A few weeks ago my stay-at-home moms group had an outing at a bowling alley. I was sick with strep throat so Travis was nice enough to sub for me and take the boys. They had a great time.

Trick or Treating
Last night was the grand finale of a very eventful Halloween week.
The boys had more fun handing out candy to trick or treaters than they did trick or treating themselves. They camped out by the door for quite a while.
Before they went to bed, we put all the unsafe candy out on the back deck for the Peanut Vampire. He eats peanuts instead of sucking blood. He left them the new Funky Mama CD in exchange for the candy.

The Neverending Halloween
Cash's preschool Halloween party was yesterday. They kicked of the party by dancing to Shout (You Make Me Wanna).
Then it was craft time:
And then snack time.
I made these little ghosts for the party treats:

Trunk or Treat Part II - Here Comes the Rain
West's Trunk or Treat was moved indoors due to rain. Somehow a circle of moms sitting in folding chairs is not quite the same. Cash had fun helping me hand out candy.
After Folding Chair Trick or Treat, we moved back into the classroom for the party.

Trunk or Treat
Yesterday was Trunk or Treat for Cash's class at school. Because the two-year old class only goes Mondays and Wednesdays, the Pre-K classes did Trunk or Treat with them today but will still have their party on Friday. So Cash gets to wear his costume to school two days! Once again, West helped me hand out candy and spent most of his time while we were waiting for it to start sampling all the candy. I found a ton of peanut-free candy this year so I went a little overboard because I wanted to buy a bag of each variety. I bought: Tootsie Rolls, Hershey's Kisses in little packs, Hershey's bars (there is a size slightly bigger than fun size that is peanut free), Junior Carmels, Tootsie Pops and Dum Dums.

The Many Faces of Cash and West
While I was gone scrapbooking Saturday, Travis helped the boys make masks from a book Cash picked out at the library.

Jackolanterns
Cash is making the same face as his pumpkin. West wanted his pumpkin to look just like his big brother's.

Third Tooth
Cash lost his third tooth this morning. It's been loose for months and he finally decided to devote some time and energy to wiggling it.
Cash spent a good deal of time tonight cross-examining Travis about the whole tooth fairy thing. He's getting pretty suspicious of the concept. His last question was, "What would the tooth fairy do if she left the screen off the window and had to come back during the day to put it back on and someone came upstairs and saw her doing it?"
It's the one on the bottom - here's the close-up:
Then West told me he wanted me to take a picture of his Halloween smile:
