Things that happen in the Fall

So today was the first day we went to the classes for children held at our town's library. They have them every day but I just signed them up for Tuesday and Wednesday which are music time and story time. Our friend Kaycee also comes with Carson, (in fact she is the one who told us about them). It's so funny for me to see how different environments make kids act so differently. My boys are so loud and crazy at home, but as soon as we get in a new environment they are so quiet and shy. I guess that's kind of typical for a lot of kids, but sometimes I wish they were like that at home. :) It took them a while to warm up, but after a while I think they really enjoyed it.

The funniest part to me was the lady that taught the class. She just made them think "New Jersey". She was nice...but tough. She was having fun with the kids and made sure to include everyone, but she had rules....and you had to follow them....no matter how old you were. You could tell that the kids that had been in the class before really liked her though.

On a different note, I'm trying to decide what the kids should be for Halloween. I bought Old Navy costumes last year, but decided to not waste the money this year and have more fun making them myself. It's too hard to decide though.
I've asked the boys and these are their ideas: rocket ship, airplane, doggy, horse, turtle, honey bee.
For Annie I've thought of: butterfly, cupcake or flower (Christopher's idea).
Give me your votes on what they should be....or if you have any good ideas.

Halloween costumes - a mom's 'favorite' time of the year, right?! I dread having to figure that out for everyone and thought we'd (luckily) miss out on it this year, but it doesn't look like we will. I've always had good luck with the Family Fun magazine - they have ideas on their web page too.
