Happy Halloween!

It is officially Halloween 2007! Wow.. The kids were very excited to be able to put their costumes on again.. Dom was really enjoying being Buzz Light Year...and my cute Pirate had fun with lollipops! We really began celebrating yesterday with the carving of pumpkins.. Both kids were having a great time..until.. Alyssa came eye-to-eye with the inside of the pumpkin.. That was the end of carving for her.. she bolted out of the kitchen crying and refusing to come back.. she got to spend some daddy time...
My dad helped me out today and picked Dom up from school and we went to the Target shopping center where they had a carnival... it was a good time and the kids loved Trick-or-Treating... When we got home, we met up with Lance and Allie and the rest of our neighbors and continued Trick-or-Treating around the neighborhood... Doesn't Lance the Pirate and Allie the flower look adorable! Alyssa didn't even make it around the block because she started wheezing badly.. poor baby..
.......
I have to admit.. I really enjoy Halloween.. I even got in on the act and dressed up as Olive Oil.. My aides and I always dress up in theme.. Luckily my aide Mrs. Robles can sew and she always helps to create some fun costumes.. So this year we were Olive Oil, Popeye, and Brutis.. It has become such a big thing with our staff it's almost stressful... This year since Alyssa is just across the street from work, Mary(babysitter) brought her by so she could take part in the parade... It was a good time... Here are my goofy students.. they looked great! Wait until next year...
