October 30, 31 - Parties, Snow, Halloween


Late on October 29th, it started snowing. It was dark here, but we couldn't resist checking it out. Kacey was in her PJ's running outside and screaming at the top of her lungs, "I LOVE WINTER!"
After having snow plows/trucks wake me up 3 times, I got up to this the next morning ... it was 6 or so inches.


Fortunately, people take care of me over here... Marti had just loaned me Charlie's snow clothes from last year, so we put those on Cambelle.
Then went out to play.
"I can't believe mom put me in all these boy clothes, THEN takes my picture! I refuse to look happy in these clothes."

School had a 'Fall Party' on October 30. Being American's, the Canadian director couldn't believe we didn't wear costumes to last year's party..it was on October 31. So this year, the costumes went to the party.

They couldn't believe we wore costumes on October 30... it's not Halloween. So, our kids and the Billington's kids were the only ones in costumes, but they didn't care. Snow White wouldn't have had it any other way.


And Buzz was just happy to not have on snow clothes!

"I'm not smiling if I can't wear my princess shoes...snow or no snow."

And parties are the best...I get to play with the big kid toys instead of all the 'baby stuff.'

Charlie had the dual purpose costume ... celebrating Halloween AND making a political statement... and at such a young age!

October 30 was the BIG 2-7 for Katie...but we celebrated on the 31st. She and Tom came in costume. (You can see from these pictures that our kids really don't care for Tom and Katie and vice versa.)




Yes, Kacey and I are Martha Stewart's at heart. (See my house and you'll know the opposite it true.) But, somehow this cake worked out. Long story as to why flip flops, but cute huh?

Halloween toe socks...I'm so jealous!
