkin Carving

This was our template for the pumpkin.

Go Bears!

Payton couldn't wait to dig in.


Busy Bee even got a hand into the mix.

Stay tuned for the finished pumpkin.
Jim did the carving of the Bears logo. It took about 2 hrs but was so worth it!

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween Pictures

we had a class party for the 6th graders.

Need I mention I CANNOT BELIEVE MY CHILD IS IN SIXTH GRADE!!! ?

and yes, half these children are taller than me. ha.

they played games but only because it involved food.

the fairy liked it though.

as did the dinosaur. roar!

i think this is an indication of an OD on sugar.

the pop corn race was a hit with the little ones too.

What happened to all the 6th graders?

Are they really too cool to play silly games at Halloween?

one day they will see you should never grow to old to play silly games.

and the final wrap up of the Halloween whirlwind was trick or treating. this is a cool house huh?

It was cold and windy for trick or treat and Rea succembed to be a bee again.

Here it is a week later and the candy is almost gone.

this weekend

it was a blur of candy, hauntedness and costumed fun. we had 5 parties and 2 football games this weekend. whew. we all went to bed early monday night.

here are some pics:
