Halloween hijinks.

Long time, no blog, I know. But October contained two Matt trips, and two shows which opened and closed. With great sales and some rave reviews, so both companies are off to a great start for the season.

I slept for eleven, count them, ELEVEN hours last night.  And there were approximately the same number of inches of snow on the ground this morning.  Which means I have five minutes to upload photos of the kids' adventures. Because isn't that what every adoring mama does with her copious spare time when November finally comes and it's not Thanksgiving panic break yet?

T's class went to the pumpkin patch up in Longmont the Friday before All Hallows' Eve.  The train there was the highlight of his trip.  Here he is with a friend in a middle boxcar, and then in the caboose:

Slightly after T's big Halloween trip to the patch, M's school had a costume party and crafts day on Monday, where she made a cute little spider-and-ghost mobile for the kitchen. Here is the Wicked Witch of the West, with SuperGirl:

And the two troublemakers together, on their way to a Saturday night Halloween soiree. For those of you not au courant with Pixar films, T was Dash from "The Incredibles." I love how the costume is one size too big so it looks like he has a very muscle-y potbelly. M is doing her best to look wicked:

Now that we've passed the four-day-holiday-marathon that Halloween was this year, I can clean house and dig out all the winter clothes.  Clearly we need them since we're already having our second snowstorm of the year.  T tried to sneak shorts under his snow pants at one point in the recent past, but we are now past those days of innocence.  Now I have firmly implanted that SNOW = PANTS.  His future wife will thank me one day, I'm sure.
