Halloween Part 2

Piper and I are doing a co-op preschool with a couple of friends. This week we had a Halloween party at our house for the kids.

Ellie, Piper, and Wes



Sunday Princess

Piper loves cuddling with Simon. Here they are after church with Piper in her "new" princess dress that Rick got with her at Goodwill.


Pumpkin picking

We went pumpkin picking on Saturday. We ended up with two pumpkins; we'll be carving them on Friday I think.





Halloween part 1

On Saturday we ventured to the Rocky River Early Childhood PTA Halloween Party. This officially kicked off our Halloween festivities. Our little witch had a fun time. Then we made some Halloween cookies.

Trick or Treat



Cheese!


More sleeping


The traditional ghost cookies with some cats, witches, and pumpkins added in for good measure

Zoo trip

We had rain on and off last week but on a beautiful day last week so we went to the zoo for the afternoon.

Lunch before seeing the animals


Piper took her binoculars to the zoo and decided that this was the most convenient way to carry them.


Simon slept through most of the animals but did manage to wake up to see the sharks and lemurs.

The kids

Looking all pimped out

Kid's Night at Chick-Fil-A

Monday nights in Rocky River are Kid's Night at Chick-Fil-A. We went and had a ball. Piper and I split a chicken strip dinner though I could have got her a kid's meal as it was free with an adult dinner purchase. She met the cow mascot that we frequently see on the side of the road in front of the restaurant. She made a trick-or-treat bag craft and got a small bag of candy. Then I let her play for a while in the indoor playground. I was slow to coming around to Chick-Fil-A (Rick is a fan.) but I do love their customer service and the food is quite healthy and cheap too.

Lovin' the cow


She couldn't get enough of Mr. Cow.


The boy slept through it all.
