The boys are looking forward to Halloween with great excitement. We had fun picking out pumpkins, scraping out pumpkins and carving pumpkins. We love Halloween, and I feel a little sad that the schools here can't/don't celebrate. They had a wear orange and black day, but it just doesn't seem the same. I know that it's important to be respectful of other cultures in our public schools, but at the same time, I miss the way we used to go all out when we were kids.
Charlie is a great, patient dog with Aidan, and I'm so glad. Now, I wish I could socialize Charlie with other dogs. That part of adopting an older dog is a little frustrating as we don't think he was socialized with other dogs at all.
Though Aidan finds it all very humorous.
On a different note, we are having a group of preschoolers/toddlers over to the house tomorrow for a Halloween storytime. I made haunted houses with a scroll of Halloween creatures that move through the door while we do a poem. I"m happy with how they turned out.
The poem, which Aidan LOVES goes like this:
Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe, tip toe.
Who's that knocking at my door.
Could it be a __________ (ghost, mummy, witch, monster, black cat, etc.)?
AHHHHH!
Run, run, run. Run, run, run.
I don't know the author of this little poem to give them credit. I heard it at Liam's old preschool. Ihave to catch Aidan doing this on video - his little scream is hilarious.
Take care everyone, and happy Halloween when the time comes!

Hey Carol,
I thought I would check out your blog again as I haven't in awhile. The kids just love watching the videos of Aiden. He is too cute for words! He is learning so much, thanks to a great Mommy like you. :) Thanks again for the paper house. It is in the car and Katie taught Madeline the words and now they both sing it in the car.
See you at school.
Chris
