We have had a busy Halloween and we haven’t even done the official Halloween trick or treating. Below are a few of our favorites so far and if you click on one of them you will be taken to flickr where you can see all of our Halloween pictures.

Included are pictures of pumpkin carving, Colin’s preschool Halloween parade and trick or treating around the Maplewood Village. Hannah had the most fun of everyone at the village and was crying when she realized we were leaving.

We’re ready to learn to get some knowledge. Name that movie.

The family tradition (thanks to Suzanne’s family) of taking a picture in front of the garage. Can’t start fingers until 1st grade though.

“Are you excited Colin?”

“Are you really excited Colin?”

With his friend Jackie Kalaher.

“Mrs. Illingworth, this is my pirate ship shirt, isn’t it great?”

As you can see his teacher is already having to tell him to clean up after himself. That blur you see in the front of the picture is his best bud Ellie.

In case you didn’t know, Matt is an apple nut. Perhaps he would like to share the story of an apple and a toilet with everyone.

While reading a story Colin kept licking his pointer finger. I ask him why he kept licking his finger and he told me it was what I did.

Of course I use my licked finger to help me turn pages. Colin wasn’t using his licked finger for any thing.

Our local Turtle Back Zoo has a lovely aviary where the kids can feed the birds. Our recent visit there made Colin and I feel like Dr Doolittle since the birds readily sat on our sticks to eat and stayed a long time, even when other people were struggling to get a bird to come near them.
