candy night

We haven't chosen to do much when Halloween rolls around but this year we were in America and decided to jump in and collect a little candy.  The kids and I went to our neighbor friend's for play, then dinner, then a raid on her dress-up box and out to ring doorbells.


I texted this picture to Matt and he responded "which ones are our boys?"  It was great fun - Casey and I laughed and laughed watching these kids run up and down the sidewalks.

{Isaac is the red ninja, John Paul a ninja turtle and Luke is spider man.}

Then it was Wednesday, first day of November and the day Matt was coming home!!!  And it started snowing midday and I was not in the mood to think about a delayed flight but he landed in a light snowfall a little before 10pm and we were all together again! yay!

Thursday was early dismissal and the kids bundled off to school eager for recess and an afternoon snowball fight with Daddy!


It was perfect timing for Matt to be home - afternoon snow play, and a day off school on Friday too!


We also had to establish a few snowball ground rules, and hitting someone else in the face (intentional or otherwise) is not going to go over well.


John Paul's disgruntled face is the result of being sent to the snowball fight penalty box for firing a poorly aimed snowball :)


We lit a fire and roasted some marshmallows to celebrate the first good snow dump of the season.  Delighted!

So much fun - your friend must have an awesome boy dress up closest!
