All Hallow's Eve

Image
Another Halloween has come and gone.  This year I didn't manage to get pictures of costumes somehow, but Isaac was Darth Vader again and Esther was Elsa again.  We did our mummy dogs and bug juice again, which Reid is finally starting to look forward to after all these years of doing a special Halloween dinner.  After trick or treating, I realized the kids had way too much candy and that I had bought way too much candy for trick or treaters.  So this mysterious person named Inafets came in the night and stole all the candy and undecorated the house like a halloween grinch.  Then he decided that candy could be left on the kids' beds if they had done nice things for each other during the day.  There is A LOT of talk about who this mysterious Inafets could be.  I personally congratulate him on his genius. Our crew at Halloween dinner. Our loot.  Disgusting amount, right? Mummy Dogs.  Esther ate four and bailed out on trick or treating early because her tummy hurt.

Esther's Reward and Isaac's Moves

Esther was rewarded in school for being responsible. Now if we can capitalize on that at home... Isaac loves to dance and has recently discovered NTV--Noodle television.  I get a kick out of it when he dances to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Oh, and Isaac can't stop scratching his bug bites.  He's gets them all the time and has marks on this legs from them, the little nasties! I also can't help but to throw this little treasure in...Isaac asked his dad to write some math problems for him to do.  Then he could take a picture when it was all done and send it to Reid to correct.  He was doing this in the morning before school while he was waiting for his sister to finish getting ready to go.  When I saw the paper laying on the table, my heart melted.  I don't know how math became such a bonding experience between Reid and Isaac, but I love it!
