Halloween

Ian and Eric with their carved pumpkins.

This year for Halloween, we made Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 & 2 costumes.  Ian is learning how to use our sewing machine and helped sew his costume.  The boys were excited to dress up and trick-or-treat with their friends.  

Other Halloween activities included learning a finger play for the song "Five Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Gate", entering a pumpkin carving contest, walking though a haunted corn maze, and playing a toilet paper mummy game.
