Shine, Iron Man, Shine

After a rough morning and several bouts of tears, Iron Man perked up for his preschool Halloween program and belted the songs.  He truly does have the "Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Down in [his] Heart"!

The Family That Dresses Up Together . . . Stays Together!

Two days before Halloween and we're already been in and out of our costumes too many times to count (although the costumes keep changing!)!

1) Frankie's birthday hayride

     Dad = Captain America/Predator

     Mom = Wasp

     Lexi = Cheerleader

     Frankie = Iron Man

     Henry = Spiderman

2) Neighborhood Adult Halloween party

     Dad = Joe Dirt (note: mustaches are super creepy in ALL circumstances)

     Mom = Wasp

3) Daddy/Daughter Dance

     Dad = Mr. Incredible (although we know he's incredible all the time!)

     Lexi = Egyptian Princess (yes, her cheerleader top is lost somewhere in her room.  Yes, we looked for   

          over an hour.  Go with it!)

Headed to the Girl Scouts Daddy/Daughter Dance

4) Trunk or Treat at church
     Dad = Mr. Incredible
     Mom = Clown (costume lovingly made decades ago by Grandma Evelyn)
     Lexi = Egyptian Princess (still no cheerleader top)
     Frankie = Iron Man
     Henry = Captain America

Church's Trunk or Treat

Two (Too?) cool heroes

Still up . . . a class party for each child and Trick-or-Treating Wednesday night!  Whew!

Fall Fun

What a wonderful Fall start we've had!  Nana and Popo got to join us on the preschool field trip to the petting zoo and, despite the chilly weather, we had a lovely time!

Caught a fish!

Frankie and two of the sweetest boys in Olathe!

The boys discovered the woods at Grandma & Papa's and, on a recent impromptu visit, spent an afternoon climbing up and down hills and constructing this campfire (complete with red leaf "flames"!).
