Spooky Fun!

Eva started dance class the week before Halloween. She was supposed to wear her costume, but she was so excited she really wanted to wear her leotard. Her teacher let her wear a tiara, so she could be a ballet princess. She loved it, she asks every day, "Mom, do I get to go to dance today?" I love that she enjoys it!

I had a lot of fun making the kids spooky breakfast. One morning I made Ghost Toast, bloody brain  (eggs), ghost guts (bananas), and sinking sand (chocolate milk). 

We all went to Planet Play. JJ got to play laser tag for the first time, he thought it was great. I took JJ and Eva in the race cars. I ended up going around that track like 100 times. The kids had a great time!

A lady bug that landed on Eva, I love how this picture turned out!

Eva really wanted to paint her pumpkin, and JJ wanted to carve his. The turned out really cute!

Spencer and I went to the Army Surplus store to get a few things to surprise JJ. Spencer has surprised JJ the last three years. The first time JJ was Spider man, and Spencer dressed up as the black Spider man. Last year JJ was Darth Vader, and Spencer surprised him by being Darth Mal. This year we got dog tags made JJ's says "Army General Pratt" and Spencer's says, "Army Private Pratt". JJ thought it was great. I actually heard JJ say, "I don't take orders from you!", which was kind of funny, the first time, but it got old real quick. 

Eva was so excited she kept asking me throughout the day, "Mom, it's not Halloween is it?" I would tell her. "Yes, Eva it is Halloween, but it's not time to go trick or treating yet." She would just say "Oh", and then ask me again an hour later.

The weather couldn't have been better for trick or treating. I guess it was the calm before the storm, because the next morning we woke up to snow. At least the kids enjoyed it! :)

JJ recently started gymnastics. Each time he gets his hand stamped. I had pictures scheduled, so I asked his teacher if he could get stamps on his big muscles. He thought it was great! He is really enjoying gymnastics. I think he's a little natural.

When I took the pictures of his muscles he started goofing off, so I just started snapping pictures. I thought it was fun, and I like the results...
