Happy Halloween (almost!)

All smiles before school this morning, watching the movie "Homeward Bound." Certain parts just crack him up!

His spooky spider cookie he made when we had 2 friends come over yesterday for a Halloween play date.

At school, playing the "Musical Numbers" game

Here he comes with his class!

Hi there! Sorry we've been MIA for a week here! We're doing fine, just have had a busy week, as usual! Last Thursday was Bear Cub's "Fall Festival" at school and I volunteered to help out. I was at the cookie decorating station and loved seeing all the cute kiddies in their class shirts, having fun. BC was happy for me to be there and let me work for some time before he started wanting to come and just stay with me. It was cute to watch him with his class and teachers doing all the fall activities. :) Tomorrow we'll go to school to trick-or-treat before heading home. I'm glad the Tuesday/Thursday kids are allowed to participate...he's excited to wear his costume to school! Speaking of his costume...it is adorable, but going to be VERY warm in our upper 80s, humid weather we're having. It may not stay on for very long on Saturday evening! A little Fall weather would be nice around here... maybe in February??

Another big thing around here --- which finally started last Thursday --- are the "WHY??" questions. I figured they were coming soon, as he asked all kinds of other questions, but wow, he asked "Why does....???" a lot now!

Some examples:

"Why is Mommy kissing me?

"Why do you like talking to me, Mommy?"

"Why are you doing dat, Mommy?" (about ANYTHING!)

"Why are we driving in traffic?"

It's pretty funny and leads to lots of interesting conversations!! :)

Happy Halloween to all! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures on the big day here (before he's a big, sweaty mess!). Have a good one!
