Today the kids had a blast. William was a skeleton - He didn't wear the wings trick or treating. and Evelyn was a cow again. After school we had a quick dinner and Grandpa showed up with christmas cookies from panera for the kids and gave them to them for their treat buckets. William had another idea and I had to take it away (crying) I finally gave him a small piece so he would calm down and go trick or treating. J and dad took teh kids and I stayed behind in case there were more trick or treators after evelyn's friends came by (there were not). Dad ended up going with Evelyn so that Evelyn could catch up the the group of neighborhood kids. William stuck with dad and William did indeed say trick or treat tonight! the kid learns fast with proper motivation.
After trick or treating they watched Dora's Halloween at ate the well deserved cookie, bedtime was something else.

Buisy day = Breakdown
Today was a great day for the most part. We started out with swimming lessons and since Grandma and Grandpa are in South Carolina J came out to the lessons with me and the kids. Evelyn and William had a great time swimming around with daddy. It is truly amazing how far they have come in such a short time.
After swimming we ran strait to Zoe's 4th birthday party at the Jump Club. The kids had a great time jumping around on the bounce houses. Though William had some trouble getting into the bounce house and fell hitting his head it was not a bad injury and he was soon over it. I did watch him closer from then on. Evelyn had a blast and is now even more excited to have her party there whenever it may be.
After the party we played for a little while before dropping Jason off at home and heading to the library. Evelyn had a great time playing on the computer and with Ms. Lori who was nice enough to walk over and meet us there and help us into the car - she really is gifted with kids!
Once we got home we walked over to david's house down the street and played with all of the leaves that they had raked up during the day it was quite the pile. Evelyn and William went crazy as only they can and even David got into it a little bit.
After dinner we all needed a break so we watched Dora's Halloween adventure. This is where things started to get fussy. The movie had one episode left and it was to late to watch making the tired kids cranky. Evelyn had a series of bad decisions leading to a meltdown. She decided that she didn't want to bath with her brother however once his bath was done she wanted him there. I couldn't get her into the tub without counting. then she refused to clean off. it was a fun scream fest. but we did get her calmed down eventually.
It is safe to say we all were ready for bed tonight!

Stroke Farms
Today was Evelyn's first field trip which included quite a few firsts. She was so excited we got to school early. Then it was off to her first bus ride which she loved...
At Stoke Farms they had a ton of great activities including a mini farm where the kids could feed the animals.
They also had a train ride, hay pile, big slides and of course pumpkins!
And the end of the trip Evelyn had her first Bee sting. She handled it well and didn't have a big reaction thankfully (Ok I had William's Epi Pen on me) It doesn't hurt to have it just in case and the school where he was had one for him. I gave her some benadryl when we got back to the school and she had a great nap.
