Thank You Veteran's

 Ian's school every year puts on a Veteran's Day (well Veteran's Night) Program.  They begin the night with kettlecorn and lemonade which is followed with letters written and read by the kids, songs and Veteran's who give speeches.  Before heading home they have a High School Drum Line perform and then they lead us in a flag planting parade :)  Super-fun and we always have a great time!  

More October

We forgot a couple events that took place in October...

 My sisters came into town from Vacaville to visit...we took the kids to John's Incredible Pizza for a little grub and some fun

Ian's school also had a carnival...his class was in charge of the soda booth.  

October

October was a very busy month for all of us...

 I've been helping a lot in Ian's classroom.  One day while I was there, they were learning about bats.  Ian can now tell you a bunch of cool things bats can do, like they are mammals and they have webbed wings.  

 Ian played soccer every Saturday in October.  His last game he got a huge surprise...Aunt Jen, Uncle Alan, Aunt Tammy, Uncle Don, Darrell, Grandma, Grandpa and James were there. After the game, we went to a pizza party to celebrate.  

 Ty and I went to a Halloween Costume Party in LA... We went with 6 other people and had a great time.

 With all the fun stuff going on in October, we didn't get to carve our pumpkins until the night before Halloween.  Luke and Ty shared a pumpkin, mainly because Luke was only interested in pulling out the seeds and stabbing the pumpkin (he was not much interested in carving a face into it).  Ian had his own pumpkin,  and only needed a little help with the carving.   

 Halloween Day was a bit crazy...Luke spent the morning with my Dad, so I could help in Ian's class.  The morning started with a traditional Halloween Parade.  Then it was back to the classroom for Halloween Centers and a Yummy Treat.

Batman and Robin 

 After school, we went to Ty's work to see the awesome decorations. Ty's department decided to do a Farm Theme this year.

Afterwards, it was off to a friend's house for a little Halloween Party.  We had Pizza, made caramel apples and played.

Robin, Batman, Poison Ivy and Scarcrow

 Then we went home to get ready for Trick-Or-Treating...Jon, Jo and Teresa came over to walk with us and Ian's friend from school Hailey, her Dad and her Gma also joined us. 

 The next day, I was back at Ian's school... We melted crayons on pumpkins.  It was a very fun project, but after melting crayons on 27 pumpkins, I'm so over crayons and I need a new hair dryer :)
