Halloween!

What a great way to end a month full of so much unpleasantness!

Want to know a fun and safe way to carve jack o' lanterns? A rubber mallet (or hammer if they are big enough) and a round cookie cutter set. They think it's great fun and the worst you have to worry about is bruised fingers. No blood! Yay!!

Micheal's had their gingerbread houses half off already! Five dollars for a couple hours of entertainment.

I got Tamarin's green cake makeup on amazon. I wanted to put more coats on (we did the night we went to Story Book Forest and she got so many comments on her costume!), but she's already tired of putting on makeup after doing it multiple nights this week. Tamarin and Lemur's costumes are clothes from the girls' section of Target. I prefer costumes that can be worn anytime and the pieces of these outfits can!

The books we read this week:


This is one of our favorites:


And lastly you can download a song version of this one for free over at Scholastic:


Hope everyone had as great of a night as we did :)
